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:
Rule 1- No brigading.

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 think it looks really good as the first thing you see when you click my profile, what do you think?
I love how spineless people just assume everyone else is as equally unprincipled
I just want to have some slight interaction with people on my wavelength. I don't care of it's here or a BBS or Usenet or Myspace.
Bring back Friendster!
I miss Livejournal so much.
Been a few years since I looked back over my old livejournal, always funny to see just how different of a person I was 20 years ago.
isn't it? I miss it so much. I still have all my friends from 22 years ago when LJ began, and your LJ friends know you in ways nobody else ever will. It was the absolute best platform and nothing has ever come close to being that beautiful a moment in social media. Damn Russians.
I just want to relive the MSN days.
“You’ve got mail!”
I use Aol. mail. They still use that sound, although there are also another versions of "You've got mail!".
"CoolGuy75😛 has just sent you a Nudge!"
Exactly what I’m looking for too. It does not need to be be on the site or system with the biggest user count.
I think it’s also that a scary number of people seem to lack any empathy. So they literally can’t put themselves in anybody else’s shoes for even a moment.
Fuck you I got mine!
That is an amazing way to move you over, and I fully fully support the slight underhand of it all.
It makes moving the default option for those using the app. Not bad.
That's exactly what they are saying with that comment and that's sad as fuck
A job I used to work at a long time had an enlightening moment for me when I had put my 2 weeks in.
There were two camps of people: those that were happy for me - "wow, awesome, tell me about the new place" And those that were cynical - "you will end up back here anyway"
I found that the people who behaved cynically truly do end up filtering back in and the people willing to see that other options exist and can even be better end up moving on.
It's almost as if your attitude and outlook determine your actions.
Like, I get it. Some people were dealt a bad hand, and they have a shitty life through no fault of their own. But there's a huge difference between "Shit sucks" and "Shit sucks and cannot possibly ever change." If you believe that everybody who has a shitty job is doomed to be stuck with that shitty job for the rest of their life, then you're delusional. Your beliefs do not align with reality.
Yep, it's impressive that so many people still have trust in reddit, and also funny that the next comment was removed by Reddit, probably someone saying something about lemmy I would imagine
pretty sure OP just commented [removed by reddit]
Maybe, don't remember how to looks when a comment is removed by Reddit ¯_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Honestly I'm not as principled as some people but I noticed that I drastically reduced my presence there and it's going down. I think a lot might have to do that RiF is missing (unrelated, but RIF's author made a client for tildes.net called weirdly Three Cheers) and I refuse to install their spammy app.
Same, i also think that it somewhat improved my well being since I'm less focused on what ppl online think. And I do still kinda miss reddit, not the platform but the people and the communities rip apollo.
Pretty much the same experience. I just gradually stopped using reddit in favor of Lemmy.world and when I realized I hadn't touched my reddit account in two weeks I simply... Deleted it.
Projection is a hell of a drug.
They aren't that wrong, most normies ob the internet have a gummy worm as spine...
Not us that are actually here obviously...
They just assume that because they continue to see anyone, that they are still seeing everyone.
I take it as similar to the "cya next week" comments RE RuneScape... they're kinda half serious half kidding acknowledgements of something's addictiveness. I wouldn't read too much into it.
The ones like in this screenshot may have the benefit of the doubt that they're as you say, but I also remember much less ambiguous ones that clearly weren't half jokes.
