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.

Here I'm going to criticize the right real quick.

The right is so boring. Jeeze. Always hysterical. They don't like information that is rooted fact. So culturally hitlerist.

It's very strange to see that subreddit on the front page every day since the election.

Before it would only hit once in a blue moon. It's too bad reddit did away with the up/downvote count a long time ago. To think you could actually get the real score on reddit. Now I have a feeling their algorithm is promoting certain posts like this one.

But that's why we are on Lemmy/pixelfed/etc.

Maybe it's a good thing because it might signal left leaning people leaving but I think it's more likely they are seeing artificially boosted.

The usernames alone make me suspicious

Yeah it looks formatted doesn’t it - word / hyphen / word / hyphen / number / lmao

Yeah it’s the Reddit default username generator. I always assume that they’re spam

🤦‍♂️

Like to be honest probably pretty safe to assume about half of what happens on the internet is just bots talking to other bots*

*editors note: the author is well aware of the optimism in the idea that only half of internet traffic is bots, but whatever

For all you know, we’re both bots.
