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.

The Descent and the Wound For the first time since existence began, Ki did not act through the Nai. He descended. From his own essence, he forged a weapon- a trident, three-pronged and absolute. Each blade carried a law: • Annihilation • Judgment • Balance Ki struck Serima. The seas convulsed. The serpent screamed as divine force tore through her scales. But the Seas rose in fury. Waves became weapons. Currents became chains. They sought to crush Ki beneath infinite pressure. Bound and sinking, Ki did not strike Serima again. Instead, he drove the trident downward. It pierced the ocean floor. The seabed fractured. Stone surged upward. Mountains erupted from the depths, lifting Ki toward the surface. Thus, land was born- not as a blessing, but as a division. Serima was not slain. She was wounded and bound, entombed in the deep, sleeping, waiting. From that moment, existence carried a fault.

Sometimes I find old Reddit posts on search engines, and when I look at them the top commenter's account is deleted. This has happened many times, and I was curious about the general statistics of this.

I made a small analysis of Reddit.

I searched some random words with top posts: "minecraft, people, help, science, google, amazon, funny, colorful."

I didn't just choose the top one; I chose 10 old posts and summed up the total users in comments (top posts hierarchically).

data


Results;

total 1,947 users, 451 deleted, 23.1%

btw this is for users who deleted their accounts; maybe there are many more abandoned

this is just a small research I did; the real stats may be higher or lower - I don't know

So at least in my research, 23% of top commentator Reddit users chose to delete their accounts; some of them also deleted their comments, and some obfuscated their comments (to poison LLMs)

But 23% of top commentors is a really big number. These guys made Reddit the Reddit, but they chose to leave

Recently, the top mod of r/antimeme has been announced dead by another mod. https://old.reddit.com/r/antimeme/comments/1r1id73/rest_in_peace_course/

Shortly after, users on r/antimeme2 started speculating it to be fake and the user got exposed

Reddit is just pissing me off more and more by the day. Every single post (at least a solid 4/5ths of them) ends up getting auto-filtered. Sick of it...

Yet another reason to come to the Fediverse. Thanks, Reddit...

I’m ngl i’ve been doomscrolling hard over the wild stuff happening over this past week. I use reddit still to keep up to tabs on my local communities. My feed was full of anti Ice protest and the atrocious shit in the epstein files.

But today suddenly I’ve been getting A LOT of ads, random posts in subreddits I’m not even subscribed to or posts not politically related at all. Its feels like its a distraction from the stuff going on.

Anybody else run into anything similar?

Hey, to anyone who uses both platforms, have y'all seen a huge uptick in Indian subreddits being recommended to y'all, irrespective of your nationality? It's something I had heard a lot happening on reddit, but I wanted to confirm

Love this pack, the only thing I disagree with is the cat posting. I love cats and love to see people post their pics, the thing I hate is when they make the title some sob backstory like, "Someone called my cat UGLY!"

Personally, I'd replace the cat posting with AITA bot generated stories.

I apparently got fucking shadow banned for fucking using a VPN??? What the actual fuck.I can't do anything, and I tried making a new account only to get shadowbanned just a day later. I am now banned on my main account + 2 other acocunts, because reddit sucks, and apparently the solution is to appeal DAILY until I get unbanned?

Is there any actual solution than spamming an appeal button every day?

I found that the members of r/luckystar were saying very sexual things about characters that, while 18, had very child like designs. And even if, they were saying shit like, "Cunny!" and, "Correction!" so, yeah.

I constantly reported all posts and comments like that I came across and eventually made a post asking why they were saying things like that. I wasn't hostile, and was in fact, rather calm about the situation. Meanwhile, they were all extremely rude and hostile towards my post, calling me names and such, and about 20 minutes later, my account was shadowbanned.

So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos, they didn't even have the decency to tell me what I did wrong. Assuming how it all happened so suddenly, I'm just gonna assume the pedos all mass-reported my account for God knows what. Any and all appeals I've mad since then received no response.

I still stuck around for a few months after that, [that whole deal happened back in May of 2025.] but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.

Tonight, I finally put my foot down and said, "I quit!" I discovered this website and made an account here. I guess you can use this post to welcome me to the Fediverse.

Marketers and their bots have been using reddit to hype up brands. No wonder Reddit feels like shit these days.

The feedback has been received and the topic of politics is once again banned. This does not mean political streamers are banned. We do not have any banned streamers and so long as they are not discussing politics, their clips are welcome. In the event of major news (such as a political assassination, major declarations of war, hard to predict these types of things and not get put on a list) you may request an exception. If we make an exception for a topic, we will accept 1 political post per streamer.
