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.
I'm at 12 years. I haven't fully quit Reddit, per se, particularly as there are official support communities there that are nowhere else. But I'm trying to minimize my use and shift toward something, hopefully this, that better represents the open and decentralized approach I want to see. One company dictating exactly how I access my data is a problem for me.
Also 12. I've checked back on my previous posts a few times and I received swathes of downvotes on previously upvoted material, likely because I posted in local liberal communities that got overrun by 4channers that spew hate speech and downvote anyone who promotes collectivism as an ideal.
I'm on the Lemmy liferaft to stay.
I'm hoping this can stick. I'm also experimenting with turning on visibility of vote counts. I find myself too toxically impacted by a stupid number on my posts and comments that I think impacts my sense of self.
