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:
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.
After checking the achievement notification, I was presented with this:
Context: I still have an account after using PDS to alter/remove all my posts and wiping my profile, but I still get messages from redditors seeking help so I check in from time to time.
Are you guys still using Reddit?
Nope.
Reddit sucks yes but lemmy it's hard to find tech support.
My account there still exists for a couple of reasons.
One, so that nobody else uses my name there. Two, so that all my comments still say "Spez doesn't get to profit from me anymore." Three, since I rarely go there at all, and then only to read something, never to actually interact, that should fuck with their metrics.
After deleting your account, nobody can ever use that username again. (Including yourself)
For point 2, I'm not sure how you mean that but when you delete your account, it doesn't delete your posts and comments.
I think their metrics showing people are deleting their accounts might be more impactful, because there are probably loads of unused accounts naturally.
Spez already profited from you, OpenAI already scraped all of Reddit's content to feed ChatGPT
It's kind of ok as a news aggregator, especially for non-US news. The comments have long gone to hell, however. I stop reading threads after encountering the 10th or so "/s", which usually happens a few seconds in.
Yes, m*stly through Apollo which has a tweak so it still works (that's right, I jailbreak in 2024)
yes because LEMMY STILL SUUUUUCKS
