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.

Advocate for antivax bullshit that kills people? Sure! Encourage politicians to stop live-saving cancer research, gut the VA, and reduce safety standards that will have more people suffering? Cool beans!

Oh, you don't like that and want to voice your opinion? GFY

My country is about to strap a guy to a chair and have 3 government employees fire a gun at him. And that's fine.

I commented supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods - an economic protest and it got removed by Reddit admins for “glorifying violence”

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 62 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Don't you know, it's considered violence to use economics against the rich, that's only allowed against the poors

But saying eat the rich on Reddit is like a tradition.

This will probably piss off a lot of soon to be lemmy users.

My account got banned about 2 weeks ago for three days saying if you were were a republican you voted for a Nazi and fuck Nazi's.

People don't realize it but Reddit is working on suppressing everything as well. This plus the soon to be paywalled information. This shit is on purpose.

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (9 children)

Are you telling me the president’s closest advisor doing double nazi salutes to a cheering crowd and his other closest advisor doing a nazi salute to another cheering crowd isn’t just a coincidence? Next thing you’ll tell me is Musk likes the name X because he enjoys drawing the rest of the swastika.

I'm just going to assume every billionaire pulling this shit for trump has an unfathomably disgusting record in the Epstein files. There's no way that every single one of them is deciding to be this overtly fucking pathetic.

If you thought Reddit was anything but on the side of Elon, Thiel, and the Nazi plutocrats, you haven’t been paying attention. And it will get worse and worse as time goes on.

They’re trying to control the conversation to the point that the Overton Window embraces open fascism, and it’s working.

I got a 7 day ban for mentioning that someone managed to make Musk's AI say Musk and Trump deserve the death penalty in a thread shitting on Musk's AI. I tried to appeal the ban asking how mentioning this was "promoting violence" and I got permabanned with no explanations. Reddit has become a fucking cesspool.

Anyone else think chocolate is great? I love to eat the rich, dark kind for dessert. It's a delightful way to end a meal.

Your submission has been removed as it advocates wordplay and the potential use of a thesaurus. Education and signs of intelligence are against the interests of the rich.

Eat the rich doesn't mean literal cannibalism lol

Just let us seize assets above 999 million, and its a peaceful transition to more egalitarian society.

Why do you think we're here? Reddit is dying

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 55 points 5 days ago (8 children)

Why do you think we're here?

I think that depends largely on somebody's "join" date. If they're under 6 months old, they probably got banned/censored from Reddit. If they joined in the last 6-12 months, it's probably because of Reddit's AI policies. If they joined 12-18 months ago, it was probably due to the API changes shutting down third-party apps. If they're older than that, then they're probably just tankies.

Recently had a friend tell me that he couldn't even read reddit comments anymore because of all the "SJW bs". "I'm as centrist as they come and reddit has just gone way too far left recently". I haven't spoken to him since and was a little surprised by the total lack of awareness, as he's generally a very intelligent & fun person.

There have been problematic comments in the past, but it's not possible to keep the peace with the current political/societal state - the mental / emotional exhaustion is just too much.

Maybe it's time to start using rhyming slang?

You make a short phrase where the last word rhymes with the word you want. So for "rich", the phrase could be "bait and switch". Then you drop the end and just use the first part, in this case "rich" becomes "bait". Eat the bait. You could also make one for "eat", say "sugar beet", then eat-->sugar.

Sugar the Bait.

But plenty of other possibilities. For Luigi, it might be a little harder, all I can think of is squeegee and Fiji.

I was put on a 3 day ban for "hate" because I commented about the ongoing Palestine/Israel conflicts. Basically, I said Hamas committed a horrible act but the IDF/Netanyahu have also done terrible things. To be clear, I said BOTH groups have blood on their hands.

I was banned, but commenters who condemned Hamas/Palestine and called for ALL of them to be killed and then PRAISED the IDF/Netanyahu for killing them, were NOT banned.

Apparently, we are only allowed to speak out against one particular group 🇵🇸 ☪️. The other group 🇮🇱 🕎, is absolutely innocent, perfect, and has never harmed anyone. Allegedly.

We'll see if THIS gets deleted.
