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.

Last night, I finally made the switch from Reddit to Lemmy. Honestly it was something I should have done a long time ago. I’d been hearing about Lemmy for a while, but I kept brushing it off because it seemed complicated or too niche or too techy. But after one too many encounters with power-hungry mods, desperate upvote chasers, and a flood of obvious bots, I hit my breaking point. I actually ended up learning more about Lemmy from people venting on Reddit itself, which was kind of ironic!!

I set up an account here, took a last look around Reddit, and bailed. Reddit used to feel like a genuine community, but now it's just a money-hungry platform, clearly trying to squeeze out every dollar as it spirals down. Lemmy might be new to me, but at least here, it feels like voices still matter. I know you guys already know this, but I want to throw it out there: You all are right!

FYI - your mod history of banning people left and right and not being able to take the slightest criticism of the Orange Shit Flinging Gibbon is why you got banned from Politics:

Done forget Reddit now run by donkey (admin) keep banning people without any reason. It is a garbage platform.

Welcome! Don't feel shy to check out other instances than .ml or .world. Like dbzero, solarpunk and many more.

Hmmm... I mean, you won't fit in with Lemmy proper any more than Reddit proper (perhaps worse, lol), but it raises a question to other lemmings: are there any conservative instances?

I'm torn, as on the one hand I'd prefer you not have an echo chamber, but on the other hand I'd like to see Lemmy prosper. There's a reason instances defederate from one another, and radical idiology is one. Look at Hexbear for an example.

Btw, Lemmy was created by genuine communists (not the hyperbole ones, I mean actual ones) and run the Lemmy.ml instance. While it's FOSS and therefore plenty of others have run and moderate their own instances, keep in mind that's our starting point.

This thread is so interesting.

You're not welcome here. Go away.

The guy you like praises Hitler for fucks sake. Wake up.

We don’t agree politically, but that’s beside the point. Welcome! Congrats on escaping reddit, and I hope you enjoy Lemmy!
