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.

MODERATORS
I haven't nor plan to... but it's also worst and worst content and behavior so yesterday I request my data take-out.
I'm not sure if I'll just stay logged-out (like right now) or plainly delete my account but either I'm preparing a way out.
Permabanned for saying evil shit about Russians, a few times. Funny thing is how fast they would be on negative comments about Russia.
And BTW, Russians can die in a fucking fire. Lived under threat of nuclear annihilation for my entire childhood, and now the filthy gangsters are fucking with, and have ruined, American politics.
Is there anything that can be done to hold Reddit accountable or make people aware of they way they are censoring speech?
Many people on social media platforms don't realize the spam filters can be abused by attackers to prevent certain topics from being mentioned. And on front-page subreddits they do not publish comments, they look published if you are logged in, but if you check from off-axis they are unpublished. I've been posting some of them here and on Bluesky, but nobody cares (on Bluesky, but people have here) !CensoredByReddit@lemm.ee maybe some tech press will cover it.
Lifetime (of the person) bans on Reddit for individual subreddits and accounts are dumb. That sites been around for decades. I can only image how many people got banned there at age 16 and are completely different people at age 22. I never see people bring this kind of criticism up.

All I can do is extend my sympathies, and tell you that you’re better off in the long run. Most people here don’t like corporate social media because of situations like yours.
Don’t worry about profanity. People swear all the time and don’t mark their posts.
I find it kind of psychologically interesting how many reddifugees self censor, either directly or through obscuring names and events. That site's moderation is seriously screwing people up.
It's so relaxing when you know that you don't have the sword of Damocles hanging over you

The best thing you can do to hold reddit to account would be to become an active lemmy user. You could make a reddit sucks sublemmy and moderate that if you are angry enough to take action.
I love this idea. I think I'm going to do that.
I just got tired of everything being an OCD argument, including once getting yelled at for saying it was a nice day.
One of my accounts banned for “my Lu Ouija board spelled CEO. What’s that mean?”
Or something along those lines.
Haven’t been back since. Timeline is essentially accurate to my baby lemmy face here^
I'm not banned, I deleted everything on there like 3 years ago.
I came here after they banned third party apps. No way I'm browsing with ads on their shitty app. RES still works fortunately but I've grown to really like it here. Haven't touched reddit in a year or so.

I gotta ask, whats the comment exactly my brœther?
Here's the original offending comment that was later restored:
Fuck Radcliffe and all the rest of the un-American fascist bootlickers.
“You can characterize it how you want” Go fuck Musk’s face. Fucking clown.
I have said all kinds of nasty things there about GropenFührer...I mean inmate #P01135809 and other than a few downvotes, nothing. Maybe it's a "no warning" kind of thing?
