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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MAGA style 'free speech' where we're all free to have the opinions of right wing christian bigots forced onto us but speaking out against right wing christian bigots is 'hate speech' or 'wishing harm' or whatever other fucking excuse they can come up with.
And permabanning them for making anti-Nazi statements. Soon it will just be bots upvoting content created by other bots. Waste of electricity.
I’m just glad there’s a broader discussion about it, this is exactly what we need.
The r/PublicFreakout team suggested that because of this public scrutiny, from both shareholders and government-linked figures like Musk, "Reddit is under serious pressure to get its userbase under control” and imposing whatever haphazard measures it can to accomplish this.
Lmao. This is currently the top post on /r/all. How's that control working out for you Spez?
Got banned multipe times for saying things like 'Lorena bobbit' or 'federal workers shouldn't take their jobs back if they get rehired' so...guess we'll see how long it'll take ya'll to get sick of me...😅
I got an upvote warning. That's why I'm here
Just read the article came here to post it and lookie here. Yeah man absolutely disgusting. I came over a few days ago after getting the 7 day ban for the exact things stated in the article. But then I told the Reddit team some colorful words, and they decided to permanently banned me. Fucking bootlickers
Welcome! Hope you enjoy yourself here!
Thank you!
Yeah fuck Reddit. It was a great platform once. Now it's dogshit. The leadership is visionless and obsessed with monetization, finally deciding to kill the golden goose
I’ve never regretted deleting my Reddit (paid) account. And every day brings more confirmation I did the right thing.
You paid for a Reddit account? I was on there for 11 years and I don't recall an option to pay for an account. (I probably just ignored it.. Was it an ad-free thing?)
You could pay $6/month to get rid of ads, which I did for a while.
You could pay for a "gold" account that unlocked a few different features that could also be unlocked by using something like Reddit Enhancement Suite and a few Gold-only subreddits.
It would be funny if we made one thread of praise for Luigi, and fill it with replies to all get banned at the same time. A huge drop in users all of a sudden, sounds fun.
Just found out half of everything I ever did on the site was shadow banned. Looking into ways to mass delete my history.
Where do I sign up for the exodus post?
Oh count me in
