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.

Any traffic on Reddit or engagement with anything they’re doing is bad. Quit visiting r/place. All you’re doing is padding numbers for their IPO stats.
I think that getting "fuck u/spez" and ads for the competition all over it is a big win, personally. They are getting a bunch of negative press from this.
Kinda true but we also know that advertisers can be very picky about having their content displayed next to sensitive content or even profanity. So seeing a guillotine and fuck spez written all over Place on Day 1 was pretty cool
This is stupid to me. You really think advertisers look only at the stats and not the content? Having been part of trans who had to decide “who to spend our money on” - the content matters A LOT
An investment firm executive makes it their business to know everything there is to know about negative press (or anything else that could jeopardize their management of an IPO), which this campaign is generating huge amounts of...
There's no such thing as bad press. All negative press means is that people are talking about it and that's engagement.
You want to give Reddit bad press? Stop posting links to Lemmy. Start posting links to fetish porn.
There are people doing that sorta stuff too if you wanna join them. Some QR codes up there.
What press are we talking about? For shareholders, it's all about people engaging with Reddit so they can use machine learning to target ads to people. r/place is an experiment in how to encourage that engagement to make more money for shareholders.
The best way to influence the IPO is not to engage.
It’s a more modern type of marketing that could be considered controversial marketing. Gets people talking, and it works unfortunately.
Here I am engaging with you because of it.
Now if you could set up a huge bot-net and make the whole thing an obscene picture it will make impact. But I doubt that’s legal and all so don’t do that. Staying off seems to work for me, but I need some filter to remove that site from links here. It’s not very interesting for me to know what happens there. If it was I’d be there
There is no point in trying,You can't argue with morons. Just let the think they won and maybe they will just go back to reddit.
