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.

Am I the only one who thinks place is lame? It’s just another Reddit circle jerk and everyone is falling for it hook line and sinker. Shit like this reminds me why the human population is mentally deficient and why politicians have such an easy time controlling us.
I finally kinda see it, but hate the tone it was said with "heres a game to keep you distracted"

Call a bondulance, you're having a stronk.
There's a very old saying that I think was attributed to a Roman leader which went something like "Games and bread", humans have been easy to swat for a very long time.
Bread and circuses
English is closer to the original expression. In German, we say "Brot und Spiele" (lit. bread and games), hence the poster wrote it that way.
Shall we fiddle now, or fiddle later? Either way, there shall be fiddling!
Juvenal, a poet in ancient Rome. He wrote a whole series of books with satirical social commentary. A spiritual predecessor of George Carlin, so to speak.
