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
Reddit's stock is falling because they're eating themselves from the inside.
Apparrently you can't even read articles without an account now. Way to make yourself even less relevant.
Facebook also requires login, maybe that's why reddit thought they could do it too?
But I agree, I don't think it's a good recipe for reddit. People will just think "nothing to see here" and leave.
facebooks login can be bypassed with ublock origin.
I use updated µblock origin in Firefox, and I don't see how I pass login with that?
But generally I only get there with links I didn't know go there. And then I get some nag screen, and I close that shit again immediately. If it's on facebook, it doesn't exist to me.
Both of these websites are stupid ASF because their CEOs and executives are dumb asses. By locking viewing behind an account all you are doing is killing your views and interactions. But this is what happens when MBAs, consultants and venture capital buys into a social site.
I have never used facebook because I actually read the terms of service first.
here if anyone wants to look at that shit:
