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.
One of my accounts was permabanned because a fascist spammer who ran some "anti-fascist" branded political spam subs kept reporting me for harassment when I linked to their own content in other subs, and I got bored of constantly appealing. Also reddit got rid of all their big subreddits and main accounts eventually. They're still on the site 24/7/365 on dozens of alts but they have a small audience now.
They were a semi-known personality on the site and had basically been banned from any sub they claimed to be politically aligned with, for self-promotion, being an asshole, etc. Had dozens of alts permabanned by reddit admins as well. Basically they had alts/personas that catered to different political views, like red pill content, liberal content, anti-fascist content, fascist pro-police content. They'd have alts with bios like "I'm a trans woman!" and "Go Zelenskyy! Slava Ukraine!" for whatever content they wanted to market to or identities they wanted to speak on behalf of. Oh and this was for profit, they had links to shitty self-published books and those websites where you can upload your designs, they sold shitty NFTs and comics. If you went to their book links there'd be 5 star reviews from people who only reviewed their books and suspicious stuff like that. The book's publisher would have books with different pseudonyms of his name, books about how men are only nice to women for sex, next to a book about being liberal, etc. It was like generated spam targeted towards all sorts of trending political topics.
