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.

I haven't looked at the front page of Reddit since the exodus. I have used it to deshittify Google search results but that's it. I imagine it's absolute garbage by now.

[–] Psythik 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Same. Unfortunately I still need to visit smaller subreddits to get answers on niche topics, but that's my only use for it now. In and out; 10 minute adventure. Not spending all day on the front page like I used to. Any more time than that on the website, and I'll just end up getting into an argument with some Gen Alpha idiot who feels the need to butt in and say something ignorant. 10-15 years ago you'd only see that kind of behavior during summer break. Now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.

I hope that one day I can finally abandon that shithole for good.

Even the smaller subreddits on niche topics seem to be dying. I suppose the lost good will (and loss of third party mod tools, or course) caused many of the superusers to leave.

Their reputation and their front page are both in the trash. It's not a fun website to be on anymore.

A number of the technical subreddits made their own forums on discourse, and the subreddits are either closed or in a zombie state.

Holy fuck, you're right. They are all adults ish now. U nailed it with the /r/summerreddit take

I went and looked last night out of curiosity, and found absolutely vile racism on r/Canada talking about immigration. It was just shy of "deport them all' in the comments.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Was it racist or did you just not like their opinion

Do you understand how housing shortage with price gouging, wage suppression and deteriorating social services will result in people not like immigrations?

Sounds like the regime fucked up and people expressing their political opinion on the issue.

But nahh... Just call people racist 🤡

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

They were racist and all around bigots in that sub reddit years before the housing issues, seems like you are defending shitty people.

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

I rarely touched that shithole called the front page. Mainly in Redditplanet for Windows Mobile, since you can't login there.
