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.

Got my ban yesterday for expressing my displeasure with Danielle Smith. Reddit has sold out

[–] roguesignal@lemm.ee 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

My 15 year old account got banned last week, too. On one hand it kinda sucks, but on the other hand it feels good to get out of that site's echo chamber. Reddit is really circling the drain.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago

I had my 13 year old account also busted up due to that last summer.

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 14 points 16 hours ago

Here’s my new thing.

All the people with critical thinking skills are leaving in droves. Leaving a massive bot farm authoritarian echo chamber in its wake.

As far as they’re concerned we’re the problem and it solved itself.

[–] Haess@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 15 hours ago

Smith is such a fucking joke.. I grew up in Southern Alberta, I'll never ever return.

[–] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 11 points 16 hours ago

I was banned for harassment. I followed 6 accounts that posted tons of misinformation about elons nazi salute.

They’d defend him at all cost, call everyone else sheep, “Roman salute”, he’s autistic, you’re such a n idiot for hating on him. Posted still frame images of anyone with raised hands and claimed them to be identical to nazi boy Elon.

I got a notification every time they posted something to a sub I frequented. I would comment their recent post history and how their most extreme lies in defense of Elon.

Reddit said that was considered harassment. Not what those accounts did, but my action to their posts and comments. Spez is such a fucking spineless cunt.

Ban Elon Musk then??? Sick of reading abt Reddit bending over backwards to defend him & Trump

[–] Pupscent@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

I don't think they are defending them. Reddit has changed their behaviour to keep from becoming the focus of the US administration. The same way all those who donated to Trumps inauguration. It's about survival. That being said, it makes Reddit irrelevant.

The banhammer is pounded quite randomly over there.

Elon's gonna get shot one day

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Ironically, what Musk posted is perfectly acceptable ( in and of itself, ignoring the context of the person who is saying it ) since violence or the threat of violence is sometimes necessary to prevent things getting worse. For example, "Ukraine should be helped to defend itself" is a call for violence.

Which is why it's such a bullshit excuse to ban speech for that reason alone. I got banned for suggesting France might help out the USA by shipping over any surplus guillotines. I'm sure they would have no issue at all if I were enthusiastically advocating genocide. Never mind, I needed a push to make the move to Lemmy ; )

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

My ban from reddit was 100% related to calling for the arrest and judicial execution of netenyahu. Which is not an unreasonable thing to say given that he is nothing more than a modern Hitler.

I will take it back. Netenyahu should not be tried at all in any court. But simply tied up, have the charges read against him, and promptly shot through the head at point blank range.

[–] freely1333@reddthat.com 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The line is state sponsored violence, generally. Likely with a little bias on what state is on the giving and receiving ends of said violence. Thats the rule at least so far as I can tell, at least.

The irony here is that violence is a necessary action when the bourgeoisie (Billionaires) leaves the working class no other option. But what he's saying is that state violence is justified to maintain the status quo.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Billionaires are not bourgeoisle. Bourgeoisie means "middle class". When Lenin targeted the bourgeosie he was targeting the middle class, not the billionaires.

Fuck reddit.

[–] Skymt@feddit.nu 5 points 17 hours ago

The peace in peaceful is not of the "peace and war" kind. It's of the "peace and quiet" kind.

Important distinction.

[–] Captain_J@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

This guy has so much power over the United States and so many people are okay with it and some even support it.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Is it just me or are other people giving fewer and fewer fucks about why somebody got banned on reddit, or anything else that happens on reddit?

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 3 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I'm loathe to defend Reddit's moderation decision but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.

In a solution of 1/3 35% hydrogen peroxide and 2/3 98% sulfuric acid.

The only reason I still have a Reddit account is to leave comments telling people to leave Reddit and join Lemmy. I just find posts on or near the front page that are complaining about Reddit and leave the same comment every time.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah i don't post anymore since reddit turned into 1984

This is the same kind of thing the 19 year old high school dropout with two kids he doesn’t have custody of posts on Facebook. Like “the devil whispered in my ear you can’t handle the storm and i said i am storm”
