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.

According to an r/modcoord post this subreddit was another one where the admins wholesale removed the current mod team and now they are looking for replacements.

The worst thing about AI so far is that anyone speaking blandly at length with good grammar is going to be suspect. That was my thing!

Don't fucking tell me what to do

Don't you fucking swear in this God damn fucking Christian household! Jesus Christ!

Be not afraid of the AI that passes the Turing test. Fear the one that fails on purpose.

I hope that kills formal writing and instead ushers a new era where we write how we actually talk and think. Bad grammer, spelling errors, cussing and all that bullshit

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The trouble is, I feel like learning to write that way can improve your critical thinking skills. It's just another nicety that distances us from animals that I'd rather not lose.

I would argue that merely striving to be more than that is what elevates us.

You know what, let them eat cake.

Reddit have proven that they're categorically incapable of reading the room numerous times. If a bunch of astroturfing spam bots are gonna take over all the popular subs, Reddit is gonna fall to shit within months.

As much as I loathe the power mods who got purged from Reddit like iBleeedOrange and AwkwardTheTurtle, at least they were competent.

Spez is getting everything he deserves at this point.

One of the nails in the coffin for Digg was that users increasingly felt they didn't have a voice on the site anymore because a few power users had games the system and taken control. The same thing has happened to Reddit, except now those users are able to hide behind bots and AI.

I didn't realize how bad it had become until I came to the Fediverse and saw more fresh content than I had seen on Reddit in years. No more timed reposts of the same memes or top posts, more organic conversations in the comments, meme formats I hadn't seen in years.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

In a way I think this is part of why the old memos resurfaced. The humans were rebelling against the careful curating of contant they were exposed to previously by enjoying things that were organic and illogical.

Reddit is worse than Digg in that respect. Imagine if MrBabyMan and other Digg power users were narcissistic power-tripping assholes with the power to ban people and remove content and you get Reddit.

The beauty of the fediverse is that if you don't like an instance or its admins, you can just make your own instance with blackjack and hookers. Digg and Reddit had no such recourse.

Thank you for putting into words how I've been feeling about Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Their complete inability to read the room is impressive. Like I'm autistic and I've never been this unable. They really have a special skill to self sabotage with that. I'm in awe in the worst possible way.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'd like to help and do a supremely bad job.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

I vote for this dude

[–] fluxion 3 points 1 year ago

Immediate blackout and John Oliver pics for everyone!

[–] Chriszz 3 points 1 year ago

Remove all the valid posts and keep the spam up

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah smells of ChatGPT.

[–] Fer24 10 points 1 year ago

Sweet, spambots with admin powers

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

y'all are missing the context.

The first one was written by ChatGPT, the rest is just actual users trolling ModCodeofConduct
