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 guess your wife is also using Windows and a web browser without ad blocker. People get used to having ads and messages thrown in their face constantly.

But once you try Lemmy, you see how nice things can be.

It's funny how if you browse lemmy, you might be under the impression that Linux is some huge portion of the market share of OS's.

You know, rather than the reality which is less than 3% of users due to most people just wanting an OS that works without having to have a CS degree.

Since when do you need CS degree to use Linux? Oh that's right, you don't. You just have to actually give a shit about what you personally want, and not what big corporations want you to think.

Cool, you won't convince anyone like that.

[–] linearchaos 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There's no need to convince anyone. Anyone who wants to be there is there.

If you have to convince them to come in then you end up getting stuck with supporting them.

It's like the Reddit to Lemmy conversion. If people are going to consider the unknown and impassable barrier entry, they're probably better off where they were at.

I get it, but then the other dude is just being an asshole, belittling people that find hard the transition.

Either they suck at presenting a good argument about their platform or they are just an asshole that belittles other who find it hard to use their platform. I prefer to think the first one although I know that chances of the second are higher.
