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 really hates Mario's brother. What did Luigi do to your wife, spez? Mammamia that's an abomination
The fact that "luigi'd" as a verb has become pretty common slang very quickly, it's not crazy to associate it with violence.
Now we get to the actual matter. Several years ago saying "Someone should shoot that CEO" (which would be the same statement as something like "Hoping that CEO gets luigi'd") would not have gotten you banned. Wishing death upon someone is not the same as actual threats of violence.

That site is unusable now, I got banned for saying the word guillotine, didn’t even use it in any context. I’ve tried going back and always get banned for ban evasion. It’s a garbage community now, the worst of the worst stayed there

At this point, there is an outstanding opportunity to just gather up a bunch of people and have long discussions about random Luigi's Mansion lore.

Reddit sucks because of the moderation, yet the current zeitgeist continues to be that this extra moderation is some wondrous, beautiful thing that improves everything it touches, and new platforms need more of it. Fuck that & fuck Reddit.

So, when your account is banned on Reddit, does that remove all your posts? Because that would be cool. I left Reddit back in mid 2023 and came to Lemmy. I tried to delete all my old posts there, but they wouldn't let me. I tried editing them and they reverted back to their original form. When I deleted them, they appeared to be deleted while I was logged in, but if I logged into another account the posts were still there. If getting a ban will get them deleted finally, then that would be well worth paying that cesspool a visit for a while.

I need a lemmy based replacement for MarchAgainstNazis since that mod team has been seriously compromised.
Can't sound like you criticize reddit itself or admin actions in any way, benign things being silently removed/hidden. can't say anything against actual nazi's now.

Yep this is why I'm here 🤭
Still got my Reddit acct but yeah. I set up a Lemmy acct when I saw this. For insurance when the rest of Reddit fully enshitifies.
