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.
Help me understand: was this a subreddit you participated in for months or longer, before encountering a wave of objectifying comments? Or is it more like, you were a newb to the sub when you started pestering mods about a tone that was already established as normalized there?
Lemmy moderators and Reddit moderators are the exact same people, dude.
"Speaking out against pedos" is ableist language in exactly the same way that "speaking out against schizos" or "speaking out against neurotics" would be. Pedophiles and child molesters are in reality mostly disjoint groups. (That means they are not the same group of people.) Pedophiles don't automatically molest children, just like straight men don't automatically rape women. Most people who molest children are not sexually attracted to children at all; sexual assault is not about sexual attraction!!
If you mean child molester, say "child molester."
If you're the type to needlessly argue the difference, you're putting a very distinct hat on that says "I am emotionally invested in people's perception of child abusers" and I say child abusers as a catch-all for those who are in any way attracted to kids. Because pedos and child rapists are in the same group whether they touch kids or not.
It's similar, in my mind at least, to trying to separate the original WW2 nazis from modern day nazis by saying "The modern ones aren't gassing minorities and invading poland so you HAVE to clarify which one's you're talking about." As if they weren't all part of the same group.
In terms of what I'm actually trying to get across; be very wary of who you defend when trying to police speech, especially on the internet.
I understand nuance is a thing but even I had to stop myself from assuming you're the same as the "ackshually its ephebophilia so they're not a pedo" crowd
Pedantic but technically true. However language is fluid and context influences the decoding of meaning.
constant reporting can apparently result in a ban, because "you reported too much" or whatever reason. reddit allows alot more bots to astroturf the site than usual. reddits far-left community is quite small compared to here. its more or lest center right beliefs.
reporting seems to be a extremely futile exercise on reddit, because only gets you banned in the end anyways.
And even if, they were saying shit like, "Cunny!" and, "Correction!" so, yeah.
Genuine question, what does this mean? Is this slang about minors?
You'd be correct. When freaks like that see minor characters, they start saying shit like, "UOHUH CUNNY 😭💢" and, "BRAT NEEDS CORRECTION! 😭💢".
Now, to explain, "Cunny", [sometimes referred to as Cute and Funny to trick the censors and other people.] is a slang term they made for a minor female character's private parts. As for "Correction", they mean a bratty little girl needing, "correction." and by that, they mean... well, yeah.
So even IF they were attracted to their personalities, [which I'd understand, after all they are 18 and fictional characters.] They're basically self-reporting doing shit like that.
[Typing all that shit out is probably gonna get my account banned, but I just want to inform you.]
I don't think you're gonna get banned. You're not describing anything lewd (as in an act), just explaining the terms.
the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
...So you came here? 🤨
Ah yes, the Fediverse the bastion for check notes anarchists, socialists, communists, and other leftists. With three instances being known as the Tankie Triad. The major conservative communities are for leftists to make fun of conservatives.
Yup, no extreme left political thinking here.
Your mental block will never allow you to understand this but reddit is a right wing pedo shithole.
I got myself IP range banned lol. Why? I think the comments that triggered staff initially was saying establishment Democrats are scum on worldnews. That's all it took.
After that I kept making new accounts with various combinations of "spez" and "micro penis" while advertising Piefed everywhere and that pissed someone higher up off big time.
but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
I always say this to people who have left Reddit for some reason and land on Lemmy:
Brother, you left New York and landed in New Jersey. It's the same doom here, if not worse. We are reddit's Alaska, made up of weirdos, outcasts, the socially damned, and Linux-philliacs.
Welcome, but don't get too excited.
lemmy.world is very similar to reddit in many ways
I'm banned from "You Should Know" and only found out recently, got no clue why. Reminds me of those random reddit bans.

Do you have another account or something? Yours is only four days old lol. Do you like specifically look for people who left Reddit or something?
I switched instances, yeah. And there's a post about someone leaving reddit like every other day.
I was banned as well for commenting too much against the zionists... pedos and zionists are not allowed topics in there... welcome to Lemmy, btw
