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'm sick and tired of this Canadian stereotype about apologizing. Fuck off, how about.

r/Conservative is particularly interesting right now. Moderation can't keep up with the rate that they've been attacking each other for not being 'true' conservatives (and these are flaired users: the regulars who have been vetted by the mods). It's like a litmus test for MAGA's cohesion

The amount of Russian bots, around half of the comments on the sub are

Definitely. Quite a few are obvious, most are not so obvious because MAGATs sound like broken records anyway; but some are very clearly humans, die hard MAGATs, who are feeling betrayed right now by Trump's antics and the state of the country. Never thought I'd see the day.

Either that, or everyone is a bot and nothing is real anymore (also likely?)

What is the T in MAGAT? Trumpist?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

The T doesn’t stand for anything. The word is pronounced similarly to maggot, so MAGAT draws a connection between MAGA and maggots. It would just look weird to leave the T lowercase in MAGAt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Eh, I kind of disagree. If the whole word isn't an acronym, then the formatting of letters matters. MAGAts is fine.

lol

You read this post and start to wonder maybe their best censorship is the self censorship that comes from having to read the awful content.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Like those subs trying to look like both sides, like true unpopularopinion, newnormal,,etc

Wasn't Yosoff on Lemmy for awhile after the API ditch?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

If he was, can't imagine why he left. Id also suspect they never did.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He probably felt Lemmy was too liberal.

Although as Stephen Colbert pointed out: reality has a liberal bias.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

liberal

You are the 3rd person to use this word on this page. Each one with a completely different meaning. From "heavily Conservative (US style conservative)" to "lightly socialist".

And yet, nobody used it with a "person that don't want to stop other people doing things that don't impact them" meaning.
