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.

This was from around 3 weeks ago. I pretty religiously (pun intended) blocked and reported ads from the "hegetsus" fundie christian bs group for probably 6-8 months. Naively I thought it actually started making a difference.

Then I just get served an ad from them with a little note that this was "Posted from a blocked account".

"Blocked"... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

It's not just ads. They used to hide posts made by blocked users but they stopped doing that a while ago. Blocking doesn't do anything anymore. There is also a limit to how many accounts you can block, which is easy to reach just by blocking bots.

Another reason why I enjoyed Apollo. Block someone and you never have to see their stupid face again.

Wow didn't know all that. I guess disregard for user preferences runs deep in the reddit corporate cultural dna.

Omg everytime I blocked it, it just showed up even harder. I don't even know why they wanted to spend that money, I'm an atheist
