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.

I recently deleted my +10y (cant remember anymore how old it was) old account. I had not logged in with it since the first exodus.

In my time, I started from the old reddit, saw the changes to more modern UI twice. I "collaborated" with the pixel art canvas event. (twice?) (last was fullout among us dithering) And finally saw the full revolt against spez that ended my journey there. (plus the complete enshittification of the reddit app)

Why does everyone still care so much about what Reddit does?

[–] Knittenbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I came here at the suggestion of others on reddit. I'm still trying to figure out how to find the groups/info that I'm interested in. Looking forward to conversations where comments are unnecessarily removed.

Hell yeah brother.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

r/europe was as much of a right-wing cesspool as r/worldnews since forever. You all were fine with that.
Now look at all of you crybabies bcs the full on fascist tok over from your precious fascist lite.
Anyone wo wasn't banned waaaay before has clearly not had the balls to even mildly criticise a genocide or whatever.
Bunch of manufactured consent tools, and then think they are in some way more respectable.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

Because they are Nazi sympathizers.

[–] Zerberr@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago

Because reddit is pro-nazi dump, of course. That's why we're here, isn't it?

Tesla is losing a pile of cash, anyone know how low it needs to go until Musk is going to get a margin call and the whole thing comes crumbling down? He has leveraged himself to the max.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 44 minutes ago

Tesla isn't really losing anything except a bunch of fake market value. It was incredibly overvalued, and now this market correction is sorting itself out.

~$100 was what I've seen claimed, but I dont think anyone but the Saudis really know.

I deleted my reddit account yesterday. I used Revedit and I realised that most of the comments I had made on there had been removed or hidden without me ever realising...

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I was blown away by how many completely normal comments (just part of discussions, not even political) have been removed. Pretty sure reddit automod is broken and I'm not sure if reddit devs are even aware of it

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 6 points 5 hours ago

I deleted my account yesterday too, I came to Lemmy on the API Exodus and very occasionally checked Reddit but never came around to delete my account until now. Same with my Twitter account.

[–] iamai@lemm.ee 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Perma banned for a mild comment on some post about billionaires.. oh well

[–] Bishopfrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Same, the french would've had my back

[–] Adiemus@lemm.ee 30 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I just deleted my reddit account. 🤟😎

[–] AccursedFish@lemm.ee 11 points 7 hours ago

Same. Too much censorship, too many bots

[–] Tungsten5@lemm.ee 17 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

This is so sad to see. I had many years of fun on reddit. I wish it wouldnt have become so commercialized. Money just ruins shit too often

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 8 points 7 hours ago

There should be a law that when you go public ipo you have to change your brand name. It ain’t Reddit anymore.

wait, you mean ash cans and unobtainable dollars aren't the thing we should all be aspiring to?

[–] pixelpure@lemm.ee 43 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Reddit sure loves to protect U.S. fascists.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

all the big media corporations do. so weird. probably a coincidence.

Just the US ones?

👀

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 30 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It's become pretty clear that Reddit has chosen to slide into corpo-fascism. Don't be surprised when signs of dissent are squashed, when rebellious subreddits are systematically suppressed until they're removed entirely, when the accounts of those who resist are closed and IP banned. Abandon all hope of free expression there, they've chosen their side and aren't going to entertain the opposition any longer.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 22 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

After 12 years, and nearly a million karma, i was permabanned right after HitlerPig was inaugurated, for repeating an opinion that i have stated many times. Nobody ever said a word until HitlerPig was in office, then suddenly I was permabanned. I came over to Lemmy, only to find i wasn't alone.

I suspect the reason is because Ohanion wamts to buy TikTok, and he knows that HitlerPig will be making the decision personally, based on who smooches his ass, follows his orders, and pays the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he abandons Reddit's doctrine of Free Speech.

[–] berno@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Reddit’s doctrine of Free Speech.

lol. this is the company that to this day makes zero mention of Aaron Swartz as a cofounder.

[–] tischbier@feddit.org 2 points 4 hours ago

Man that is such a painful travesty. I can’t imagine trashing your friend and cofounder into the trash like that after what happened. We will remember Aaron.

This is the advantage of decentralized platforms like Lemmy. One billionaire can't screw things up for millions of users. They would have to take over all 600 Instances in many different countries to control it.

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

And then someone would just make a new instance or platform anyways lol

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 0 points 4 hours ago

LOL. have you tried feddit de/org

it is not the platform that is a problem. it is humans. like in homo sapiens. and it is illegal to go to next level homo sapiens sapiens because it makes the dumb kida know they arw stupid.
