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.

"Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things," Huffman said. "We are not in the business of giving that away for free."

Typical CEO monetizing the hard work and passion of others. Get fucked, Steve.

I love how this is nowhere to be found on Reddit. Because that blackout really worked

Wow you’re not kidding

I mean, it is partly our fault for heading towards them, what the heck happened with the forums!?

On a second thought, probably not the best solution, the forum that I used to visit often as a kid, rarely for piracy reasons but chatting and whatnot was a Spanish forum called "espalnds", and it got closed because of piracy and I suffered a lot because of it :(

DuckDuckGo, Bing, Mojeek, and other search engines are not returning full Reddit results any more.

and neither does reddit's own search tool

“We are selective about who we work with and trust with large-scale access to Reddit content.”

Sells everyone’s contributions to Google while blocking lesser evils

Doesn't the EU have anything to say about this? Fair competition and whatnot..

Great opportunity for the fediverse to provide better search results

DuckDuckGo and Ecosia soars

I see a lot of people saying something along the lines of "their network; their rules".

With this in mind, it's still shitty that they frame this as a compatibility issue when in reality they just want to track you.

They should be forced to say that they disallowed this private relay thing in order to obtain more info about their customers, because that's significantly more accurate and truthful.

TBH I hated when I got reddit results on DDG because they're blocking access from VPN
