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
11 years. And, honestly I'm kinda grateful. It was time, regardless of the drama, and an unhealthy amount of my screen-existence was being eaten up by it. There seemed to be a slow, insidious change that I was probably sheltered from by keeping to old-reddit, but even then, the whole spez-API-drama wasn't so much of a shock, but more the final nail in the coffin that reddit is, with no doubt, now a full on corporate for-profit website just like any of the other social media giants, and will continue to act more and more like them. I'll admit I didn't delete my account, just the app, and I still check back in every few days to peek in to a few more niche subreddits that there just isn't any replacement for elsewhere (yet), but spending my time elsewhere has been refreshing.
I go back and look at the front page and it's just rage inducing. Fist fights, politics, and doomscrolling. I don't think I've seen a genuinely funny post in years.
