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.
along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you're allowed to see
Since the enshittification of most "free" (as in: "you're the product") search engines, I've always had to do "[search term] + reddit" to get unsponsored, not AI-slop search results. Off topic, but still.
Not sure how good reddit is for that half the time now tbh
you see half of reddit is mostly AI/ or bots. you arent missing much.
yeah I don't even bother with adding it to search terms anymore
Then you have AI generated web pages turning up now, giving advice that could result in death if you followed it with foraging info.
Firefox with the UDM14 plugin, and Google doesn't give me that ai crap anymore.
Google doesn't give me that AI crap anymore because I don't use Google anymore.
Fair. I didn't realize how embedded into my life I've let those fuckers get until I started looking into de-Googling. So for me it's gonna be a slow process, but I'll get there! Recently repurposed an OpenWRT One (a banana pi in a branded case, basically, for those who don't know) into a home server to start learning about self hosting, which I expect will help immensely on my quest.
Honestly, I still use Google Docs, just because it's incredibly useful for collaborating with normies without needing to get them to sing up for new shit. And because certain parts of my routine workflow are pretty dependent on it.
But Google Search? I haven't used Google to search for anything for ... well, for years now. Duck Duck Go works fine. It also tried to have AI bullshit, but at least it lets you turn the AI bullshit off easily and permanently.
Thanks for the tip! Gonna look up that plugin.
