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.

the guy hasnt even been convicted yet. the oligarchy is truly scared.
I never received a ban on reddit until this year.
First i got a warning because i had the audacity to report an extremist mod, apparently reporting mods is a violation of rule 8 which says nothing about such a thing.
A few days later i randomly received a 3 days ban for the same „offense“ without having interacted with the matter any further.
Both were non automated actions.
Both times an appeal was declined with a generic copy paste response.
Now i‘ve got a 7 day ban for violating Rule1 about harassment.
This time per automation.
Apparently a single comment can be harassment, which is new to me.
I really would like to see which comment of mine was the gruesome crime but since they removed the comment „for the safety of others“, i cannot open it anymore…
I can only imagine that it was due to me answering another users question by providing a link and some context to a certain dark part of history, which reddits automation considered a no no…
When they issue such a ban they babble quite a lot about how people should feel safe on reddit…
You can’t safely post.
You can’t safely report.
Soon you can’t even safely upvote without expecting a random ban.
Weird way to make people „feel safe“.
I haven't been back to reddit since the purge of 3rd party apps and never looked back, it's a cesspool and satire is the only attention it deserves lol.
Soon you can’t even safely upvote without expecting a random ban.
Someone yesterday ot the day before posted a screenshot of their ban for "up voting non-violent Luigi content"
The ban said "although you didn't post the bad content you up voted it and that's bad and you're bad"
That’s so absurd.
How is a platform that lives on user participation, supposed to survive when participating in any way leads to random unjustified reprisal?
random
It's not random. It's definitely purposeful.
I do understand what you are saying.
Were you an old.reddit user? The mods generally don't care to update the stylesheets and information for that side of things - the two aren't linked, because of course they aren't - so the rule 8 you read might not be the rule 8 they were referring to.
They do provide a link to that rule when they give a warning or ban.
Rule 8 basically says that you are not supposed to hinder the function of Reddit or it’s staff.
Just that a mod in some subreddit is not Reddit staff and even if they were they should not be above any rules themselves.
Besides that, if you ban people for using your report functions, they will stop using them which defeats the purpose.
I got a permanent ban on the Vinted sub, plus a three day ban on the rest of Reddit for „Harassment" and that was down to a single comment.
Another thing I love about Lemmy. I can say Luigi all I want. Luigi!
Luigi Luigi Luigi Luigi!
Luigi!
Maybe someone should annoy nintendo that Reddit radicalizes the term "luigi" i saw nintendo go haywire for less maybe if they feel that their figures and marketing is dangered by reddit they will go ham on them.
Nintendo, isn't that the law firm with a game console side business?
