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've been Reddit free for a couple years now, after Reddit deplatformed me for planning a peaceful protest of the yearly Billionaire's Summer Camp in Sun Valley, Idaho. It's where Billionaires give there marching orders to the Operation Mockingbird media.
Quitting Reddit is way harder than any other addiction I've experienced, because it plays on the collectivism that is hardwired into us. It's why they peddle it to kids like the tobacco, alcohol and gambling industries before them. Get them while they are young, and there brains aren't developed enough to build up self-control!
It's not just Reddit though, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, etc, etc, etc all do the same things to varying levels. I highly encourage everyone to watch the Documovie The Social Dilema. The only way to free ourselves of this new form of digital slavery is to educate people on the dangers our such technology.
