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 got temp banned for “report abuse” when I’ve only ever reported anything that clearly broke the sitewide rules. Just assumed it was some kinda mistake. When it happened a 2nd time I decided not to bother anymore. Now I consider my account read-only and if I want to post content I use Lemmy.
After giving the admins (and a bunch of mods) in the ModCoord sub a piece of my mind about the site and what it has turned into, I deleted my ~13 year old account. Nothing against the rules so definitely didn't justify a ban.
Logged in to my NSFW account a few days later to find that account, which I had literally never posted a single comment or post on, was permanently suspended from Reddit as a whole citing "Your accounts are now permanently suspended due to multiple, repeated violations of Reddit's content policy.". Had a look at my deleted account and it has been permanently suspended too, despite no longer existing lol. If I go to the user page of my deleted account it shows the "user is suspended" page, but searching for my username gives no results and if I go to a sub where I know I made a post, the post is there with [deleted] for the username.
So good that not only did they ban my lurking account after I deleted my main, but they also banned my deleted account somehow lol. Definitely didn't rustle an admins jimmies, did I? haha
Same thing happened to me. Admins must have gotten a message to do that or something. First time ever was during the protests.
🙄🙄🙄
Might be worth noting my temp bans were recent too. Also, both times the comments I reported were removed lol. Task failed successfully.
Yup, I've had this one as well. I probably have a 90% hit rate reporting calls for violence, yet apparently that's not precise enough for galaxy brain reddit admins.
