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.

reddit helped me by banning me for the third time.
Please don't bring that altitude to Lemmy. Be nice to other people and don't break the rules.
In my experience the people getting banned from Reddit are the ones insulting others and breaking rules
Huh? These days you can get banned for saying just about anything. I got banned from r/justiceserved the other day for commenting something slightly pro Palestine. Fucked up thing is that I posted that comment in a completely different sub.
Posting an opinion on a political hot potato like Israel-Palestine is just asking to get banned by someone. Because there's religion inextricably tied up in it, it's one of those things that short circuits rational thought in a certain sort of person.
And that should be obvious. People who say things like "fuck Israel" (fr tho, fuck the Israeli regime, but also fuck Hamas) shouldn't be surprised if some backwards dipshit - or a corporation that relies on backwards dipshits for revenue - goes nuclear on them.
It’s really difficult to believe these anecdotes. Even if they are true.
What about my anecdote seems like a lie? And why the hell would I make up such a pedestrian story?
Nothing. It wasn’t personal. Just about people making claims about bans broadly.
I’ve become desensitized to people complaining about bans. Leaving out context, having a bias, or any number of things that involves the whole story not being laid out. Including the moderation pressures the space they were banned from is under.
But yeah, nothing specific about yours. Just sentiment about people complaining about being banned in general.
I don't know. However, I have noticed a increase of hate and rudeness on lemmy and I don't like it. I think I'm part of the problem.
