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.

I'm not gonna say don't do it, because there are good reasons to do so but do keep in mind that this also hurts users who get linked to older posts from Google etc. and can no longer view what was posted. Fuck Reddit and Spez but keep in mind the downsides of deleting your content.
Well, then maybe Google should fix their search algorithm instead of relying so heavily one site. Or if Google's search results are so heavily invested in reddit, them maybe Google should financially invest in reddit. I'm tired of people blaming users who are deleting their data instead of corporations making shitty decisions.
Google also seems to rely on Amazon for product recommendations. Not that they have a brand name or any one function - more like 10 words listed in hopes of a key word.
Even when I search for the brand in quotations on Amazon I still get pages of sponsored BS. Why must everyone everywhere be so eager to purvey garbage. At least don't enjoy it
Most of the content will be re-created elsewhere over time. The alternative to deletion is allowing Reddit to serve ads and make money off of your answers that were intended to help people.
My 10-year account is fully deleted and gone, including some of my answers to obscure technical questions.
