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.

Just opened RiF for the first time in weeks and r/interestingasfuck wouldn't even load but I saw a post about the KKK pulling guns at an lgbt rally in Corbin.

Ha. The one thing spez didn't count on. Users actually just breaking the site. He will have so much money tied up in devs fixing all the vulnerabilities as they are revealed that he'll wish he'd just left shit alone.

They never went away. They just hid when it was clear society would not tolerate them and now are out in full force due to all the right wing government support.

I have lgbt friends in corbin/barbourville :( It's awful. I'm glad I moved out of Kentucky, even if it was to West Virginia. At least I moved into a gay friendly-ish town for work. I absolutely love the Appalachia area, but I fucking hate the people and politics here. :(

American hate group

Ku Klux Klan

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They are an American terrorist organization that is responsible for over 6,500 African American deaths historically. They finally lost power after the government stepped in to stop them back in the 1960s to 1970s. They still maintain a presence in some places in the USA. Just a few years back I saw recruitment flyers for them in a town I was in.

Kaucasian Kulture Klub

Mind if I ask where you live, purely out of curiosity? As an American not knowing about the KKK is quite surprising, but I suppose I don't know most foreign hate groups.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You seriously don't know? Trust me, ignorance is bliss in this case. They're racists who dress up as not-so-friendly ghosts and terrorize anyone who isn't like them. One of those unfortunate side effects of the American Civil War.

I really hope you're not from the US
