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.

Doesn't seem very metal to me, being a long time metal head.

On behalf of the metal community, everyone is welcome. Fuck transphobia. Pick all your brothers, sisters, and non-binary family off the ground and lift them up.

I got a 6 day ban from reddit for telling a mod in r/funny that it's not right to judge a person for posting a meme in a different sub. Which is what convinced me to make an account on Lemmy

[–] atfergs@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not saying it warranted a ban, but if someone is posting transphobic memes in another sub, they should be judged for that.

[–] MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah but that's different. That's hate

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got a 6 day ban for say Nazis should be punched. I'm sorry, but it was also in the context of when they ran over that girl with the car at the rally.

[–] mantisteabaggin@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Doesn’t matter the context, imo, nazis always deserve to be punched.

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago (13 children)

That subreddit sucks. They banned Sabaton for being “Nazis”. I don’t think they’ve ever listened to Sabaton.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 year ago

Sabaton do have a lot of Nazi fans, but we shouldn't yield ground to them

[–] quirzle@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

That subreddit sucks.

Replying just to echo this sentiment.

the problem is that you were visiting a sub that begins with /r/.

[–] beefbaby182@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (3 children)

...And you're on an instance called "aussie zone". Isn't cunt practically a term of endearment down there?

[–] loz@aussie.zone 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

It can go either way. I mostly use it on inanimate objects that have injured me.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, essentially, "cunt" can refer to anything, good or bad, in Australia.

[–] finder@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)
[–] z500@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

Or marklar on Marklar

I was banned from r/politics for "hate speech" for comparing Krysten Sinema to Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter. The totally arbitrary enforcement of the rules by authoritarian mods is a large part of the reason I made the migration to Lemmy after more than 14 years on Reddit. I was a refuge from the Digg migration, and am now a refuge from Reddit bullshit and proud of it!

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Well, no wonder! That's an insult to Delores Umbridge!

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

A lot of mods thought they had a power downvote - the way reddit works where it hides your removed comment from everyone but you with zero notification (like a per-comment shadowban) is pretty annoying. I'd post in some subs and check with one of the comment deletion tools, and sure enough, that would explain why I'd get no replies or votes. Sure is annoying to take the time to express yourself and talk top people, and some twat of a mod arbitrarily or mendaciously decides your comment is not allowed and removes it.

I got a ban once for calling someone a good cunt in a supposedly Australian run sub because someone else got offended by it for some reason.

It is an actual term of endearment in Australia.

[–] loz@aussie.zone 16 points 1 year ago
[–] RubberColby@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone's the same in the pit.

[–] eric5949@lemmy.cloudaf.site 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Metal memes is a shit tier sub anyway, you ain't missing nothing.

[–] ruck_feddit@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are the alternatives? I'll happily subscribe. Reddit is dying a slow death, and I haven't found a new place to get metal suggestions or news

Please ban me too, I agree that they're cunts.

[–] StarServal@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Cunt seems to be one of their no no words over there. I’ve cursed up and down all over the place, but the moment I call someone a cunt I get banned from the sub I’m on.
