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
Here's a screenshot so you don't give the site any traffic
That's the most wishy-washy weasel-word corporate PR professional bullshit post I've ever seen
"Here, let's give you more ways to give us feedback that we can then promptly ignore"
Also, I am running out of idea, can you give me some?
"We're gonna have meaningful weekly meetings with all the hundreds or thousands of you, and we're gonna take the opportunity to really listen. Now, this isn't just some platitude to quiet you until we take the company public, but you know, we might suddenly get too busy for these once we're diving into our piles of cash."
"We're gonna compile your input and file it away somewhere safe. Look! I already bought a basket to hold all of them and lined it with a plastic bag! And when my comment can gets reeeeeeaaaallllllly full, I'll file your comments into a larger bin until the city files those comments with the other valuables!"
"We wanna show you how much we care. We care sooooooooo much that we're gonna visit you on our "Fuck you, I Wanna be Rich" vacation! We're gonna see the country and occasionally talk to people in a patronizing tone. For all the shit-holes we don't feel like visiting, we're gonna throw you a pizza party! It's gonna be super revolutionary cuz it'll be a virtual pizza party! Pay for your own food and watch us eat pizza while we explain to you that you're not really upset with us, you're just scared of change and passionate about things that don't make us rich. Remember to dress up nice, we'd hate for you poors to make us look bad."
Nailed it. Virtual pizza party really drives it home.
And we won't really tell you what we're up to as a company either. You'll find out with everyone else when we pull the rug from under you
Good riddance
Yes they problem is we haven't given them enough feedback. Surely if we have them now feedback they would understand the problem. Shutting down the entire website for multiple days was not clear.
