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
Doesn’t being downvoted mean it’s not contributing
Let's be honest: No. It's an "I don't like this/agree with this" button.
Whatever, just own your unpopular opinion or grow from your mistakes, but don't shred the bits of content we have.
Well, sometimes I'm not sober, answer and afterwards figure out, that I completely got the wrong idea from the comment I was replying to
If there is already an answer, I tend to strike-through my comment instead of deleting
Mostly at least
Maybe I should really let them stay as well, as a personal reminder to take more care in what I'm answering to
(And since about a month GBoard seems to act really weird while swiping, like missing words or doing differently than before - anyone else?
At least, sometimes it's not salvageable anymore in my opinion and the effort of correcting it is just too much...)
Ive done strikethrough as well, seems perfectly reasonable.
Same, and agree! With an edit owning the strike through content and why I came back to edit. That, to me, shows growth when others do it. Own the mistake and carry on!
Nah on larger communities we've already reached the point that going against the hivemind gets downvotes.
I think I upset technology by not sufficiently glazing signal (because it still depends on centralized infrastructure & Google/apple can send you backdoored updates), and there was no room for discussion only downvotes.
Downvoted just because, sorry about your karma
I'm certain that's not how people opposed to AI use the feature 😅
It’s supposed to be, but people really like being able to negate the amount of likes on something they disagree with
Not really, people get dogpiled on for dumb reasons on the internet all the time.
Yes and no. If you post something wildly unpopular that gets down voted a ton, then it is contributing (I would recommend not really replying to comments unless you feel very strongly about it though, otherwise you'll probably be accused of trolling or being a tankie {whether you are or not}).
Haha yeah good advice there, if it's a serious topic.
