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.

Opinion is irrelevant against facts: they are trying to expell the palestinian population from Gaza

This is not accurate, as easily understood by how poorly they would be accomplishing this objective, were it true. They have absolute military superiority and it would be easy for them to achieve that goal.

they even said it out loud two days ago.

This is not accurate. Some random guy that works for the government, saying something which may or may not translate accurately (see the thread here on lemmy for that discussion), is not significant. MTG, a sitting US Representative, talking about Jewish Space Lasers is also not significant, for similar reasons.

These misconceptions, even if they were true, do not excuse supporting Hamas.

So two ministers of the actual israelian governement are now "two random dudes".

These misconceptions indeed do not excuse supporting Hamas, which is why I said demanding a ceasefire and an investigation into a potential genocide and denouncing Hamas' terrorist acts aren't exclusive positions.

Yes, just like MYG, a literal representative, is not indicative of US policy.
