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.

15 years. I haven't deleted my account yet but I haven't logged in since API day. I have a redirect in place to go through a libreddit proxy in case I end up on the site through a web search or something.
I am pretty commited to never contribute to the site again and I am planning to delete my account at some point. I want to make sure that I can reliably delete my full comment history before I do that and I haven't bothered researching that yet. I am hoping that there will be a way to do it through a GDPR or CCPA request at some point rather than me having to do the work. (yeah I know there are tools but it's still an effort)
Reddit had been my greatest online addiction by far. It's kinda nice that they made it so easy to kick it. A bit like finding an unexpected out from a bad relationship. Good luck with the rest of your life Reddit!
14 years myself. More than a third of my life. Your bad relationship analogy is a pretty good one (the analogy, that is). I was in a real life one of those about the same time I joined reddit. Glad that one didn't last nearly as long!
15 years and 4 letter username here as well. I really hadn't done much with it up until 3-4 years ago and I really started liking many of the communities there a lot over the last few years. Some were terrible, but many were great, largely because of the volunteer moderators.
But, I'm all but done with it at this point. Really enjoying Lemmy and Mastodon.
Yeah for me too, glad reddit broke that habbit for me, with lemmy my participation is definitely more healthy, less "doom" scrolling, more productive things like programming.
What you want to do, is probably fill all your comments and posts automated with garbage or a fuck u/spez message, or lemmy promotion. I think this hurts reddit even more. (With something like this: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit )
