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.

MODERATORS
 

Hi! I came here looking for an alternative to Reddit which is less of a liberal echo chamber. It looks good, even more responsive. But I wonder, how is the moderation here? Biggest problem I have with Reddit is that it is becoming increasingly impossible to have discussions about "sensitive topics". Even if you are being civil, there is a chance you will just straight out get banned for saying something which liberals do not like. How does Lemmy compare? Thanks.

Kwekkie: Am I free to spew hate here?

Everyone: NO!

Kwekkie: Wtf I'm just asking questions. Damn liberal echo chambers.

If you mean "liberal" as in neo-liberalism, then, you'll probably be happy throughout most of the Fediverse. If you mean "liberal" referring to non-right-wing, you're gonna have a bad time. The software behind Lemmy is created by Marxist-Leninists and much of Lemmy is rather leftist and is quick to stand up against abuse against marginalized groups.

OP has received their answer, and I don't think it would be productive to continue this discussion here, so I am locking the post.

Wtf is "liberal"?

Liberal as in Libertarian(freedom liking)? Then no, this is the most liberal place and system you can find.

Different lemmy servers have different rules. If you find you do not like the rules of one server you can simply delete your account and make a new account on another server and sign back up for the same communities.

To view what other Lemmy servers are linked check out the instances page on the footer of each page. example: https://lemmy.world/instances
