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 don't know man, but I feel like I'm supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.

Yes. The recent exodus of decent people is noticeable.

It definitely felt like land of the shills before I stopped going. Just hundreds of random new accounts posting in every community that went dark.

I don't feel dirty. Just sad for the people still over there. At this point I just log in once a day to vote for protest supporter and see what the status is. Then come back to here and Mastadon.

Some of my favorite subs over have gone full toxic and have completely removed my desire to go there. Just total hatred toward being inconvenienced, which is sad on its own that people are so desperate to be submissive. Not understanding that the only reason the protests failed was because they already decided (and then therefore invested in) the protest failing.

Other subs are still voting overwhelmingly to protest in any way possible. But the amount of gaslighting by shills (possible astroturfing) is wild. Every sub has tons of people saying "nobody cares" despite people voting otherwise.
