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.

the mods have gone psycho over at reddit (self.reddit)

54 comments fedilink hide all child comments

someone on a subreddit said they had brain bleeding. i asked how it happened. a mod immediately removed it and said that it was an intrusive comment or some nonsense..i messaged them asking them to explain how, and i explained how i thought it would actually be beneficial for the readers if they decided to answer and that they didnt. they responded with some authoritarian nonsense which they actually later deleted. today i get this from them:

Yesterday, I told you:

please tell me that you are willing to back down, to follow our rules, and to take moderator direction in the future without endless and exhausting debate -- or indeed without any debate at all. Otherwise, you will no longer be welcome at r/(removed)

Since you have not confirmed and are instead ignoring me, may I take this to mean that you no longer want to be part of r/(removed)?

i was tempted to reply "yes mistress"

this is sadly almost a step in the right direction cuz now they will ban you solely if they dont like your posts or other communities youre a part of.

they want you to go belly up and comply like they get off on it 😂.

i hope reddit crashes and burns hard lmao

Only at reddit? Take a look at lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml.

I've had worse experiences on lemmy.world subs so far. I switched to using the lemmy.ml equivalent due to it.

EDIT: A good example is the reply I got here: https://lemmy.world/comment/10323234. This [email protected] is full of pro-reddit trolls & shills, and the mods don't fight it. [email protected] seems better so far.

Lemmy.ml is fine as long as you don't criticize Stalinism, but they don't hide their viewpoint or pretend they're all about freezes peaches.
