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:
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.
Reddit improved their anti-ban evasion system, cuz it's the sixth or more failed attempt at evading a permanent ban. Never more, I am staying here.
FUCK YOU, SPEZ!
Ugh. So much to unpack here.
First off, you have to act like a massive shit-loaf to get perma'ed from Reddit in the first place. Now you're declaring your love for this community because you can't get back into Reddit.
Welcome, I guess.
Right. More often than not when these posts pop up you can check their comment history and see exactly why they keep getting banned.
First off, you have to act like a massive shit-loaf to get perma’ed from Reddit in the first place.
In a lot of cases, yes. Not in all of them, due to bot-based bans.
It'd be a real shame if fascists were abusing the harassment report on anyone that disagrees with them.
I got permabanned arguing with right wing trolls. I don't think I was too bad, but maybe?
Who can say, right? The gears of Reddit are inscrutable.
That said, when you engage with an extremist, there's always 20 other extremists looking at your replies and just waiting to report you if you say the slightest mean thing. They are mucilaginous troglodytes and one mustn't extend to them the credence that they're dealing in good faith.

I had an account perma'd there for saying "the only good nazi is a dead nazi" which I accept was against TOS but would argue does not make me a "massive shit-loaf"
I got perma banned for saying the mods ban people too easy and they need to rethink their criteria for ban Guess I'm a "massive shit-loaf" with you too

Untrue
Yep I got permabanned for saying I'd lick the sweat out of a fat chick's folds for €20
Maybe the price was too high, I dunno
It’s actually not too hard to get perma’d due to a handful of bullshit/nonsensical bans that just stack up over time. Also, they were VERY liberal with the permaban hammer around when they announced the API lockdown.
I got permabanned on Reddit (it got turned around because even the mods of the subreddit and of other subreddits said it was bullshit) for making a joke about wishing Indiana's attorney general got punched in the face because he said something about something being a punch in the face. Like they banned me for jokingly wishing what he said happened to him metaphorically would just happen to him. Not saying someone should do it, certainly not saying I would do it, just wishing that it would happen. Permaban from all of Reddit for a joke that didn't actually call for violence and was clearly just referencing the post's headline.
which niche porn communities are you looking for
Many niche subs, have been forcibly removed during the protest era.
lmao, nothing, just some more obscure games
Right but which porn games
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (Zomboid like game, but 10x harder) and MechTech
The obscure videogame subreddits are what I miss the most. Made one here on lemmy for a game I love and only one other person has commented since July.
Please don't bring that attitude to lemmy. I just want peace. I honestly don't know what you did but chances are its not going to be welcome here
Am I the only one who wants it to stay exactly like it is?
Maybe a weird take coming from a recent redditfugee butnbint feels perfect as is. Like reddit read before all the enshittifcation like 8 years ago.
I finally overwrote all my comments and deleted my account. 16 years there, but as soon as I checked the front page this week before deleting, every comment and post was the same old "this" and "take my upvote" and vitriolic hate toward different or uncommon opinions, zero dialogue, such a mess
Thanks lemmings
You forgot "and my axe", "to shreds you say" and "I wish they didn't remove awards so I could give you one", or maybe even the 'rare' "take my angry upvote and leave"?
Yeah I like that we can actually hold real conversations here, as far as 'real' goes of course.
Yup. It feels like I am usually talking to individuals here, which is much more enjoyable than flailing in an overwhelming monoculture.
I also choose to beat this mans dead horse
"I wish they didn’t remove awards so I could give you one"
That's a new one to me! Because they still had awards the last time I used it.
Hold my updoot, I'm going in
I evaded my lifetime ban for more than 5 years on my new main.
The hell are you posting there?!
Yeah these posts by people who consistently get banned always have me feeling a little skeptical (no shade on OP if legit).
Got banned for harassing mods because I was asking why I got banned automatically for participating in a different subreddit. As soon as I sent my second request asking why I was banned, I got permabanned.
Start your niche community on lemmy then advertise it in some other groups. You might be surprised how much better it is here.
I'm in the process of deleting my posts in a few accounts in preparation to delete them.
Reddit isn't the same place it was when I first signed up. On so many levels it proceeded to get worse year after year. Shitty mods, paid political bot brigading to drown out discussion, general discourse devolution, innovation decline of generally loved features are some of my biggest complaints of that platform.
Don't get me wrong reddit was always a bit of anarchy, but the best comments somehow managed to rise up. Not so much anymore. Maybe I'm just getting old and some of the comment contents don't interest me in the same way it used to.
I don't mind being part of this community even though some of the sub's have less activity. The activity seems to be of a better quality for the most part imho.
For me I don't miss reddit at all.
I still have a bunch of accounts but it's actually not a friendly site to use. I remember telling friends about it back in the day and they'd try and use the site, then they'd come back and be like "everyone on that site is an asshole." I'd explain it in some dumb way but it's basically true in essence. I even modded some default subs like 10 years ago and it was the first time I started hating the site.
Even hobby subs had these issues. Like the top post in r/synthesizers would be about some youtube personality and people debating about drama. People who post actual music and productive things don't get upvoted. Saying you liked the "wrong" people got you made fun of. Super trend/hype based as well. I posted asking for advice for a product to buy once, and was heavily discouraged from getting what I thought was the right thing, I got it anyway, and now it's basically a meme as the top recommended product for that purpose on that sub.
Basically moved to forums and discord servers for a lot of interests and it's so much better than reddit. Early 2010s was the golden age for the site back when there'd be those reddit meetups and stuff.
They literally banned me for "abusing the report feature" like I'm sorry are you asking me NOT to report heinous bigotry?? Fuck reddit and fuck spez
Maybe they wouldn't have problem with ban evasion if they weren't giving out bans the drop of a hat
r/fuckyouinparticular did their ban some random person for 3 days to me even though I don't even use my reddit account anymore and just let it sit there taking space on reddots servers
