The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

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.

Just like youtube, they think they made this.
What they don't get is that they are actually passengers on other peoples creativity.
It'll be fine. Just need to keep investing in opensource, openaccess alternatives.
We guccii.
YouTube at least has the advantage of being really fucking hard to replace by an independent third party. Whereas Reddit is an extremely easy formula to copy and requires minimal server costs.
I mean, floatplane is pretty much there.
Not to mention peertube, which, well, isnt there, but could get there.
Nether of those can replace youtube
Floatplane is nowhere near close. Floatplane is only good for established creators with dedicated fanbases who are willing to pay, although admittedly it is really good for that. There are ways FP could start to encroach on YT but its still a long way off.
YouTube's monetization is so hard to replicate on a less-trafficked website, and it's their sheer volume of traffic + monetization which allows a lot of the content creators on youtube to exist. I actually think it's a great example of a regulated market and one of the best mainstream platforms that has everything from the most mainstream to the most niche content.
