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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

To be fair, I sound like a bot sometimes.

Willing to bet there was an original that was functionally repurposed for duplication and bot farming. Who knows how many of these identical threads are floating around in other channels?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The 10 month ago one (on the right) looks like the original, it was a much more upvoted thread and has much less suspicious usernames

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Your right differs from mine

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Same! The old one is on the left for me, how is that possible?

Edit: Nevermind the poster just updated the post lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, this is still what I see

probably some syncing issues because the post was from a different instance, if I click on the little fediverse button to view it from lemmy.blahaj.zone it shows them in the other order

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yes, it's kind of a strange federation synchronization issue after the edit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Even the original has some generic-users with squirrelly generic posts. But yes, that's what I'd put my money on.

Never trust a default username

[adjective] [noun] [3-4 digits] is always a sign of bad news, on social media and Xbox Live

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Usually Xbox Live has XxxNAMExxX

Cutesy auto generated names are too useful for bots, the lazy, and fans of cutesy name combos.

Should have made defaults your approximate IP geolocation. I’m kidding of course for privacy reasons, but a little similar motivation to think about a better name during creation couldn’t hurt (looking at Reddit here).

Edit: but hey - maybe it’s not desirable for one to be able to distinguish users. I wonder… nah, Reddit would never… 😒
