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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Never thought Reddit is so shady.
had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.
Welcome. I was on Reddit for more than a decade. It was fun while it lasted but we are all better here on Lemmy.
I was in a similar situation karma-wise. I was happy there until I saw how ruthless the mods could be. This is a better alternative to all that.
Killem with kindness
Welcome! Similar story. I upvoted on a long standing account and got warned. Not sure which upvote did it. I’ve got a few hundred thousand karma across accounts. Had a fair share of OC hitall. Pretty typical engaged user.
Then I tried to help someone in a niche sub with buying bedding. And auto admin mod kept removing my comment post. Then the sub mods messaged me and said they tried to make my comment visible multiple times and couldn’t override the admin.
Then I followed mod advice and reposted my helpful comment only to get an auto banned on all accounts from the admin for “spam” (for two comments? Really?). The sub admin were able to override the ban and reinstate me since I did nothing wrong.
It’s way too frustrating to deal with. Out of the past year like 800 normal/helpful comments of mine have been shadow removed or admin removed.
At that point I’m just talking to myself. After 12 years, I never thought I’d leave Reddit but here we are. Happy to be on Lemmy.
13 years and change here and yesterday I did the deed of hand deleting my years of comments and posts - wiped out my RES settings - deleted my account and that's it. Big time nostalgia going back through all those comments though,
Exaaactly!!
They put in so much effort to stop bots (restricting new accounts alot: read experiences how they wont directly let you know that stuff isnt loading anymore, read about hidden scores and also I remember years back in the beginning how confusing and weird the system was towards me with errors not allowing to post being "unavailable", etc)
And then, they dont offer any supports like ticket systems for actual humans to apply and seek dialogue. (I mean they do, but its all automated responses into complete support restriction after deny without any non-automated input)
They really dont care about the users. And its has the same silicon valley agenda behind it. Especially with the accumulated changes to algorithms. It seems so based on baiting user's interaction rather than seeking genuine connection and helpfulness
And its shocking how hidden this issue is on reddit. And people talking about reddit: all criticism you hear is how its a bubble (esp politically used). But nobody talks about how crazy the handling of users is. I literally been seperated.
Maybe thats the essence of mentioned bubble issue in disguise after all
i was annoyed how many foxnews articles was being posted on subs, do you people take fox news as serious enws?
some niche subs are super sensitive if you contradict them, something like r/gym bans you for even mentioning PEDS. i was responding someone qouting rob machelenny from isaip, said if he was juiced he would get that big, which was true by his own admission.
Fox news legally isn't news in the US, its entertainment.
Ye im still somewhat looking into reddit (also to just realize what similar communities I should follow here)
There's just so many whack websites as basis for discussion. Like newsgeek or other tabloids and people act like it's the most official matter.
Feels like everyone only reads the headline and starts mashing their keyboards. And your reception tends to be less text = lie. The recent behavior and interaction feels similar to today's Twitter in terms of rage induction, just for nerds
i was pointing out some of them are russian back sources which is just as bad.
Welcome!
It's been very wholesome so far.
Thank you :)
