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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Hey redfugees! I'm a little OOTL... I know reddit has been going downhill for a while, but how has it suddenly nosedived? What triggered it? It's bewildering, and they're losing countless users.

“Eat the rich” is specifically cited as a violent and violence encouraging statement, bannable.

Upvotes of such statements will also be given bans.

And like nobody wants to actually eat the rich, they'd probably taste terrible.

Consider that the rich would do anything rather than become a regular-ass person

Eat the rich??? Ffs that's absurd. Honest question... are they trying to destroy reddit?

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Someone posted their ban feedback around here somewhere, that’s how it read. Maybe we’ll get a link from someone more interested in keeping track of such things than I.

No I mean are the reddit admins trying to destroy it

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 16 hours ago

They have been for like a decade.

Look at the two shit redesigns the did, the profile-centric accounts, the API blocking, the crypto currency stuff, and the the recent push to monetize reposted content.

The admins clearly hate that people were still using the site lol

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, but yes.

Everything Reddit does these days is for the sake of the shareholders, advertisers, and Spez's whims. They're not intentionally trying to destroy Reddit the website as much as they're trying to turn it into algorithmic social media slop that promotes doomscrolling and advertising revenue over community and genuine human interaction.

Throw in a sprinkle of Spez aspiring to be Elon Musk's left shoe, and you have absurd censorship designed to drive away dissenters and users who don't conform with Reddit's target audience.
