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:
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.
Yikes ! It's alarming because these are actual adults, who procreate and vote...
I'm doing my best to stop reading Reddit since I can't comment. I hate when I have good information to share and can't so I'm working on finding better places where I can speak freely without some "moderator" getting involved......so far this platform has been nice. If the audience and topics pick up, I'm here for it π§‘...
Fuck Reddit, their algorithm, "bans", and any cowardly Moderator.π€£
If you still have to use reddit for some stuff, don't comment / vote giving them engagement and content.
If you do you are part of the problem.
On one thread there were a bunch of creeps making pervy jokes about a 14 year old girl. I called them out for being pedophiles and reported them. I got banned from an entire network of default subs.
Given the long history of reddit's early factions, It looks like the evil side is the one in power again.
So... Conservatives.
Um... checks notes, "... this online culture (we will call it X) ... [They] watch things like Ero Manga Sensei. They laugh at the thinly vailed excuses the show makes. The purpose is to protect the viewer from the discomfort its premise causes while stil fufilling the fantasy ..." So... yeah. Thats correct.
Why are you even still on Reddit? Should have quit years ago.
My guess is for the stuff thats hard to find anywhere else.
I had always thought that powertripping moderators would cause the downfall of reddit.
I still feel that it is the case, if reddit doesn't crash itself before the moderators do
I finally threw in the towel when I got suspended by a bot for making a joke about Boeing.
lots of [removed] and [deleted] and way too many sub rules
it's hard to know if just going to lemmy or trying to improve reddit are better strategies (or some other reddit alternative)
Try to improve lemmy/fediverse 100%
Similar thing happened to me on /r/REBubble. Posted a story about how a tenant self immolated while being a victim. Got banned for 3 days for being political and violent even though it was a national story and posted in other parts of Reddit. I also got bombarded with Reddit Cares health checks implying that posting the story meant I was suicidal.
But yeah, just like 4chan, on top of having to follow the rules you have to tip toe around the mods' political biases. In this case it was the mods getting upset at a story that laid bare the brutality that goes into enforcing the private property rights of landlords.
self emulated
Did you mean immolated?
Yes, fixed.
On the one hand I think reddit is getting really bad. On the other hand I'm not sure you can make sweeping statements about the state of reddit based on your negative interaction with one moderator.
Oh please, its been terrible for years now and we all know it. Not in every sub, but the top level ones absolutely are
That's absolutely hilarious, as if this is some big high-stakes trial. That guy needs to get a grip on reality.
Only at reddit? Take a look at lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml.
I've had worse experiences on lemmy.world subs so far. I switched to using the lemmy.ml equivalent due to it.
EDIT: A good example is the reply I got here: https://lemmy.world/comment/10323234. This [email protected] is full of pro-reddit trolls & shills, and the mods don't fight it. [email protected] seems better so far.
Lemmy.ml is fine as long as you don't criticize Stalinism, but they don't hide their viewpoint or pretend they're all about freezes peaches.
Moderation as a skill involves many subskills in my opinion: critical thinking, empathy, taking on another perspective, restraint, etc.
The issue is that reddit showed lack of all these in the months following the API fallout. This led to many βrealβ moderators leaving.
The people remaining have a moral code that allows them to ignore the things that happened because otherwise they would leave too (empathy), or they think they can fix it (critical thinking).
Thats why you end up with messages like this.
I never thought of it this what but I think you're right. But what is it that lead you to believe there was a mod exodus after the API lockout.
Iβm a former reddit mod, I was part of the reddit mod community, I have discussed the topic at length with other mods, a lot of us have made new communities on lemmy. Iβd say thats how I got the idea.
All the mods that exited lol
A good point, but this kind of atrocious moderation has existed for many years. https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Reddit
The main thing that changed recently is that the admins are now as capricious as mods. The admins don't live up to a higher standard, they do whatever they want.
Probably not the space to ask this, but have you ever talked to a doctor about depression?
It's the "no good cops because good cops either quit or become bad cops" problem.
Very well put
Thank you
Yeah I think a lot of the real mods left during the API debacle.
What's left is fewer mod tools and less experienced moderators, a bad combination.
Why aren't you saying what sub it is or who the mini hitler was?
The only way is to have standards, oversight, multistage review process, and paid moderators - or bots.
Too many agendas in play, no defined process, lack of accountability.
Mods on power trips will ruin everything they attempt to control.
You should have replied with βyes mistressβ
100% hahahaha!
Whats βredditβ?
A cesspool of white supremacists and pedophiles?
The thing that this community is about.
Ah.
"He's just a little shy because I've tried to kill him so many times."
"Ah."
Shill/shitpost training data for AI.
You and the mods need to get your shit together and start creating shareholder value as youβre intended to do.
I'm just waiting for the wrong person to get banned from some useless subreddit and then go ballistic and file a class action lawsuit. Double points if they are a shareholder too.
at this point i wouldn't be surprised if the mods were ai bots as well. it would actually explain a lot. nice government experiment to see if they can get a community of bots to control society
