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.
Back in the 90s there was an article about some “spam king” guy who was blasting out millions of emails and basically crushing mail servers and making inboxes useless. They interviewed him and he was all indignant about it like “I have the right to do this” and all that.
That is when I knew the internet and humanity was doomed from the start.
Sadie to hear, I used to mod for that subreddit and i felt like I was making a difference. I haven't been a mod for years and haven't been on reddit in 2.
I'd estimate as much as 50% of the entire community left on Reddit are bots. I've seen people being downvoted systemically, just for saying completely ordinary things that aren't even controversial.
So....if dead internet theory has gone into effect, does that mean adverts are basically just a medium of wealth circulation between tech bros in a circle jerk?
Sounds spot on to me
A meme is by definition a repost though. The reuse is literally what makes it a meme.
Yes, but identical posts within a short time frame is just spam.
Even before the insane number of bots that are on reddit today, I believe that subreddit was one of the main ways for astroturf accounts to gain karma quickly. They knew that everyone was just there to look at happy things and would upvote heavily.
Even knowing that, it was a nice reprieve from the trash everywhere else.
It's been so surface level, basic and pseudo inspirational for years
Agreed. I remember joining that one at some point and I left so fast. Completely vapid.
People finally find a place to be happy and bots come and ruin it. I hate robots.
Other than bots, who else is even still on Reddit...? :-P It's bots interacting with bots, all the way down.
I would be but I'm banned for no reason lol
This needs to be on a mug!
Bots and average people who used the Reddit app and don't know what Linux is
And don't post, apparently, only doom scroll to consume bot-produced content.
Unlike here on Lemmy, where we repost memes from Reddit:-). (j/k, there are some true heroes here who truly produce content and we love them for it!)
autocorrect appears to have turned "wholesomememes" into "wholesomeness" in your title
Wholesome meme: Kill All Humans.
--Bender
You have no idea how many nihilistic eco-fascists would unironically agree that "Kill all humans" is indeed a wholesome sentiment.
Lol I feel like any big sub would see a similar drop in quantity.
