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
Why are so many people openly hostile towards redditors? Are you trying to get us to leave?
What you're failing to realize is that Lemmy needs new users in order to grow. You may not like the bitching, but it keeps conversations going which drives more engagement to the site.
Stop trying to push people away from the platform. People need an alternative to reddit. They've been a monopoly since 2010; it's time for that to change. Won't happen if redditors don't want to come here because they feel unwanted.
So please, try to chill the fuck out. And leave us be.
agreed, redditors are welcomed in the fediverse!
You are welcome. It's just some users that didn't get their hug from mom today.
They got here from Reddit 5 minutes earlier, so that makes them OG lemmings and gives them the right to shit on the latecomers, don't you know? ๐
Uhm, dude has his account for two months, so I think it's save to assume he also is a Reddit refuge. Oh, you know what, it actually says so in his profile.
Am a reddit refuge. Not trying to push anyone out, but we have the chance to change the old ways before they take hold here.
Also, as I stated in my post, I think that something of great value was lost. reddit was valuable. I still get reddit links in most of the things i search for (actually, it feels like even more now) for basically any specific computer or technology questions I'm looking into. Half the time it's deleted, half the time I can't see the thread without logging in and I'd really rather stand my ground.
So yeah, for better or for worse, the internet just experienced some big-ass brain drain. I'd say that was something of value.
Fuck /u/spez though
