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.

Gotta love it! I wonder if spez is paying any attention at all. Or better yet if the actual people in charge are.
There's no way they aren't aware of this. But also: what did they expect?
Engagement with the platform to hype up their ipo
Won't help. It's a blip on the radar compared to average daily users. I'll take the bad press any day.
Pretty sure they’re just gambling that this’ll give them a bump in installs/logins with their mobile app that they can use to boost their figures for IPO.
And that's exactly what will happen.
I think they are leaving some of it up so the spez stans can "come to his defence" and this constant back and forth will generate traffic which is what he would use to convince investors to invest.
I think they realize that trying to prevent the “fuck spez” content is futile, and are instead focusing on blocking stuff that tells people about lemmy and other reddit alternatives. That’s much easier to get away with.
