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:
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.
I put "Reddit employee" in quotation marks because they're giving the vibe that they're praising that website so much.
I’ve found lemmy to be one of the more civil places to go online anymore. I don’t know what this guy is bitching about.
It's as polite as early 2010's reddit was. Some assholes but that's just GIFT we fell from the garden of Eden in September '93 what can ya do. But not the turbo acceleration nasty of torment nexus corpotrash
He probably did join a community/instance that are more "on the mean side". I just hope Lemmy being one of the more civil social media out there lasts long lol.
Photons. If it gets popular enough the established platforms will sabotage it. Just enjoy it while you can.
Framing them as an employee is bad faith. And misleading.
I dunno how this is real. I keep getting shadowbanned on Reddit (when I literally just post technical/fandom comments in 2 niche subs), and I think it’s whenever I link Lemmy.
Man that is strange indeed, kinda like they have a hidden agenda against Lemmy it seems.
Yeah, I mean someone inside Reddit is watching and aware of Lemmy. Like how someone inside Twitter is paid to break Nitter to some extent.
Lol I dunno if you're messing with me at this point if this legit happens like what you say about twitter or not but either way I agree with your statement.
Oh, some Twitter API/website changes were clearly designed to bungle rehosters like Nitter, like a cat and mouse game, hence (for a while, last I checked) the Nitter repo shut down and the closed source modifications worked.
I dunno about Reddit banning Lemmy specifically, there's no smoking gun there, but it sure feels like it to me.
Yeah I can imagine Reddit banning and/or controlling outside communities if they feel like they're "threatened" I know that's not the right word but that's the first thing that came to mind if that makes sense 😅
It’s the internet. Some people are helpful and some people are dicks. It’s just the way it is.
Clearly not for this guy, thinks that Lemmy is the only one out there that is toxic in their opinion 😂
what a poopy dumdum
Man, I could go for some poppadoms right about now
As usual reddit is a day late and a dollar short.
Lmao I know right?
I think the assessment is correct: if not a reddit agent, they are certainly working to advance that platform's distrust of Lemmy.
He's a gosh darned poopy head is what he is
I'm starting to sound like a broken record but it doesn't make any sense! Don't the guy know that it's like that everywhere else (twitter especially), why did they target Lemmy of all things? It sus overall.
It’s really dependent on your instance as well. Lemmy is not homogenous.
I do imagine the comments listed on a YouTube video about gardening have to be different than those in a video about the Philadelphia Eagles. But that's just because it's the city of brotherly love, and those gardeners are fucking vicious.
Meanwhile in a post far far away...
Welcome to the online world, kid.
Also, I’m pretty sure lemme skews much older than 12. It's 40+ year olds calling you names.
The only real problem with lemme is that it's not big enough to replace most niche communities on larger platforms. If I have a specific question about a hobby, video game, or whatever, I’m not using lemme. I hope to someday.
It's 40+ year olds calling you names.
That always makes it a bit worse. When I see ignorant comments on other sites, I usually tell myself it might be made by an edgy teenager. Can't do that on Lemmy. That's a grown adult praising North Korea...
I mean, North Korea itself is literally run by grown adults.
What's the bet they're actually just stepping out of an echo chamber for the first time and can't hack being told their opinions are shit
I mean, depending on which instance they joined they could've just as easily stepped into an even smaller echo chamber. Lemmy as a concept isn't magically free from them.
Ok, I’m gonna be real with you for a moment. You guys are some of the most wholesome, respectful and emotionally intelligent people I have ever seen online.
Yes, every now and then someone writes something edgy. I am not calling anyone in particular out. I am guilty of this too (as you are about to see in a moment).
But calling users here “12 yr old keyboard warriors” while being on Reddit is probably the dumbest take I have ever witnessed. Which says a lot if you consider we are talking about the website that came up with the CumBox.
In the 5-ish years I was on Reddit I got death threats on a regular basis. I got tagged for the suicide bot multiple times a year. I had some very normal Reddit user send me rape threats followed by animal porn.
And Reddit did nothing.
Meanwhile our admins actually do shit that makes this site better instead of just sucking each other off, crying it’s not the real greedy pig boy they’re orally pleasing.
What I am trying to say is: This is obviously rage bait and I fell for it. Which is soooooooo Reddit and it triggers me that it did so all across the internet.
It's all the modern convenience we've come to love with the social environment of 15 years ago when using the internet felt fun
Fuck you, get fucked you fucking piece of shit!
Just kidding. I love you folks. Cheers.
Well, since it's grown ass adults make insults and threats.
Can I have some of those infamous rape threats? 👉 👈
No animal porn please.
That suicide bot still being active when it became primarily a tool for harassment is so so stupid.
Aren't you making the poster's point for him? You just made a whole new post to call him a "Reddit Employee" because you didn't believe he had the experience he wrote he had.
Lots of name calling
12 year old keyboard warriors
Somebody misplaced their mirror
OP made a follow up post:
Almost a week here in lemmy and I still don't know how instances work?
But they haven't commented here or there even once.
That's not my experience. Did they go to a right-wing or ML instance?
That makes sense actually, this is a reddit employee, after all.
Sounds like maybe they chose Hexbear as their instance. I haven't seen nearly that much toxicity on Lemmy, except from hexbear users (before defederation).
I actually find myself having to shed the vitoral of years on reddit over here. Everytime I comment I assume I'll get some horrible response, but then it's helpful... Clearly got some trauma from reddit 😞
Overall Lemmy has been a nicer experience than reddit
Same. But I just got a shit ass response for not supporting murder drones invading our schools
