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.

I don't get what kind of communities and posts y'all are hanging out in where people talk shit and start shit ๐ฅด
I've mostly only had proper interactions with folks here. Some miniscule percentage of rude assholes who are looking for a reaction, but other than that, much smoother than Reddit ever was.
I have encountered some rage here that reminded me of Reddit but it's much more rare.
Much rarer in my experience also. I am much more at peace here, and find myself much less inclined to frantically refresh my inbox when having conversations here.
Notifications here make me excited in a good way, rather than raise my blood pressure like they did on Reddit.
It's always the stupidest shit for me, tbh... Like yesterday there was a post of an (obviously fake) tweet from Dave Ramsey (a "Christian" ~~financial consultant/planner ~~ grifter) that said 'fuck your 401k, go buy that truck you want now' or something to that effect, which led to a few conversations in the comments that revolved around what was essentially the cost effectiveness of actually following the (clearly horrible) tweet's advice.
This one dude makes a comment in which he basically says "no, that makes sense. Used car values are on a bell curve and will sell for more than what you purchased it for 30 years ago at around the same rate of return youd get from an index fund" in not so many words. Now, I'm not in financing (or cars tbh), and tbf I do a pretty heroic amount of drugs generally speaking, but I'm almost certain that that's not how ANY of that works... lol So i made a little comment politely saying so, laying out my logic for my position, and making sure to explicitly state that I'd be more than open to being proven wrong, but I wanna see some proof, which I didnt think was too awfully crazy or anything until dude replied shortly after babbling that I just needed to look it up, and something about hilux(?); I dunno, just being kind of a prick, demanding I find his proof for him, and then complaining about me (or people on lemmy in general, maybe?) cant take jokes so seriously. Big 'do your own research', MAGA, 'it WaZ A PraNK bRo' energy.
I can link it if anyone is having SRD withdrawls or something lol
ngl I'd like to see both sides of that conversation ๐
