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.

MODERATORS
What's not perfectly understandable is why they allow BS subs like FreeKarma4U that defeat the entire point of this system.
Nope. It only happens when you have negative karma. That means any opinion contrary to the group think will be silenced.
Well it's not that bad, tho why? why would this be restricted?
Is it to reduce spam with "low" quality content which doesn't make people stay longer?
Whenever a spammer or spam bot is identified through reporting and gets banned, the spammer just makes a new account and continues. As a result spam accounts tend to be “young” accounts with low karma.
But limiting the posting and commenting powers of all young accounts and accounts with low karma, they limit how quickly someone can spam Reddit. There’s also less obvious limits to like limiting activities from the same ip addresses. (To prevent working around the limits by simply creating 100s of accounts at a time)
