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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Can we do that here? It'd be cool

We do. Ive already seen some comments that really feels like I'm seeing some confidential information.

Fortunately (maybe unfortunately), Lemmy seems to still be at the stage where there not a lot of amplification of those comments.

People severely overestimate the lawlessness of the west. Only reason anyone even has that picture of it is because westerners realized it was an easy way to cheat folks who have never been west of the Mississippi out of their money in exchange for wild tales and performances about the cRaZy life of Arizona

I think that I started using Reddit around 2014~5 or so. For me the cultural shift shows two things:

  1. Any online community financed by adbux will eventually prioritise advertisers over its own participants.
  2. Unless you have tools ensuring transparency of the process, people with power over the others' speech will misuse it to defend their individual interests, instead of the community's.

Yeah just like in the Wild West, we used to all die of dysentery.
