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
Why you think we are here! I should have made the move much earlier.
They won't, for them it's a leftist lair far worse than Reddit.
Well, it is... that's why I fit right in.
And so do I
They will not join mainstream instances obviously, and we can defederate them.
Why is that obvious?
Well, I hear LW described as "people that want it to be like reddit" so maybe because LW is large and seen as very reddit-like in terms of rules/policy they wouldn't want to join current popular instances.
A hilarious part of this thread was that they convinced themselves that X couldn't possibly be that unpopular and it had to be a bunch of bots posting and upvoting these threads to ban X.
In support of this they said "This post about banning X is the [n]th most popular post ever on /r/LiverpoolFC, even higher than when they won the champions league! It can't be real". They didn't even consider that the post about banning X made it to the top of /r/all where a lot of people who couldn't care less about football/futbol/soccer upvoted it. They couldn't care less about that team, but they also supported banning X, so they upvoted.
context? did i miss reddit drama?
I dunno, the story seems pretty self-contained lol...

Let them come, they may learn something.
Good one
lmao
u/MountainMan88 blocked me after calling his thinly veiled bullshit out over on reddit and was crying about it on r/Conservative.
So much for not needing safe spaces and echo chambers.
I support any efforts to point out who the real snowflakes are. "Waahh I can't be a racist Nazi in public sobs it's just not fair!!1!"
Redshit as usual.
I've been thinking how to avoid running into other seedy characters like those spouting now other foreign propaganda like of China and Russia. I can't imagine I will ever get away from them, but how to minimise it. In the old days I used IRC where communities were very small, or forums where we were all into some niche and we stayed away from that. But now you cannot escape this shit. One possibility I thought is just to avoid big servers like world and keep to more local instances.
They should just make their own Lemmy instance and stop bitching.
They are far too stupid and disorganized to create.
A whole lot of their worldview seems centered on their inability to create or improve things.
It's kind of funny; I remember conservative messaging about personal responsibility. But when they're on the receiving end of that same messaging it's just a personal insult, apparently.
But then they would get defederated and have to face the fact that everybody hates them, and that wouldn't be as fun as doing their hate speech with a big daddy corporation to shield them from the consequences.
PSA: IF THE TROLLS DO MIGRATE HERE, DO NOT FEED THEM. BLOCK AND REPORT IF THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING A PRODUCTIVE, CIVIL CONVERSATION.
I'm not interested in having a civil conversation with fascists either
Unless they come out the gate swinging, please be careful. I don't know about you, but I want to get as many people as possible on board with combating the far right.
Attacking somebody who is legitimately trying to learn will only entrench them deeper in their prior beliefs. It might take a few sentences to find out if they are being genuine, but if you can change their perspective, it is worth it.

I'd love to see a flame war between MAGA conservatives and Hexbear tankies. Horseshoe theory manifest.
Why would they come to lemmy if they're sick of the left? Lemmy is the most left place on the internet

Im bombed by leftist propaganda
They are correct, but not how they think. A big part of conservatism, even among the less fanatical, is to bury your head in the sand. I can see how peeking out for some air will seem like a flood of propaganda. Like that "final experiment" that just went down to dunk on flat earth, but for even the most mundane thing about how society works.

Goodbye conservative, you will not be missed
