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.

Zero surprise. Most people are living life on autopilot. They will continue to ignore major issues—like politics, climate change, and corporations mistreating people—to our collective long-term detriment. Anecdotally, I have friends who don’t give two fucks about such important things. Instead, they focus almost purely on MMA, reality TV, and stand-up comedy.

I mean, we all have hobbies but damn, pay attention and take a stand on serious issues that affect us all.

That's why I went vegan 4 odd years back. No point posturing about climate change, then not doing the easiest thing to personally combat it.

I admire your tenacity, i haveto ask- do you ever wake up cravingbacon ?real talk

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

Na there's a lot of vegan bacons that manages to hit the spot enough for me. It's the sweets I miss the most, like tan square or lolly cake, hard to find analogues that hit the same notes.

But I've been talking about a purge day for a while where I'll break and eat as much lolly cake as I can. Maybe I'll make myself sick of it.

for goodness sake this is one site policy change not politics andclimate change it's good to care about things but sheesh if you try to connect to everything everywhere you'll end up burning out.

Sure, that’s fair; there’s certainly a balance to be had.
