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.

As part of this, we made a decision to sunset coins (...) and awards (...)

(...) all awards and existing coins will continue to be available until September 12, 2023.

Longer than the warning they gave for the API changes!

Gotta rush for that IPO money!

Why September 12? what a weird date... one day after 9/11, wtf lol. Was this announced on the 12 July (I'm not going to reddit) so maybe it's one month after the announcement.

two months is an eternity for reddit management

Reddit sure loves it's two month notification period.

verbed the shit out of that noun

[–] Machefi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is actually used as a verb, as ending something slowly and gradually, so as not to cause sudden and disrupting changes.

Sunsetting Python 2 for example lasted 12 years (extended from original plan of 7 years).

Yeah it's corporate wank-speak, I'm not a fan.
