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.

I have the opposite impression of the over-moderarion. Most Redditors seem to be annoyed by it, and against how it's stifling conversations

Though that may be the case with references to Luigi, they'll happily abide by much senseless moderation like

  • blanket blocks of comments containing links of any kind in subreddits such as r/mildlyinfuriating
  • blocks of meta discussions
  • strange ideas of brigading that treat a link to a post in another subreddit as "community inference"
  • practical bans of subreddits airing grievances about bad moderation
  • blocking any insult even when it doesn't amount to harassment
  • blocking any expression of violence even when it's not incitement until it swings back & strikes against expressions of class consciousness that refer to Luigi.

With newer platforms like mastodon & bluesky, it seems like more of the same: their advocates often gush proudly of their robust moderation & claim that their extra moderation is indispensable to a safe, non-toxic experience.

I think all we need from moderation is removal of illegal content & perhaps offloading of off-topic content somewhere else. Rather than block offensive content, they could label it & let users decide whether to filter it out. Bluesky already does this, but they hardcode their in-house moderation, so users can't opt out as we saw when they blocked the Trump toe-sucking Elon deepfake video.

bluesky is much very afraid of trump/elon admin what they will do the platform, since t hey did not kiss thier ass during inaugaration like META, YOUTUBE, AND REDDIT DID, and tiktok too.
