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.

MODERATORS
Its working as intended for me. Hence, I’m here.
When it comes back up the remaining 5 actual human users will have had their accounts taken over to be used by more bots.
Weird, it's been down for me since June of last year.
Somewhat tangential question: Why do so many sites have links to an external status monitoring site, but when the site is down and you go to check the status on that external status monitoring site, it says everything's fine? What's the point of the status site if it doesn't actually acknowledge that there's any sort of outage nor provide any info on it?
Nice. ☺️
I hope reddit dies
All corporate social media needs to die
Reddit being down is how I found out about this place. This is literally my first post here. Thanks for sucking Reddit!
Commas, please!
And welcome :)
Yeah, after the API changes I created a lemmy account
Welcome.
Welcome! Watch out for Hexbear and the .ml instances, lots of disinformation and propaganda
Don't forget to apply to the No Poop Challenge!
Jokes aside, welcome. It's a bit messy but fun here. Make sure to take a look at how instances work, for most part you can ignore it but it does improve a lot your experience.
DRRRRRRRRRRR…
The top two mistakes I ever made on the Fediverse were unknowingly posting in Chapotraphouse in hexbear.net, and similarly in Lemmygrad.ml. Lemmy was practically unusable for me until I realized I could block those instances (and later lemmy.ml), which improved my happiness here by >99%, no joke.
Definitely it's worth paying attention to how instances work.
I'm the same way.. I don't like to block people because I want to know what everybody's saying... But I had to block hex bear. I normally just scroll all and they were everywhere all the time everyday and it just got too much.
I used to be quite proud of myself for never blocking anyone on Reddit, ever. Also I was a mod of a couple of gaming subs, so it wouldn't have worked in those anyway:-). But eventually I realized... it wasn't helping my state of mind, and rather it was affecting my irl relationships too. So I stepped back from modding, and finally blocked a particularly onerous troll account that I did not want to ban as a mod, but I sure did enjoy blocking him as a normal user.:-)
There's a saying about the only thing we must not tolerate is intolerance, and it doesn't quite go far enough imho as to state the consequences of failing to block intolerance - that they drag us down to become more like them:-(.

Just for curiosity, what was the troll doing?
I got a few of them from my Reddit mod times too, but since I was moderating smaller subs I had some freedom to tweak the rules towards their behaviour. (Because if I'm getting annoyed by the troll, odds are that other members are too.)
it's a bit messy
From all the users that failed the No Poop Challenge 😔
Welcome, hope you like Linux memes…and beans.
And jeans!
Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!
Who cares? Reddit has historically had a ton of outtages. Why even post this?
Yeah back when still used reddit I found myself scrolling through the comments of coping redditters on downdetector.com at least once every couple of months I swear, and I was never even that active
I don't get it either. I know a lot of lemmy users have an axe to grind with reddit, but treating every temporary outage like it's dead forever is just bizarre.
It's like honestly delusional behavior. Just a huge echo chamber repeating the same boring shit over and over. It's ironic because one of the reasons that people came to Lemmy was to eacape the Reddit circklejerk culture.
On top of it, this is fucking Daily Mail. They fell for a Daily Mail shock value story.
I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.
What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.
why do honest communicstion when yould instead make people feel guilty and coerce them into coming back
Look, I hate reddit as much as the next person, but if you don't realize that page is a joke, you're too dumb for the internet.
Of course it's a joke, but also...
Whether intentional or not, it does kinda reflect the spirit of toxic insensitivity. Also, however it started, they left it that way even after this fact was pointed out to them.
Ding ding ding. Its possible to pass off dark patterns as jokes and jokes to become dark patterns when the joke isn't funny anymore
It's the same reason the KKK wears masks - cowards like to hide behind dog whistle language, when they feel disinclined to face any actual consequences of their beliefs and actions.
By that comparison, Reddit's message isn't even so bad (as KKK hate speech!:-), but it does look like it may fall into a similar category at least.
Or not - surely its founder is totally a nice guy who really was simply joking around there with the messaging strategy, no toxicity there at all, amiright!?
