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
Because of there is too much people from SNABC categories of Late Majority and Laggards still exist there. And I would even say that the spread is disproportionate, so these 2 groups are bigger than they should be. Especially Laggards.
While the Fediverse still hasn't passed the Early Adopters group.
P. S. SNABC stands for social network adoption bell curve.
It’s that too many people still use Reddit
These automated bans based on where you post are the dumbest way to run subs.
.ml left the chat.
I'm pretty new to the Lemmy/Piefed realm. Is there something up with .ml's? Is it about the Lemmy creator? I've seen mention they are a bit odd.
They’re authoritarian bootlickers that worship China/Russia and ban anyone that argues against their propaganda.
Whoa.
Yeah. Not an exaggeration. Check the comm MeanwhileOnGrad and see for yourself. Also, the modlogs show all their bans.
It’s fucking embarrassing.
Thanks!
tl;dr: tankies
Gotta consolidate your power and leverage it to shit down competitors. That was you can sell “promoted” content unchecked.
I like how Reddit admins will go after a user for breaking rules like circumventing an uncalled for ban from a bot and there's no way to appeal. But the moment you report a mod or community for blatantly breaking the rules you'll get a ban for abusing the report function.
Stop using Reddit, learn from others.
LOL. This is new most hilarious reason to get banned in my collection.
The sad thing is it isn't new. The mod message explaining the ban may be new, but banning for commenting in another subreddit has been happening for years.
There should be a term for this similar in meaning to racism/nazism.
It's called being pathetic.
Did you comment on /r/whenthe?
Also fuck /r/pics. One of the first subreddit I block whenever I setup reddit.
Not too much different from a lot of .world and .ml mods here. Weirdly, in Reddit’s defense, most of them at least don’t pretend they’re not assholes.
I also got site-wide banned for a week!
the large subs like pics ban much more easily even more than political ones. one of my first bans in a account last decade was r/pics. this was before the trump madness took over reddit.
im banned in over 80 subreddits and im proud of it :3
I am permanently banned because cry baby mod didnt like my comment and got all my accounts banned because i used throw away 🤦♀️
