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 has become like the Nigerian prince letters with this, as in if you are nuanced enough to ever experience this, you are not their target audience. They want only their very slim narratives to thrive, and they will willingly obliterate the post history and presence of decade old users to achieve this. This isn't just keeping away conspiracy theories and misinformation to keep the noise down, it's about keeping away any nuance and discussion away when the admins don't like it when it personally offends them or argues against them. It is basically eroding the sort of participation that made reddit great and them just hoping that there's enough participation left over to make it up.
Reddit is basically what X and Meta would be if Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg where as deceitful enough as Steve Huffman, as opposed to loud idiots who because of it everyone knows what they are. It's a social network that is rotten to its core but has played people well enough to be able to get attention in places where it shouldn't have been able to. Thank spez he was finally able to have his whole out-himself moment with the whole API fiasco, but of course he's going to care less and less about appearances now that the cat is out of the bag.
