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.

MODERATORS
 

I found that the members of r/luckystar were saying very sexual things about characters that, while 18, had very child like designs. And even if, they were saying shit like, "Cunny!" and, "Correction!" so, yeah.

I constantly reported all posts and comments like that I came across and eventually made a post asking why they were saying things like that. I wasn't hostile, and was in fact, rather calm about the situation. Meanwhile, they were all extremely rude and hostile towards my post, calling me names and such, and about 20 minutes later, my account was shadowbanned.

So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos, they didn't even have the decency to tell me what I did wrong. Assuming how it all happened so suddenly, I'm just gonna assume the pedos all mass-reported my account for God knows what. Any and all appeals I've mad since then received no response.

I still stuck around for a few months after that, [that whole deal happened back in May of 2025.] but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.

Tonight, I finally put my foot down and said, "I quit!" I discovered this website and made an account here. I guess you can use this post to welcome me to the Fediverse.

I always say this to people who have left Reddit for some reason and land on Lemmy:

Brother, you left New York and landed in New Jersey. It's the same doom here, if not worse. We are reddit's Alaska, made up of weirdos, outcasts, the socially damned, and Linux-philliacs.

Welcome, but don't get too excited.

I really don't understand what both you and OP mean with "leftist doomerism". I can completely understand if you have a different leaning and don't wish to be part of a community that mostly disagrees with you, but is talking of the problems of the world "doomerism" to you?

lemmy.world is very similar to reddit in many ways

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 4 points 12 hours ago

I'm banned from "You Should Know" and only found out recently, got no clue why. Reminds me of those random reddit bans.

Do you have another account or something? Yours is only four days old lol. Do you like specifically look for people who left Reddit or something?

[–] BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I switched instances, yeah. And there's a post about someone leaving reddit like every other day.

This isn't like reddit at all! Not even a bit! Here the up votes are blue!

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

No it's red. Everyone can have their own prefered expreience, unlike over on reddit, where you must do as corporate demands.

Bend over for Lord Spez, like a good boy!

I was gonna mention that line in my own comment, but I'm glad someone else mentioned it.

This place is literally the exact opposite of reddit in that regard. We welcome the overwhelming leftist political dooming. It grounds us in reality.
