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.

okay, why repost it here then?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

I get that, but this particular community is about Reddit. You're gonna see reddit-related content here.

Is that because the only people hand counting now are regressives?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 5 months ago

I already get that on Lemmy for Biden. 🙄

if you think Babylon Bee is satire I recommend you watch this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U2Srxl7bw6c

and then tell me how it is anything but thinly veiled right-wing propaganda

edit: or this https://youtube.com/shorts/fo4ly63TJNw?si=zQg5iTQC5MYp4pYT

I could be convinced that the first one is satire about what conservatives think the country is turning into, some real Tony Zaret shit

deleted~~Oh, yeah, We pushed so hard for it that now its (to the best of my limited knowledge, also hopefully) behind a psyche eval instead of a simple (dumb, no complex logic) age gate.~~

~~Its a decently made skit with a well written script. Good job making mential poison, Now stop being a weasel and go do somthing better with your life.~~

we**, it's*, psych*, mental*, now** (**or maybe you meant to use a semicolon instead of a comma).

Consider reading without giving input until you understand what people are talking about.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Of course he gave a sizeable lead with them, his base never threatened to kill them.

[–] [email protected] 85 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

The problem with Babylon Bee is that conservatives aren’t smart enough to know it’s satire. So now we have to rebut and defend against the bullshit they read there as if it were real.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

The Babylon Bee also makes articles under the guise of satire in an attempt to take advantage of this very fact. They're basically a misinformation source that calls themselves satire because they know their base will take them seriously, but they can deny it. They're basically Fox News calling themselves the onion.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Entertainment. They said they can't be sued because no one would take them seriously because they aren't news, they are "entertainment." They won.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

That was fucking ridiculous. As if there's not ample evidence that millions of people take Fox News seriously.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago

Yep, they are not satire at all, recently a video from them popped up in my feed, that's about gender reassignment surgery, there was nothing satirical or funny about it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

There is no such thing as an "unblockable ad".
