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.

Both of these posts are complaining about their accounts being banned, which happened because they (at least one of them) posted low effort questions and therefore got lots of downvotes and got automatically banned by a system meant to ban bots and trolls. The irony is that reddit has major problems with their automatic moderation which you yourself as an user is completely powerless to controll, e.g. recently when a massive amount of nsfw subreddits were banned for being unmoderated which they later admitted was erroneous.

i doubt it was error on thier part, the subs happened to be the ones about trans and lgbt, and narcissim therapy , and around the time musk complained about whitepeople twitter. why only those and non of the controversial oens.

Hey this is my first day on Lemmy and my first comment, too! Fun times.

[–] iStone@feddit.org 12 points 3 weeks ago (25 children)

I wonder why? I have been here for a couple of days and it's nice so far.

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 12 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Because Reddit removes posts promoting Lemmy

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

I've been lurking reddit lately, to see what propaganda the normies in the US are exposed to, and I found this thread fucking hilarious.

Every comment is complaining about how this will be the death of reddit. None of them realize Reddit already died years ago, and they're just getting high off the ashes.

[–] PlainSimpleGarak@lemmings.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Using "normies" unironically is one of the reasons Lemmy is a huge turn off. Normal people don't talk like that, and it makes you look stuck up.

I've noticed a rise of Bot Moderators on reddit and their AI is not very good. They pick up on certain words and not context. One banned me for 3 days for harassment but I was defending myself against someone that was being antagonistic against me. My appeal was rejected :(

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You didn't pay appeal fee that's why.

i got temp ban, because i reported too much, and or people they dint want me reporting. oh when you get temp ban/perma ban, if the same sub sees you again, even if your ban was lifted, it bans you again because it assumes your evading(it doesnt clear when your ban gets lifted in some cases)

It’s probably Spez with a second hand account

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Lol. Lemmy feels more like reddit than reddit.

Anybody surprized by this?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (13 children)

It's so weird to read this, because other than a dork messaging me saying they were going to report me to the FBI I've had nothing but a lovely time on Lemmy.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I just don’t respond to hostile comments on Reddit or here. It makes life much easier. It saves me time too - if my comment is 2 sentences and someone replies to me with 2 very lengthy paragraphs, I just pass.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

i just report sometimes, to block them. on reddit, depends on the sub it can backfire if you report and the mod doesnt like it, or they set a filter of how many reports a "user can do before they get banned"

Honestly I had some really bad experiences here on Lemmy. I So bad, that in fact I contemplated going back to Reddit because it didn't feel much different. I surely went from recommending my friends to delete Reddit to towards more of a "just quit Reddit altogether but there's no good alternative"

[–] BothsidesistFraud@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Lemmy has some of the most tiresome people, like a completely humorless version of the most circlejerk parts of reddit. Why am I here then. Because how are we ever gonna have a reddit alternative if we don't have at least a few normal people.

[–] bradd@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

That's how I see it, almost exactly. I'm hated here but I stay because I feel a sense of responsibility.

My beef with Lemmy:

  • It’s weighted towards politics
  • Not a lot of niche sub critical mass yet (though this is not its fault at all)
  • But holy moly, it’s a political purity test! Like, I think of myself as pretty socialist, way far off center, but I feel totally alone veering off certain topics or even acknowledging certain things! I’m (mostly) not getting banned, and I am not leaving, but still.

Not gonna lie; I read the first link in the "stay away from the summoner" lady's voice from FFX.

I don't get the hate this place gets. It's been really interesting watching Lemmy's growing pains over the last two-ish years and all the changes it has undergone. The whole concept of the Fediverse is fascinating to me and has been a genuine delight to explore.
