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:
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.

Reddit privacy moderators recently censored this content over a day after it was posted. IMO the reason is suspicious.
Accessible at Reddit or Reveddit
(There are no subreddit rules banning "political propaganda" or "character assassination." Nor does this comment appear to rise to either of those accusations: other non-removed comments back up the removed one.)
If you hold the view that it's good to call out the bad behavior of Reddit in some discussion forum, then it literally has to be here on the Threadiverse. Surely I don't have to explain to you how impossible it would be to hold power tripping mods and admins accountable on Reddit itself.
For myself, I don't really care that much, I just browse All/Active and block communities that annoy me. I recommend this approach.
Absolutely, reddit was invaded by 4channers and Digg refugees as a foundation. The "culture" of the hivemind there was founded on being a snarky asshole to get internet points. And with that, power is inevitably desired by abusive people. Spez might as well be the posterchild for social media abusers. The mods and admins are just wannabe Spez.
But much like an abusive ex, at some point, people need to stop giving that abuser their energy. Giving it to them means they still have a level of access or influence they don't deserve, and it's a cycle of self harm.
Anyways, back to your point: I browse All and prune as I go. I need to make the time to prune again.
I do see the logic of the "abusive ex" approach and I think I even agree at the individual level, something like "if you want to move on from Reddit, get it completely out of your life."
OTOH, having the only place where people can discuss the abuses and excesses of Reddit is a huge competitive advantage for the network as a whole IMO.
