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 have occasionally checked my former favorite sub since leaving - the stats are still the same (~900k users) but the content has gone downhill in a very obvious way. Each time I checked, the sub was filled to the brim with lazy, unfunny shitposts, extremely obvious t-shirt scammers and repost bots, offtopic content, conterfeit merch and sometimes an actually interesting post with like 12 upvotes or so, and you would have to dig quite deep to reach it.
And the sub creator seems to have abandoned it entirely. The description still says that the sub has gone private due to spez' decisions and that you need to use discord instead (the sub has been public again since the initial protest, just the description was never updated) and they haven't touched their own sub in 3+ months.
PS: I just checked again and they have a 2 day old screenshot of a dead frog with 2k upvotes as the current top post.
Wow, I don't like reddit anymore, but that sounds sad. I still remember good times there a few years back. ๐
