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.

Imagine running from censorship and going to Lemmy.ml lmao

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Technically correct, but I wonder how people are gonna handle the really serious dictator shit, like friends and relatives disappearing instead of tweets.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I love it, but I fear for the day Lemmy becomes so popular that it is worthwhile for the corporate bots to begin gaming Lemmy’s algorithm to dominate front pages. I don’t think Lemmy is prepared to defend against this.

[–] bayesianbandit@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

I am still new to the fediverse but I figured that smaller constellations will federate without connecting to the largest federation.

It’s harder to manipulate 500 disjoint federations than 1 really large one. Especially when some of those federations rely on heavy verification.

Of course those smaller federations are likely organized around specific purposes or organizing interests rather than broad public discourse.

Here's the thing. A platform is it's users. 2 years ago Lemmy rocked. Now the Redditors are arriving and it's turning into a literal Reddit clone. Open the front page 2 years ago and it was all kinds of exciting and novel stuff. Now it's Trump bad, nazi bad, fascism bad, racism bad, homophobia bad, musk moron, celebrity dead.

edit: Proof received via downvotes. Oldhead Lemmy users know I'm right. Welcome, jackasses, I guess.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 minutes ago

Add filters https://lemmy.world/post/24545370

Makes the experience more bearable.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You realize there's a fascist takeover happening right now, yes? It has nothing to do with redditors and everything to do with current events.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

Um.

A bunch of Reddit assholes showing up in response to that idea, somehow nullifies my point???!

[–] Dezzillion@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

here we go bois

[–] inbeesee@lemmy.world 59 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

So nice that radical activism only requires I switch apps 🥳

[–] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Plot twist: it's a ploy by reddit to get extremists off their platform and on to Lemmy

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

It's a plot twist to overload the servers of single instances.

[–] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 26 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah this thing is worded so strong for what it is

[–] inbeesee@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

I don't know how the French are able to rally in real life and put everything on the line to push back fascism. I know I should do something real to fight back, but like, I've got a lot going on ya know? Maybe I'll be rallied by the time atrocities have already happened, but I hope not.

[–] tino@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

We have unions, a variety of political parties and many organisations who have decades, even a century of experience on how to organise rallyes. The only thing common people have to do it show up. And still, most French won't go even if they sympathise with the message (I almost never do it).

[–] UristMcHolland@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

The main difference being that France is 248,573 mi² (643,801 km2)

The contiguous United States is 3,119,000 mi² (8,080,464.3 km²)

France also has a 3.5x higher population density

Inhabitants/km²

  • France: 124.4

  • United States: 35.2

im kind of embarrassed by how cringe this is and i really hope they dont represent the fediverse

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

I, uh, upvoted the post and reversed it.

Fucking sends people to .ml specifically. Whoosh.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

I despise the way cringe gets used like this, and I still agree 100% with you

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

In this moment, I am euphoric...

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 166 points 14 hours ago (38 children)

Having them pointed towards lemmy.ml is a little concerning.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 25 points 9 hours ago

To be fair, it was apparently posted in r/anarchocommunism, so I'd just chalk it up to knowing your audience. At least it was just .ml, and not grad or hexbear!

[–] guaraguaito@lemmy.blahaj.zone 60 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I made an alternative linking to lemm.ee

because in general this is a good flyer

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 34 points 13 hours ago (13 children)

We should do a bunch of them with varying non-Tankie instances

Like programming.dev or lemmy.blahaj.zone

Or maybe even better, have a small table at the bottom with their focuses

Capitalism destroyed our government, captured our constitution, and is literally ending the world (for humans, don't worry it'll be fine in a few million years and it'll be like we never existed, thank goodness for that).

I find comedy in people likely here due to the greed rot of Spez wanting to go public and now fondling billionaire balls still, here on Lemmy like digital refugees in the wake of capitalism breaking promises to and destroying a community to increase private profit, going "ewww commies and socialists."

Credit where it's due, the capitalist's Orwell game is God tier.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

.ml would be worse than Reddit if they had the same number of users.

[–] Sakychu@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

No, we are going "ewww tankies"

ITT: reddit 2.0 normies (read .world) crying about .ml again

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, us "normies" prefer to go to places that don't ban you for not passing their purity test.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Oh, for fucks sake.

[–] niketunic@lemmy.world 101 points 14 hours ago (26 children)

i left yesterday after 12 years. joined lemmy. the internet was a lot cooler before it was run by billionaires and ass kissers who are intimidated by billionaires.

fuck em all

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Excellent. Every long term power redditor exiting is a good blow to reddit. They're left with all the lurkers who just want to consume content so they'll have to rely more and more on ai slop until people realize it's all fake.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 40 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

i left yesterday after 12 years. joined lemmy.

Welcome!

Here's your welcome-possum:

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

I thought we do welcome beans?

They should really include the no ads thing. I think it's a great selling point, and it would be useful to leverage.
