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:
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.

"What the users want" my ass. Reddit doesn't give 2 shits about what the users want.
I'll repeat what I've been communicating to some friends that are also mods: don't bother with half measures, "the community voted for a joke with John Oliver!" or "technically we are not violating the ToS!" - Reddit doesn't care, this isn't a court battle, they can and will change whatever rule they want.
There's no point in fighting this fight. It's a massive pain to let go of a large community you helped build, but take the little time you still have in control to migrate to Lemmy and don't look back. Link your users here, teach them how to use Lemmy. If doing so means in 48 hours they lock your account, guess what, they would lock your account regardless, "malicious compliance" is fun but isn't a true solution. There's no solution at this point.
@kadu It's not pointless at all. Really it's a warning to whoever wants to start a community. If you do something reddit doesn't like, be prepared to lose what you built, even if following the rules
