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.

I'd still like to believe that he had some honest intentions before he went full fash. But I guess we'll never know

He's apparently always been an asshole from the many accounts that have come out over the years

IMO the more recent public switch of tone is either too many drugs have scrambled his brain or much more likely someone very powerful has something very bad on him and is using it as a marionette cross-brace to further extremism.

I recommand reading threads.net account of one of his child (she activated federation). She really exposed how he has always been liked that and he is just good at manipulating his public face.

here is the thread:

Good on her for turning out to be what seems like a very reasonable human being, must be hard coming from someone like him, but I presume he had no part in raising her so maybe it makes sense.

That's gotta sting. Family feuds are nothing out of the ordinary, but that is brutal.

Turns out being a weapons-grade arsehole doesn't go unnoticed by your kids.

from what i understand the had a personal pr department for his own image, then he got too full of himself because they did too good of a job making people like him. dumb ass narcissist assumed it was all him and fired the pr team. now he's just himself and everyone hates that.

Maybe he got the brain worms. I’m starting to become more and more concerned about these brain worms. It’s like the adult version of cartoon quicksand. Should I be worried about brain worms?

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

The first sign of brain worms, is worrying about brain worms.

I have to imagine this is about the story of the White House pushing ~~humanoid robot~~ Zuckerberg to stop promoting COVID disinformation...

Fucking absolute scumbags... "If it's a conspiracy it's true! If it's from a scientist it's a conspiracy and conspiracies are fake!"

Much logic. Such smart. Wow
