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.

MODERATORS
 

I was recently banned from the subreddit, r/Robinhood for making a comment about Robinhood's shady practices. I quoted their own rule, "Don't be you", calling them hypocrites, and received a 7 day ban from Reddit the following day.

How can we draw attention to Reddit supporting a subreddit whose very rules promote and protect intolerance and harassment?

I encourage you to message Reddit directly and report this community.

A blatantly criminal company run by questionable fuckers surprises everyone by creating the most sus moderating rules imaginable.

[–] venusaur 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I’m just shocked that either nobody has brought it to the attention of Reddit, or Reddit doesn’t care despite violating their own rules and especially this recent IPO.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are you actually shocked that a newly IPO'ed company (run by a known sex pest) doesn't want to pick a fight with an openly crooked brokerage?

[–] venusaur 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It just seems like an ember waiting for a fire that should concern investors. Wouldn’t be surprised if owners just want to cash in, sell the company and let the new owners deal with the fires.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Anybody who currently sizing up a controlling share of Reddit is not doing so with an eye toward its splendid fundamentals as a business, or even its power as a brand. It's all about that juicy training data and the chance to manufacture consent at a massive scale.

The users were always the product, and now they're not even the main attraction.

[–] kamenlady 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Exactly, the users are still the product, but invisible. All posts, comments, everything they ( also me for 10+ years ) wrote is now reddit's product. That's the whole package they have, nothing else.

A snapshot of 2 decades worth of drama, sex, lots of sex, science, technology, more drama, music, literature, shitposts, omg the amount of shitposts...

That's unbound content, take away the usernames and feed the AI with Reddit-Lore.

In a few years, whatever kind of AI avatar we'll have as our daily assistant, will be breaking both arms of innocent boys, convince poor fellows to visit jolly ranch and greet us sayin': oh shit wadupp?

[–] venusaur 1 points 8 months ago

Of course but you know what bad press does to stock prices.

[–] DocMcStuffin 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

They don't care unless it embarrasses them. They did nothing about /r/jailbait until it got news attention, and similar things have happened over and over again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

they didn't do much even for the api incident getting news coverage.

So, you went to a subreddit dedicated to information about a specific website, and insulted everyone who uses that website.

What were you expecting? For the whole sub to stand up and applaud, and cancel their Robinhood accounts?

I'm not saying your statement is wrong, but your comment was toxic and unnecessary.

[–] venusaur 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

You must have missed the details in my post. My issue with Reddit is not the ban from the sub. Totally expected when I “kicked the hornet nest.”

My issue is that Reddit as a whole banned me for allegedly violating a rule that is being clearly violated within the rules of a subreddit. The hypocrisy is the issue.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Local man plays in traffic, gets hit by car.

Sorry, I guess I'm victim blaming, but get the fuck off that site, and use a real legit stock trading utility while you're at it

Maybe don't hang out on a toxic website.

[–] venusaur 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Haha thanks. “I was today years old” when I found out about Lemmy.World

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Welcome to Lemmy, glad you're here. :)

[–] venusaur 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! I’m excited that there’s finally a decent alternative to Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

there's been for quite a few months now

Welcome! Lemmy isn't perfect, but it's far, far less toxic, in my opinion...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, it's beyond redemption in my opinion. Every decision they've made in the past few years has been horrible and anti-user...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

RobintheHood is pure fraud

[–] venusaur 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I’m sad that anybody is foolish enough to trust them with their money

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Same. When the CEO & CFO sell all their shares in the company they run, it’s a pretty solid tell.

[–] yuriy 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Welcome to lemmy by the way!

[–] venusaur 3 points 8 months ago

Thanks! Glad to be here.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (5 children)

I called them out, with proof- that they use autism as a derogatory to the admins.

Got banned.

Out of the loop - what's wrong with Robinhood?

[–] venusaur 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] Contramuffin 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I see... Do you happen to know of any better alternatives for investing?

[–] venusaur 7 points 8 months ago

I like Fidelity

[–] IsThisAnAI 2 points 8 months ago (8 children)

Jesus Christ, leave the site. You are like a crazy Mormon.

[–] douglasg14b 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Why are you so surprised that people are using Reddit and talk about Reddit on the literally /c/reddit

Imagine going to /c/StarTrek and telling people to stop watching Star Trek as they talk about it.

GTFO with that crap.
