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.

Well now this is trashy. I got permabanned from r/interstingasfuck for posting a comment in r/MensRights that was an attempt to correct some misinformation. I've never made a post in either subreddit and that was the only comment I've ever made in the MensRights subreddit. But r/interstingasfuck's bot decided to permaban me even though I've not broken any rules.

The ban

The single comment I've ever made on r/MensRights

Man Reddit is trash.

This was going on also during COVID.

If you say COVID was leaked from the lab in Wuhan you get banned from 10 other subreddits.

Even though there were multiple academic research suggests that might be the case.

Could even get dog-piled for saying "we need more info" in the early days of that.

it was weird, like literarily they were researching and publishing about SARS like viruses in bats as early as 2015, and yet people got crazy if someone said it might be a leak.

Here is a paper published in 2015 called "Bat origin of human coronaviruses" by Zhengli Shi ( Key Laboratory of Special Pathogens and Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China )

Reddit logic: suggesting a lab accident automatically makes you racist or anti-science or something.

Even us intelligence said it was a valid theory but nah fuxk the plebs, can't discuss it

[–] Dkarma 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's cuz certain groups steer those discussions to a racist place EVERY SINGLE TIME

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

so because somebody did something normal people can't have a discussion on the topic?

wtf are you even shilling? limits on free speech because bad faith actors derailing discussion on socials?

Do you understand that covert domestic or foreign actor could use this as loop hole for censorship of undesirable topics?
