News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I've noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.

Shitty moderation, biased mods, oh well

I just got banned for saying that if RFK doesn't believe in germ theory we should dust him with anthrax and see what he says, lol.

I got an account ban for stating how terrorists deserve to die, which I guess is a controversial opinion now. Bunch of pussies in charge of the place now.

Its been downhill for a while but seems to have picked up speed in the last 6 months or do. Hmm. Wonder why that is.

Capitalistic facism aka enshittiffication.

It’s starting here too I called out a 5hr old account for being a suspected Russian bot and my comments were removed. I also got mobbed on by a manosphere group in a comment on an article about a book that a woman wrote about being doxed with revenge porn. The toxic Reddit culture is starting to come over.

I find anything remotely pro women has always got shitty comments from the manosphere. We recently had a spate of shitty male comments on [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Thanks for this response. I feel less alone. It’s pretty frustrating to see these manosphere mobs claiming victim status and accusing people of misandry when women speak frankly about their lived experiences. I was hoping that lemmy would be a better space for this kind of thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I know, it's disappointing. The nice thing is how fantastically supportive so many men have been, I've had a few DMs and really nice comments from them. It's just the bad are so awful

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

You're on lemmy.world, they're the default landing zone but imo there is better moderation on dbzer0 and others. Keep looking around and report stuff you see if it's hate content. Good luck...

Elon whined to the admins, reddit is completely run by fascist bootlickers lmao. You can't even shit talk dusty evangelicals for being the amoral murder rapists they are without getting a site wide ban

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh good I’m not alone in believing something weird is going on like AI moderation. Random old account I had I wasn’t even using got a notification it was permabanned for violating a rule. No definition of which rule. Tried asking. Just a repeat that I violated a rule with no definition of which rule.

It must be just bots on there now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

no your not, i noticed it was odd that i wasnt recieving the incident of the ban, like they usually give if you get banned. but its just AI message and autorejection. and then the last thing, other accounts i havnt used years ago is banned too.

additionally, i had recieved a temp ban prior but it somehow triggered this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Thanks,

I think I’m now just super creeped out at the thought of an entire site that is just AI bots now, updooting and responding to each other.

Or maybe I should be relieved. I was checking some of the stuff over there lately and I’ve just been getting sad and depressed about how stupid people have been getting.

Although it is Weird that Elon is getting offended by bots tho. Apparently he’s been asking spez to get rid of the mean dems saying bad things about him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

he partially the reason there was a purge in januarary.

Billionaires are taking control of any avenue for free speech. Get yourself ready to switch to torr. Won't be long now until it's the last place free of misinfo/disinfo campains.
