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.

Looks like they might actually go after the posters. Thats concerning...

I'd say its just fearmongering, but yeah it looks bleak.

This seems like a slippery slope, they'll start with banning communities like that, where users have genuinely threatened violence, then they'll just start banning all communities which oppose them by making up excuses that get more comical as time goes on, before basically all dissent on it, is gone

Probably too many open calls for violence. Against a white dude. Dont think r/conservative will be blocked soon.

I mean I saw some posts advocating for turning DOGE employees into "pink mist" and going to visit them at their home. I don't see enough Reddit to know if it's a problem in other subs but the fact I saw those messages means they were getting good reach.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

The mods usually remove those comments quickly enough, allthough most of them were just "the people doing this have addresses and names" phrased differently.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 10 points 1 day ago

That's what they are saying, I was browsing it and sure the sentiment was spicey... But "open calls for violence" is hyperbolic.

This is censorship of public sentiment again. Same as they did with Luigi. This is the norm going forward. They don't like seeing people uniting around the idea that we don't care if parasites die... In fact we celebrate it!

And now SubredditDrama post is locked. Wow.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

They are scared of the same thing happening

Elon musk complained (quoted an account totally not operated by him) about r/whitepeopletwitter (reddit equivalent of !whitepeopletwitter@lemmy.world) commenting stuff along the lines of "these people are doing a lot of shit for people who are flammable" and "these people have names and addresses". As usual, spez only did anything because a lot of people were complaining.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 5 points 1 day ago

That's not even legally a threat lol

Just shit posters doing they thang haha

Not exactly,

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago

A lot of people started calling for violence against Musk's cronies at DoGE.

I don't know if it was "a lot" or "basically all of them" though, /u/spez is a trumpet so who knows.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Faschism influence maybe.

[–] quinceyBones@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 day ago

Reddit is a Nazi site, so the usual happened.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Reddit alleged that mods were not removing comments calling for "violence"

I dont understand why people just buy this narrative as face value as ESP here lol

Lemmy.world mods consider anything favourable to luigi as call for violence...

[–] DisposeFelons@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's obvious that trolls and bad actors from far right subs and x are contributing to leftist subs being shut down

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 1 day ago

That's the thing... The most extreme view points are either bad faith actors or the feds.

Then mods or police can get involved. This is a classic set up.

I don't understand why adult people on here who act like this behavior is in good faith.

Any quality shit poster can express themselves in legal manner hence why Lemmy.world mods went from "inciting violence is illegal" to any support for luigi is a ban.

They don't care about legality, it is about supressing anti regime sentiments

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

The funny part is, the mods were removing comments like that, the sheer amount of them just made it hard to do so.
