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.

The JillStein Bot explaining why Joe Biden shouldn't be allowed to be the next president, really not updating their talking points

[–] JustZ 10 points 1 month ago

No, they're just super efficient and very good at planning. They know that Joe Biden can technically still be president for another term, so they're heading him off on his 2028 comeback run. /s

Ps hello fellow lawyer.

This is the first real meal I had in years.

Said someone who lives off popcorn! 🍿

I'm not judging you though. I used to love this sort of drama. (I still do, a bit.)

Didn't the staff behind AMA leave during the APPocalypse shit? I remember seeing something about how they've basically stopped vetting people to verify they are who they claim to be for these and I'm wondering how full of bots and trolls that sub is now.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

If by staff you mean "volunteers", then yes. The actual Reddit staff that helped facilitate AMAs disappeared during the Ellen Pao drama.

Wow, I only briefly perused and that was a bloodbath. Hard to imagine how she might have imagined that going any better.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 11 points 1 month ago

You'll notice politicians largely stopped doing AMAs back in 2016 when /r/The_Donald completely swamped the system. Given the degree to which Reddit is a system by and for bot-farms, Jill was sticking her foot squarely into a bear trap just by setting this up.

I feel like this isn’t the first disastrous ama she’s done on there. I searched for 2 minutes and didn’t find anything though

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Someone linked her 2016 post claiming WiFi causes cancer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That is absolutely ridiculous and also absolutely on brand for her.
