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.

Reddit kept banning people for the most hilarious reasons. I stopped logging in once i was banned from my countries "official" sub. Why log in when i cant participate? Used to lurk with browser which blocked ads then but they disabled using reddit that way by forcing a login pop up. This drove me to lemmy.
I hate that reddit is still shown in top rankings of google because following their links ask/force you to log in after 10 seconds..
It's strange.... They let actual extremists and extremely narrow minded people stay. And if you reach a point of matching their extremism you get banned.
It honestly seems to be like American politics. You can see it happening everywhere in society. Everywhere... Like people are just giving away their human essence.
It feels like a psyop. It feels like a cia operation... Gaslight and bait people to weed out the people that actually stand for humanity instead of loyalty regardless of left or right beliefs. It feels like a purge is coming for those that aren't considered loyal... Maybe that's why ice is getting such a big budget.
It's like they are TRYING to make people react and be bad specifically to purge them from society because their loyalty doesn't match some made up ideologies.
...I'm waiting for the official roll out of hell against authentic humanity.
It's like they do this because it's easier to control "bad" than control "freedom" and freewill.
Here is an article exposing how the government is trying to find AI to filter "existing enterprise datasets" to look for "terrorists". This means they're going through forum and chat logs of the last ten years, just like you said. They are also redefining "terrorism" to mean essentially anything a person who is not a hateful magat drone might talk about.

This is specifically for executing NSPM-7, which defines terrorism as:
"domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns... trespass... and civil disorder."
Have you downloaded a picture of an ice agent's face or upvoted a website that that has them? Are you talking about maybe going to a protest or participating in a strike? This is you.
"Investigations should prioritize crimes such as the following: conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. 241"
That law criminalizes an agreement (conspiracy) between two or more people, to interfere with constitutionally or statutorily secured rights. The reason this law was chosen is that the commission of an overt act is not an element of the offense. The conspiracy itself is the crime.
The offense is also a felony punishable by any means up to and explicitly including, life imprisonment and the death penalty.
Then the national security directive goes on to state that it is now "a violation of someone's rights" to express displeasure or discomfort at their anti-trans views, their racist views, their religious views, or to say anything anti-american.
Have you expressed any of these views? That's you. And it doesn't matter how well you hide, this system states it will specifically be using biometric data, like the cadence of your messages and your word choice, to unmask you. This is something AI can do very well.

The concentration camps are for us. Ice almost, almost has as large a budget as the entire Chinese military. Ice is the third best funded military on the planet, and it is already executing Americans in the street, and they haven't even gotten started yet.
I can only agree that reddit became crap, I quit it after having used it for many years.
