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.

To be richer than 90% of people you need to have a net worth of $90,000 USD.

Damn. I've got more than that and I sure as hell don't feel like a ten percenter.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Worldwide. So you’re competing with people sewing shoes at 1$ per hour.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That's too high. People are employed for like $4/day basis in some places.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That makes a whole lot more sense.

That can't possibly be true. I'm not saying you're lying, just... holy shit I though it'd be way more than that. This is for US citizens?

Very interesting. That's more in line with what I was thinking it would be for the United States. Thanks for looking that up and providing the info.

This is for all people, worldwide. North America is very rich, relatively speaking.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Ah, ok, I suppose that makes a bit more sense then.

I've read this before and continue to remain stunned since the cost of living is so ridiculously high in so many American cities.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, wouldn’t be too out-there. How many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck with some sort of massive debt? How many can’t afford to have any assets? How many more accrue even greater debt to either survive, or drop money they don’t have on shit they don’t need (like that latest BMW) just so they can keep up with the Joneses?
