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.

It's better here anyway. Spez has banned everyone and there's only bots left.
I already made this account a while ago, but never really got into Lemmy so much, since it's so damn hard to post videos here - that is the main reason I still used Reddit more - you can just drop videos there without having to use other video platforms that require you to make an account too,...
debatable that it's better here, the ideal is to use nothing.
sure, it's a lot less fashy on lemmy, but goddamn there are some shockingly dense motherfuckers on this website that are worse than redditors. the top comment on basically every article posted to lemmy is someone aggressively and angrily asking a deeply ignorant rhetorical question for attention, and it's usually answered by the article. at least reddit sometimes has a decent comment at the top.
i swear half of lemmy is just people going "i literally don't understand this simple thing and it's also the stupidest thing i've ever heard" when in reality it's just a bunch of people inside of a social bubble that don't understand the actual world around them, like, at all. and i don't mean just politically, i mean generally.
never going back to reddit but there are just so many shamefully stupid people on lemmy, it's grating.
you can block those instances, and communities. tankies are the worst, and a few instances for some reaso blahaj will ban you for anything too.
Everybody reading this: IKR, those idiots are so frustrating.
I literally don't understand how you could just come out and say the stupidest thing in the world ;)
Yeah lemming's brains are melted. Literacy in the bit.
Commenting on an article without reading it should carry the penalty of a day in the stocks.
Sometimes I want to know what actually happened in the article to know if it's worth reading without giving some clickbait bullshit the benefit of my clicks.
Asking for a title adjustment, mirror, or source of a transcript with intent to read shall be a valid defence under the law. However said comment must not otherwise violate the tenants of the law nor contain inducements for others to do so.
ehhh. the nsfw community is a bit lacking. which, like it or not, drives user engagement and boosts content creation.
We defederated the NSFW instance because they allow a fauxbait community.
What is fauxbait, you may wonder? Well, you've probably heard of jailbait, which is nudes of children who look like adults. Fauxbait is faux jailbait. It's nudes of adults who look like children who look like adults.
And often these are regular consenting adult porn models, who look like adults, but some pervert went "nyehehe these women look like children" and posted them to this community. And I think that's degrading and harmful to these women's livelihoods. I wouldn't want someone to look at My boobs and decide I looked like a kid.
Furthermore, according to Australian law, framing a picture as child porn (or fake child porn) makes it child porn. It's kinda the same problem as the 4000 year old dragon who looks like a little girl.
Is it better than r/jailbait and all the pedo shit on Reddit? Sure. But it's still pedo shit, and I want a social network with zero pedo shit.
cool.
