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.

runs from censorship

goes to Lemmy.ml

I think that kind of defeats your point here

[–] archchan@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

.world straight up blocks /c/piracy and "preemptively" blocked hexbear.

[–] expr@programming.dev 4 points 39 minutes ago

Blocking hexbear is a sensible choice, good for them.

lemmy.dbzer0.com then? 😎

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 19 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine running from censorship and going to Lemmy.ml lmao

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

Right? Way to destroy a movement and make a bunch of people run back to Reddit and "never again".

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 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 18 points 9 hours ago (2 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.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 minutes ago* (last edited 5 minutes ago)

I think we might reach a point that, instead of one application in the beginning, we'd have to have periodic "re-verification" to prove that you are human (and haven't been taken over by a bot). Like maybe once every 6 months. And on the 5th month, you can begin early submission for the re-verification application.

[–] bayesianbandit@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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.

You might want to have a look at https://gui.fediseer.com/

Part of what makes Reddit so great is the huge community of content creators. Both the posts and comments. Lemmy has slowly been catching up, but still is far off.

Defederating from large instances will just result in lower quality content for those instances. I would hope there’d be a better solution, but I’m not smart enough to think of one.

Maybe the secret is to let each instance control their own sorting algorithm. They keep getting the content from the large instances, but control how it gets brought to the front page. My guess is this would be no small task, but that would definitely make it difficult to game the algorithm.

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] inbeesee@lemmy.world 71 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

So nice that radical activism only requires I switch apps 🥳

[–] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 35 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

Yeah this thing is worded so strong for what it is

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

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] Dezzillion@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

here we go bois

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 177 points 17 hours ago (38 children)

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 34 points 13 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 68 points 17 hours ago (18 children)

I made an alternative linking to lemm.ee

because in general this is a good flyer

[–] ChadMcTruth@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 59 minutes ago

Seriously. People need to understand they can shop around for an instance that fits them better.

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.

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

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

I, uh, upvoted the post and reversed it.

Fucking sends people to .ml specifically. Whoosh.

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

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

What up big dog

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours 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.
