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
One thing this article made me think about, and hasn't been part of the conversation. Is that Reddit's path of enshittification means that what's next on the chopping block are admins.
If Spez (fuck him) is really on the path of emulating Musk's style of decision making and ideologically confused fascism. Then that means that not only is this thing meant to be just to keep the boat afloat until IPO. But it also means that a lot more changes will come that will start hurting employees as well.
This is why admins are probably hesitant to speak up about what is actually happening inside the company. The early mail about the protest was leaked, which I think showcases that there's at least some discontent with the managerial decisions among employees and admins.
Make no mistake, they are next, massive layoffs will probably ~~follow~~ continue and be more and more frequent now that revenue is down. I don't really think that most employees are too hype with the crypto garbage pivot either. Everyone's livelihood in that company is in jeopardy now that we know the CEO is willing to destroy everything and everyone just to ensure his paycheck at the end of his own Ponzi scheme.
Reddit already fired 5% of their staff before this. Though you're right that there is probably more on the way.
