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
 

Randomly made a little post on Reddit that cloned one I made on lemmy, and it really showed the difference in user. I brought a screen protector and mentioned it didn't have glue and got a comment from each platform regarding the same issue that really made me realise the difference in communities and how tired I've become of the whole "well ackually" mentality of Reddit.

Lemmy comment, just asking a question and provides a solution trying to help: "Is it perhaps static cling, or do you have to apply with a water/soap solution?"

Reddit comment just randomly guessing and making out I'm a moron who doesn't know how screen protectors work despite me saying in the description I'd done so, got 14 upvotes on a 20 upvoted post, so this is basically the vibe of that sub I guess.

"I'm inclined to believe that you didn't peel the right side. "

This is my rant for the evening, think I'll go back to not bothering with Reddit any more, maybe I am stupid :D.

“well ackually”

One wonders how you'd prefer the sentence start where you're offered a correction by someone thinking of your success.

I suspect you've heard it a bunch, and if that trend continues then you'll want to advertise a better way for people to help you so they don't inadvertently offend you ... while they help you.

And it's cool; I get you. I too hate it when people volunteer their finite time in a sisyphean effort to fix one error at a time. I realize it's ultimately selfish, in that they're just trying to make the world better for themselves, but it's the blow to my ego that really gets me. How dare they offer some different viewpoint and bring the receipts to attack my world-view?
