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.

I can't get rid of it, it's obnoxious. I've tried filtering the element with my adblocker but it keeps reappearing. As much as I find Reddit useful (unfortunately), especially for information and discussion relating to my country, I will never install their proprietary garbage app on my phone just to use their website.

Oh well. I've used the Internet before Reddit existed, I'm sure I can get used to doing so again.

No North Korea is an authoritarian regime that doesn't even claim to be communist anymore.

Sadly I'm involved in American left politics which means I have met freaks that think China is better than the US, and would defend the USSR, I'm not quite sure if they'd defend "DP"RK, but frankly they are annoying so I have as little to do with them as possible.

I’ve met people who were like the lite version of them, but maybe they just don’t say it to me but do on Lemmy.

Yeah there is a lot of keyboard warrioring involved, much like white nationalists, get them out from their basement and they'll try and act normal though.

Yeah, in wasn't trying to imply you'd be pro D. P. R. K. in ~~Cincinnati~~ Pyongyang because you identified as commie. More like it's just kind of head scratching to see people dismiss criticism of them or Pol Pot or something, because the US also did atrocious crazy things too, like they both aren't fucking horrific.

I'm just not used to anyone being apologetic about anything a 'communist' country does. Im used to people trying to distance themselves them from the actions of certain countries if they call themselves a communist, which makes seeing people lean into seem interesting. I just didn't want to use the Reddit app so wasn't expecting this major shift
