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
I got banned simply for logging into the site with a VPN supposedly for ban evasion. I had never been banned previously.
You're not alone and it really is that pants-on-head dumb. They have so many users that it doesn't matter. They don't care if some legit users get banned.
I got banned from pcmasterrace for mentioning the old precursor to hydrohomies. Seeing as how it contained the "n word", I took precaution to censor myself and use asterisks, "water******". I was banned just for insinuating the name of the subreddit. Nevermind the subreddit was good-natured, open and friendly to all (except soda drinkers). And of course the mod that banned me was was telling me bullshit in my appeal like "quit trying to be cute". What an asshole.
Apparently there's very few actual mods, so they've all become jaded fuckasses who just automatically assume you're the most low down scum imaginable if you break the rules and appealing the ban is just you trying to get a platform to sea lion at them.
Yeah, I really hate "career mods" who run hundreds of subreddits. Theres people who do it because they love their community and want to see it thrive, and then theres career mods who do it because they lust over having power.
I don't feel sorry for them at this point.
I would be bitter too if I did free work for a guy making 190 mill a year. Reddit mods are the saddest of usefull idiots
sea lion ๐ what a great description!
Can someone explain this reference?
Look up "2014 sea lion comic"
See this comic strip for reference:
On the internet it has become common to refer to the sort of behaviour that the sea lion from the comic is showing as "sealioning".
I got permabanned for making a topically-relevant meme reference lol
"quit trying to be cute" as if a powertripping mod should be allowed to have anything to say or do about people seeing your messages or not....
Someone else using the VPN's gateway was banned, and reddit doesn't give a shit and just bans anyone who uses it.
I know 2 people caught in VPN bans, neither of them had ever even received a warning before.
