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.

You’ve been done better then the big subs, who gave in. Thanks for the effort and welcome to the better place

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.

I think putting quotation marks around the title copied from the toot would help

[–] robmexx 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never mind. Maybe he’ll read it, maybe not. He did the right thing imo and all i wanted is giving back. Thank you for informing me about the topic and my misinterpretation.

I wrote him on mastodon too now. Hope it’s at least a bit uplifting to get a bit of support

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

The way your post is posted makes it seem like it's you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure OP is the same person from the mastodon post?

[–] robmexx 8 points 1 year ago

I learned he’s not but I’m a simple person, lol. Adding 1 & 1 takes a bit sometimes. Thanks for letting me know.

[–] mojofrododojo 73 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup. Today I was banned from a 48k subscriber subreddit I'd modded for over a decade.

There's no protest allowed on Spezzit. Glad I've moved on. Proud of the replies from the users in the thread seeking volunteers, they're like 'fuck this bullshit let it die'

spez has lost the last of his marbles.

You fought the good fight as long as you could.

What's reddit?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just accept that Reddit has brain worms and move here , this is a better solution because nobody can possibly own the entire network.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=soL8JK6kALc&

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

It's fascinating that reddit is still continuing it's crusade against moderators after their attempts to find new moderators are so extremely successful. You'd think you can only shoot yourself in the foot so often.

I don't think they're on lemmy

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Federation means mastadon messages end up here on Lemmy, and vice versa. So technically... It's welcome to Lemmy in a way...:)

[–] rifugee 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe instead of "Welcome to Lemmy", we should say "Welcome to the Fediverse"?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Messages from Mastodon can be federated to lemmy instances. But this isn't the case here.

One fish, two fish.

Reddit.

Blew it.

[–] mojofrododojo 2 points 1 year ago

spezzit's busy hatefucking the only good thing he's ever touched.

[–] KrisND 10 points 1 year ago

It's great how they haven't updated the about yet. Great work!

Kinda off topic, but there are a lot of replies on mastodon.social that aren't showing on lemmy.

Why? Isn't federation supposed to consolidate these discussions?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This was a cross post rather than a direct post to the community so it acts the same as if its posted on two different communities here like a lemmy cross post (with different threads based on the community the post is on)

If someone on mastodon commented on this version of the thread their comment would show up here

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is just a link to the post on Mastodon.social, to appear here, OP would’ve had to tag the community on the same mastodon post.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

F (you know, to pay respects).

[–] LakesLem 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Honestly, good.

Rather than holding the community over on Reddit hostage, let people be there and discuss things there if they want to. It's up to the individual whether or not to protest. Make Lemmy a better place to be than Reddit (probably not difficult if moderation over there goes to shit and everywhere gets filled with spam and trolls) and the users will come without the need to be all authoritarian about it. It's very frustrating for innocent users who are less into the politics just looking for some old bit of info and running into private communities everwhere

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 2 points 1 year ago

I'm surprised anyone is still there. Come to Lemmy. It's nice here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get it and thank you β€” not sure you’re going to win any friends here copy pasting to every magazine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Next time something protest worthy happens, mods should advertise Lemmy on their subs. That will shake things up!
