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.

IDK man, I want to understand them but I can't.

Just looked at some of those accounts and they're less than 2 years old. My guess is, they never used anything other than the official app so to them, nothing will change. Honestly, let reddit keep those users. I'd rather have a conversation with someone who doesn't have the attention span of a TikTok user.

Lol, in this kinds of threads there is always the bitter milennial, that can bare that times change.

because surprise! those kind of users are here as well! (like me :0 )

Like just because someone is not an elder person will be in favour of corporate fuckery?

Look I am one, but think it is bitter millennials that joined Reddit ten years ago and want old Reddit and working apps. The new new generation are used to new Reddit and corporate millennials are elders now.

I think that it would vary by other demographics, too. I don't personally know any other people around my age (Older Gen Z) who still use reddit, especially after all of this went down. I understand that my personal experience is only one out of billions, so I'm also not necessarily saying that you're wrong about that either.

I don't know, I guess I just wanted to reassure you that not all of the new new generation is following reddit blindly. Many of us are strongly protesting over the principal of how reddit treats their mods and users. Many posters don't feel the need to include their ages, so I'm not sure we can get a fully accurate read on the age groups just yet.

Nothing is too big to fail.

I'm a Gen Z, cheers

I know, it still is sad, the news about Sync for Reddit coming to Lemmy (Sync for Lemmy) helps with the saddens though.

Omg me too. I know they are just human, and are susceptible to the same crap logic I am, but I can't put myself there. My only thought, is that they just don't know. The more you know, the harder you have to work, to maintain some kind of engagement in your life to feed the monster you created in your head. These people are fine floating, and tbh, I envy them AND pity them simultaneously.
