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.

There's enough ways to hate him without getting into shaming things he can't change.

[–] DigitalFrank@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He can't change that he used to mod a certain sub, and we can certainly shame him for that.

[–] klaus_the_fish@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

True. He deserves to be shamed for that. Either he's a creep or he's incompetent.

No need to bring appearance into it at all.

Are you saying he doesn't deserve to have his feelings hurt?

[–] jhulten@infosec.pub 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

More like "save ad hominem attacks for when you have nothing valid hate"

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Unless they deserve to be made to feel bad about themselves.

[–] jhulten@infosec.pub 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

An attack on a person's features also attacks other people with those features. Trump is fat. I am fat. Trump is a fascist. I am not

Ad hominem attacks are intellectually lazy and have unintentional effects.

If you're a good person, and your face is as asymmetrical as his, you still just look gross. Sorry if that upsets you.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's fine and all but doesn't belong in an adult conversation. Grow up.

[–] threeduck@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well it would be pretty unfortunate if you looked like Steve Huffman but were generally a good guy, and had to listen to people bag on your appearance all day.

Bullying someone for the shitty things they've done is one thing, bullying someone for their genetic physicality is lazy.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 9 months ago

But I'm bullying someone about their appearance FOR the bad things they've done
