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.

Oh yeah, AskReddit went to shit a while ago. It used to be my favourite subreddit, but it changed about 5 years ago I think.
What's your favorite Iron Man scene from any of the Marvel Movies?
Fun thing to do is when you realize 99% of the internet is just advertising teams working for these rich fucking A hole's, is you make them work for their money but posting things that PR companies would hate. Just culture jam the hell out of the dead internet. Its the only way to be. Its what makes places like r/joerogan and r/thefighterandthekid so much fun.
Can you provide examples?
Examples of what? Marketing teams? Check out a company called bent pixels.
To see it in action, check out r/marvel.
As far as culture jamming it goes, I don't have many because it gets your account banned pretty fast.
just quote one here, or make one up. I also am curious to know what "culture jamming" even means.

Site wide ban as well, not just a particular sub.
It’s funny how Reddit is banning more genuine people everyday and letting the bots run wild.
It'll get worse everywhere in the internet until we return to books and printed media again because we don't know what's fake and what's real

I would almost be okay with a proffer that it is bots asking the questions, but that the discourse is between human beings. That's all I really care about. It's rare that I respond directly to OP, or at least I do so less frequently than I'm responding to someone in the comments.
I remember back in the early days on forums, sometimes they'd just feel dead, and it was mainly a lack of content (threads). Once a thread would open, us morons behind keyboards could talk it to death, or more likely just divert in perpetuity.
That's a really good use for bots, since new users haven't seen the best posts and may actually enjoy discussing them. Older users can simply move on, filter from their stream if they get bored of it.
News flash: it’s not just ask Reddit. It’s Reddit entirely. That place is a shithole of bots.
Beep, boop! I am a bot, and this action was performed naturally.
Am I really a bot though?
The only good answers I find to things are 3+ years old.
Yeah. That or niche subreddits that just aren’t popular enough to warrant bots. Like specific game communities. But even some of the big ones are full of bots.
That was true a decade ago
Ever since the War Lizard Gaming Forum shutdown Reddit has been 99% bot content
how are people so bad with colors
Pissing off all their best users sure was a fantastic idea.
remember when they banned bots on r/mademesmile or something and there were no posts anymore?
Wholesome memes, actually.
How could mods ban all the bots posing as human users?
Wasn't that just recently?
