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
For real. I got on Reddit in 2009, I was a mod for awhile blah blah blah. It’s been going downhill for almost a decade. It was slow.
Last comment I made there I got a 3 day suspension on my account. A video of a guy standing in the street and knocking down a guy in his motorcycle, stealing his keys and refusing to give them back.
I said he should have punched the dude out or choked him. I mean this dude could have killed the guy on the bike. He was unhinged. So I got a ban for “inciting or promoting violence” or some bullshit.
But here’s the thing lol. You can post about punching Nazis all day long. Fuck Nazis. Punch every one you see. But the double standard is outrageous. This is the same reason I permanently deleted Facebook. Getting a ban for saying the word “bitch”. And I was quoting Jesse pinkman! We don’t need to be babysat on the fucking internet. It’s absolutely insane what these companies do.
Got banned for for calling someone a bitch on Facebook also- referring to a guy that was suggesting rape as a way to deal with left wing protestors.
That was when I left and never looked back.
Got banned on Reddit for calling people who dragged a person out of their car to rob them, steal their car- and left them for dead- animals.
That was when I left and never looked back.
Bigots, rapists, and criminals of all sorts are a protected species on social media.
I’ve been going on that site once every couple weeks to catch up on some videos and saw the one you just mentioned the other day. I kept thinking the same thing. Dude is taking your keys and causing you to be stranded. Hit him.
But the guy showed restraint, which is better for cops to take action when they arrive. But getting restricted for that comment is bs.
I once got banned from Reddit for saying that I wished someone would punch the colossal asshole Indiana attorney general in the nose as a sort of punny response to something he said himself. (I can't remember what he said.) It was really clearly a joke. A bunch of people came to my defense and I was unbanned. I should have taken the hint then.
You been referred to the reddit suicide hotline yet? I have a few times.
Not the person you asked but yeah I’ve been referred to that many times.
Oh yes.
Same, but 2011 join date. Modded a bit and was very active. I got banned for warning someone that their phrasing could be a call to action.
I lost two accounts with a combined just-under-one-million karma for calling out a bot scam. Permanently banned, appeal refused. I can’t even create a new account. I’m shadowbanned no matter what I do.
We're the product these companies are selling. Nothing of actual value was lost for you, but immense value was lost to them. Feels good.
