Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I actually suspected that this was part of all this.
Real humans with lots of karma, some of it perhaps built up from before they started fucking with karma? Who might say something other than what the paid sponsors want?
I think this is an intentional move to try and get rid of anyone with any authenticity who isn't a bot or a shill.
It's just my little conspiracy. People with accounts like my old one would be very undesirable (lots of karma, ancient account age, not a capitalist stooge.)
I hope Reddit dies! Free Luigi!
oh, it won't.. it'll turn into a weird cross between thedonald and 9gag in a few months. mark my words.
Dude something very weird is going on on Reddit. I’ve been through it with them for 12 years and this is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
I finally deleted the terrible Reddit app when my feed was blasted with repeated comments that “Reddit is far left and the left are domestic terrorists.” Sorry what?
These very weird not based in reality comments are posted almost verbatim in every thread. These people usually never respond to conversation.
It’s very very weird
I think your prediction is probably spot on. Reddit already feels like incel 9gag with a bunch of Russians pretending to be American college students.
Edit: oh if that’s your optimistic take then oh wow haha I am staying here on Lemmy I’ll start posting too
that's my optimistic projection, i don't see it going any better anyotherwise.
please stay. we need your doots. this is freedom from reddit.
The moment I got permabanned for "threatening" fascists is the moment when Reddit died to me.
Time to go find video game discussions to comment Luigi on
Unfortunately those aren't safe either :/ The article mentions how several subs for the game Luigi's Mansion got banned, even though they have nothing you do with Mangione
Brought to you by the same type of morons that wiped out articles of the Enola Gay while that's on their anti-DEI (really anything not pro cis/white) rampage
I suggest using a euphemism for Luigi from now on. Sort of like how Pres Xi of China was "panda" on chinese social media to avoid censors. How about Muski? Eloni?
I spoke with the moderation team for r/PublicFreakout, who told me: “It started with r/comics.” In late January, a cartoonist was permanently banned from the comics subreddit for “Nazi apologia,” after posting a comment dismissing the idea that Musk had made a Nazi salute at the inauguration (a gesture that, notably, had inspired a wide swath of moderators to block X links from their subreddits). Musk found that cartoonist’s tweet and called his ban “insane,” inspiring his followers to assail r/comics.
That's some bull shit. Well we are seeing a serge. So come on down! The fediverse will talk when reddit won't allow you.
Musk then decided to attack whitepeopetwitter and got it banned temporarily, reddit call it brigadin. I was in a sub about a particular Asian YouTubers and they did this to the channels sub, it was making them look bad because their channel was declining from all the sht they did to their former employees
