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.

When they say "people," does that mean, 1, 20, 8 million, or what? They will define it and I'm sure this is a way of saying they're getting rid of it so there isn't a grand exodus.

I guess this does matter to me, because every time i see new reddit, I take the requisite 10 seconds to retype the URL and change to old reddit. I never log in anymore, but I do make sure its old reddit.

Cool, it’d be nice if spez dies in a fire.

This vibe reminds me of the Reddit I enjoyed back in 2010. No, we can't always be toxic af everywhere (sometimes it's a fun little treat), but at the same time, not everything needs to be a goddamn bubble-wrapped "safe space."

Hah. I got banned from /r/politics years ago for using that saying to a toxic rando.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

fuck you! i got banned from about a dozen subreddits because i told someone on /r/conspiracy that they said something stupid.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Reddit let that sub be a global hub for dangerous anti-vaxx misinformation during the pandemic while going after everyone else. Made zero sense.

if they said that about 3rd party apps 2 years ago i would never found Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Its been 2 years already aye. I was so optimistic at the time. "Finally I'll be able to stop doom scrolling"

How innocent I was

I actually continued to use a 3rd party app up until a few months ago. I created a Lemmy account when all that happened 2 years ago, but I didn't use it much. Glad to see it's been improved, well until recently finding out the creators of Lemmy support Russia.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, it's disappointing to know some of the things the Lemmy devs support but this being a federated platform means you don't really have to be on Lemmy to interact with the posts and users here. Piefed and Mbin work just as well and are fully independent projects so you could try those instead.

That’s the beauty of an idea, though. The worst people can have good ideas and good people can benefit from them. In certain cases, they can use the ideas against the creator themselves. I just consider it a fact of life and avoid giving those people my money directly where possible.

This is a change from “we will keep it online forever” which is common for a pigboy

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

why does it matter once you've been banned for saying something and they won't tell you why and you can't appeal the decision?

they're actively moving users OFF of their platform.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (11 children)

It's what they did to me. They made up an excuse because I was critical of Musk.

I don’t know I left voluntarily and overwrote all my comments with garbage data.

I have no reason to believe tbis. Not that it matters to me.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

old.reddit is literally the only thing that keeps me coming back. i hope they kill it. i'm sick of scrolling for ten minutes just to find a post worth clicking on. i've got netflix for shit like that.
