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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
It's dying. An event that was literally unthingkable a few months ago and was probably unachievable a few weeks ago.
Little by little, reddit is crumbling. The number of userbase doesn't matter now. If the spam bots overtake reddit, then it's over for them.
Yeah, people going "hurr durr the protests don't matter" aren't seeing the bigger picture. True, the protests were ineffective at best in changing Spez's mind, but the thing they're protesting will end up destroying Reddit because crippling mod tools is going to cause spam to explode on the platform.
I believe 90% of those "hurr durrs" were bots by Spez trying to psyops the protests and failing like the dipship that he is.
Yeah, I had some suspicions on a few subreddits where suddenly the Spez Defense Force was out en masse to shit on normal users & moderators alike. SubredditDrama as a specific example felt super off compared to the vibe there I was used to as a long time lurker, like you're telling me the most upvoted comments on like every post are suddenly all people whining about the protests and how entitled moderators are, not users enjoying the popcorn and chaos? Hmmmm.
The government in my country are going to collapse, things what live under rocks know it, and it's basically the same thing. They have managed to dilute themselves into believing that they're all right that they're fine that they don't need to change anything that they will succeed.
Basically everyone else is watching from the sidelines, with popcorn, because we all given up trying to convince them to change.
He is truly a brainless prat.
This was my last comments on reddit. We aren't just protesting the changes because we support 3rd party and mods - we protest so the community can stay there.
I'm genuinely surprised how quickly they managed to fuck up reddit this bad. How long did it take, a month?
yeah, more or less. but I appreciate them speeding it up, since, you know, taking into account our short attention span.
