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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

May subs use scripts to moderate also which is very lazy. If you want to give warnings that is fine but they shouldn't be used to ban. The worst are the subs that ban based on you leaving a comment in a sub they don't like regardless of context. That should violate reddit rules because it blocks users from participating across the app and violates their access without any warning.
I agree that it's bullshit to ban someone from your group because they are subbed to a group that you don't like. For subs that fear brigading by people that disagree with the intent of their group all they have to do is set up a "FLAIR' policy. You ask the mod for flair. They do a quick check of your history and they allow you access.
In general if you invest just a bit of time on research you will unfortunately find that one political leaning much more than the other bans people simply because they belong to a group that they don't like.
that would never happen on lemmy!

source: I've been banned from communities I have never visited because the mods said I'm a racist bigot.
jokes on them, I hate everyone equally regardless of race or gender. I especially hate malicious liars and ethically challenged mods.
Let's say it's less likely on Lemmy. And group bans seem to last for days instead of forever.
