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.

If the users have a contained place to vent their anger, then they're not leaving the site. Afterwards everyone's got whatever anger was there out of their system. I doubt the "fuck spez" comments hurt reddit at all, and probably barely made him feel bad.
Eh. Would you buy stocks/ads for a platform where the latest iteration of their most engaging and loved event was very heavily dedicated to expressing disapproval of the leadership? A platform that literally holds itself together thanks to the effort of that same complaining community?
Hell, at that point I’d buy ads on Facebook where much less users block them and they’re much more gullible.
Are you sure about that? Since when has having an unlikable cnt EVER hurt an actual company?? Sure, if they're a lying cnt like Elizabeth Holms or the Crypto bro without an actual product, but if they're a lying c*nt who still has a functioning product, they're treated like Elon Musk and fail UPWARDS.
Edit: Ugh, double-post and I cannot find the delete in this crappy app... Ugh the growing pains of fresh tech, like missing basic features...
To add to this very good point, it also fosters a sense of community. Nothing brings people together like hating a CEO. And hey, if you feel like part of a community, you're less likely to leave.
