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.

MODERATORS
DAILY MAIL is a shit SHIT source.
But fuck reddit.
It's cool you can call stuff out on here. I tried that on Reddit and got banned. Then called out the mods and got banned from the site for harassment 🤷♂️
Reddit can't die off fast enough. It's clearly past its prime
Reddit is against free speech and their mods get mad if you disagree with them even if you're right.
Worst part was, it was all really civil I thought. Like, "Hey, this sounds like X but it might be Y"
Turns out the dude was a piece of shit, but still... While I consider myself pretty left leaning, I also like to make sure I've got my fingers pointing in the right direction. Call the piece of shit out for cases where they are without a doubt being a piece of shit. Not for areas where there some room for personal interpretation.
But according to some mods, we should just blast people over anything regardless of verifiability. And trying to further explain the dangers of enforcing nonsense like they're doing is apparently considered harassment.
Their approach:
Me: Appalling the ban, stating the nuance of the post.
Mods: "No, don't contact us again."
Me: Huh? But this, though...
Mods: "No, contact us again and we'll report you for harassment"
Me: I'm all for pointing fingers, but this is dangerous...
"We're muting you now, and also reporting you for harassment"
Reddit admins: "How dare you harass the mods with civil conversation! 7 day ban!"
Me: Appealing Reddit ban, stating the only harassment thus far has been from the mods. Show me where I was harassing.
Human admin: Nope, harassment. Ban staying.
Meanwhile, conspiracy, conservative, and canada subreddits continue to exist no prob...
Reddit can't die soon enough. It's clear that the site is compromised big time.
As someone who modded a couple subs in the hundreds of thousands plus range on reddit. Most the decent mods left during the exodus. Those who stayed tended to be the powerhungry types who wanted to push a certain narrative.
Yea, it's obviously time for reddit to die.
