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.

Permanently banned from Reddit for replying to the mods of sub Wild_Politics with "What rules? Snowflakes much?"
(lemmy.world)
I unfortunately misclicked on a cross post to a progressive sub and wound up in the comments section of /r/Wild_Politics, in that sub everyone was praising the use of homophobic slurs in a TikTok by senate candidate Valentina Gomez in regard to the Olympian Imane Khelif. I simply explained that if Imane was indeed XY then she would have an intersex condition called Total Androgen Insensitivity and explained what that was and why it didn't make them trans or gay. /r/Wild_Politics then banned me citing I broke their rules, so I looked up their rules to see what they had on the books, surprised to see only a single BS rule, I replied to the ban message with "What rules? Snowflakes much?" which apparently is abhorrent harassment worthy of banning my 12 year old Reddit account and both of my alternate accounts.
Granted I did one muse about how terrible it would be if a local neonazi whose vehicle was photographed and posted on my local subreddit's car were to somehow catch fire and the owner were to get horribly burned trying to put it out. That earned me a 3 day ban by the admins. This was the only other interaction with reddit admins.
I've since appealed the decision which was immediately denied. I've also contacted reddit support via the form and gotten nothing but crickets. Apparently if I lived in the EU I'd have rights to arbitration to dispute the decision, but since I'm in the USA I'm just boned and banned from ever participating there again. Considering their intense ban evasion methods if I did ever want to use Reddit again, I'd have to use a privacy browser and make sure to never sign in on it with an account I've had tied to my phone in the past.
Are the reddit admins known for being right wing defenders or something? How is "Snowflakes much" suitable cause to permanently band an active reddit user with a pretty spotless track record of a dozen years?
ಠ_ಠ
I've just submitted another reddit support request for this, but it seems they don't care.
