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.

This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.

Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

Wait a second. Reddit is reaching out to someone currently in jail because he is suspected to have run a human trafficking ring? And they want to work with THIS dude? Jfc.....

Reddit is reaching out to someone currently in jail because he is suspected to have run a human trafficking ring?

"Human trafficking" sounds so much nicer than "rape and enslavement" which is what he's specifically charged with.

Let’s split the diff and go with: human trafficking, rape, and enslavement.

Is that different than human trafficking? Wtf else do humans get trafficked for?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Forced labor is also common.

Largely construction and agriculture

My non legal opinion is trafficking involves moving people around, say from one town to another town or a country to another. While entrapment would be preventing them from leaving where they currently are.

Ostensibly. OP hasn’t provided evidence about their claims

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This isn't a personalized email and it's laid out like a marketing email (600px wide, image header...)

so I doubt this is a 1:1 BDR trying to contact Tate.

[–] PixxlMan 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OP put [email protected] into Reddit's marketing newsletter and claims/thinks routine marketing emails is actual attempted communication by reddit

I love misinformation

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have an email alias similar to an address Tate might use, so my email is on a few marketing lists under his name. I’ve had two actual attempts from Reddit marketing employees to reach out, this is definitely just automated mailing list garbage.

He's everything all the admins, most of the mods, and the only truly welcome users aspire to be.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In jail

House arrest, unfortunately.

More stonks require more clicks, gotta get that engagement, gotta hold people's attention, and nothing quite does that like controversial assholes. All profit-based social media inevitably ends up hooked on rage, imo, as it's the best way to anchor a user's attention and get more ads in front of them.
