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:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

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.

It's time for communities to take back ownership and control says company that just took away ownership and control from communities.
This was the most baffling statement. They literally just took control of some subreddits weeks ago. Do they really lack any self awareness?
They have full self awareness. They know they're lying out the ass. They're lying and laughing at users as they write this doublespeak because they know that the userbase that stayed through the last fiasco will stay through any fiasco. This is their way of publicly shitting on their userbase. They're making the power structure perfectly clear to anyone smart enough to actually think about it. They're saying "We're in charge. We don't owe you anything, not even honesty. We own this platform. We will lie to your face and you'll pay us for it. We know you'll never leave, so we think it's funny to abuse you."
At least I can take comfort knowing that reddit has never turned a profit. They are getting desperate.
