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.

MODERATORS
Yeah it has been rough. Decade and a half old account, frequent poster, moderater, went out my way to be open minded.
Never a single ban, until two years ago:
One ban for catching someone lying, they were friends with the moderator I learnt later.
One ban for crypto facism I think it was? Why? Explaining to someone what a certain right wing political faction in the uk was and the upside to them being a protest vote to put pressure on current government to do better. Not even my views, was just devils advocating for someone elses opinion.
For reference I'm a left leaning libetarian, there was no argument involved, just a zealous moderator who seemed really young.
A ban on privacy sub for replying to someone who said something political, tbh, fair enough, caught a stray as did others yet can't fault the logic, just the punishment (perma so hot right now)
Last was on a literature subreddit where the moderator made some questionable changes, I and some others politely discussed the changes, were upvoted for it, that ruffled mods feathers and so we all got a permaban.
When you become a moderator on reddit they give you resources telling you how to act, what the goal is, etc
It became abundantly clear that reddit doesn't care to enforce that. It's all just words to feel nice.
Echo chambers, ragebait, tons of bots and fake interaction.
I just had to find an alternative and here we are. You can tell the quality of discussion is so much better here.
