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:
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.
So yeah... maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).
I hope they don’t end up over here. “Power mods” are just the worst.
I got banned from a sub for a relatively tame normal opinion about something or other, like a video game or something. Sent a mod mail asking what happened and what could I do to make it right, got muted and then banned from 10 more subs immediately.
I just nuked my 15 year 750k karma account after giving him a piece of mind to each modmail box. I'll absolutely burn the earth before letting some internet loser feel like he runs my life lol.
Yup, that sounds like AwkwardTheTurtle.
I got banned from r/entertainment for criticizing Lizzo's outfit when the whole crystal flute nontroversy happened, nothing racial, nothing about her weight or about the flute-playing itself, just that I thought her outfit she was wearing looked trashy. BANNED. Reddit has been on the decline for awhile now. I just wish I could filter out ANY news of Reddit on other sites, it's kind of annoying how much sites like Lemmy.world still lean on Reddit for content instead of trying to do their own thing.
Oh yeah I hate how many posts are just Reddit links.
Do people not know you still help by visiting?
(they don't, people are dumb 😂)
Yea, I've been going cold turkey since 6/11. I thought the whole point was to NOT GO so that Reddit could see how unpopular its decision was. It kind of feels like people are just not bothering with even trying to protest. I'm sure those that stick around will have a series of annual "that's it, I'm done" moments coming in the future as Reddit makes more and more unpopular decisions and people just put up with it because they couldn't even go a few weeks without visiting the site. I've already made my peace with the fact that Reddit is gone and I'm ready to move on. At this point I'd be more conflicted if they actually backed down on their stupid API policy and let 3rd party apps back on.
That's how I lost my original 10+ year Reddit account.
Someone would just start their own lemmy instance if the mods are unreasonable.
How does that solve the issue? If you are banned from a community you won't be able to post or comment to it
You create your own community. If the mods are jerks, you can convince people to switch.
I haven't looked at the names of who have re-started up all the most popular communities from reddit, but I would expect to see some familiar usernames....
