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.

Recap? Like Facebook?

JFC there was a time reddit would burn the fuck to the ground if devs even proposed such an idea.

That was a good 10+ years ago. Ever since the redesign, the default Reddit experience kept getting more mainstream. Many of us were able to avoid it by using old.reddit and 3rd party mobile apps, but the apiocalypse ended that for most users. Hence, why a good many users joined Lemmy about 6 months ago.

TL:DR- The enshitification of Reddit was a gradual thing that finally reached a tipping point for many here last June.

I find it cute you're explaining reddit to me like I wasn't on it for more than a decade and came to Lemmy in the June exodus lol.

Yeah, I was like who's that explanation for? Are there people here that weren't on reddit a year ago?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I like to see the longterm perspective, something that wasn't always apparent with my daily use and staying on old.reddit

I know, right? That place is definitely not what it used to be. These days it’s a gentrified Disneyland with far shittier mods and admins.

I remember people commenting on other people's avatars and I was like, wtf are you people talking about?

I miss RIF.
