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.

I've seen this same sentiment dozens of times, so why did none of you do it?
I was too busy not using Reddit
So you're one of those complaining about people being on Reddit and simultaneously complaining that those that are aren't being on Reddit the right way. OK.
It is my opinion that no one should continue to be on Reddit at all. Accordingly, I deleted my account.
The people who think Reddit is still fine and hasn't done anything wrong - well, I think they're wrong, but it makes sense that they continue to use the site.
But the people who are upset with the site and think they're acting shiftily and that things are getting worse - why do they stay? It seems hypocritical to me, past a point. It makes sense that they'd want to try and get the site to reverse course, but i don't think writing FUCK SPEZ was ever intended to do that. So why stick around?
Cathartic rage would be my guess, Spez wants to sell the house so they're happy to help smash the windows, paint the walls, and swear at the prospective buyers.
Because I deleted my account.
