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
While I understand the sentiment, Spez was astroturfing when I left, and appears he still is. If a chunk of users chose to lurk to twist his nipples, let them. It’s their time and and if anyone deserves trolling, it’s the guy who had thousands of alts.
"I'm going to own my ex-girlfriend by mailing her a check for $100 and writing 'fuck you' on the memo line. When she deposits the money into her bank account she will be totally trolled."
Well, when they IPO this is the kind of stuff that will turn off potential investors, so that's where it'll hurt spez.
Do you honestly think it'll hurt their valuation because somebody said something mean about the CEO? You do realize some of the most profitable companies on this planet have nearly universally hated CEOs, right? Being hated is like 90% of the job because they take the heat for the company as a whole.
Engagement metrics are up, that's all that counts.
The real numbers here would be close to $ 0.00001 which would be more than acceptable prank
Each click adds up to a number on a PowerPoint slide presented in investment meetings.
"...and here's how we'll monetize it!"
This is more like 1000 checks with 0.001$
I never said I would do it myself, but it’s their time to waste. Not to mention with everything the way it is, sometimes people have to choose the battles they stand for.
