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.

The engagement is fleeting but the spoiling of the narrative is forever.
Never forget he accused the Apollo dev of blackmail and doubled-down on the claim even after evidence disproved it.
Pretty sure that’s a crime in most places.
They screwed over so many people. Losing the ability to search your own comment history with Camas / Push Shift screwed me out of archiving some of my older write-ups and valuable conversations.
Admins really took a nose-dive in the last year especially. They royally screwed my account over, blatantly wrongly banning my main account then using that false-ban as justification to permanently-ban me months later.
All the while they uphold objectively-racist comments despite several reports. Fucking weird.
I mentally checked out of reddit when I got a comment deleted and a 3-day sitewide ban for saying:
"It is always OK to punch a Nazi."
It was a literal comment, not figurative, nothing was being compared, etc. Just a straight statement about actual past and present-day Nazis. Ban.
The 3rd-party app fiasco happened a couple of weeks later, and that was the second sign that I needed to GTFO.
My longest temp ban was literally for saying "well I guess the alternative is to kill anyone who disagrees with you."
Using sarcasm to argue against violence is too violent. 14 days, and they overturned the ban on appeal on day 12.
I have reservations on that statement for a few reasons (mainly because I think it makes the nazi problem worse in some respects) but I 100% don't think that deserves a ban and the general gist is fair. Any sort of bigot generally has not received a taste of their own medicine and lacks the empathy to learn form abstraction.
For my case I received a 3-day sitewide ban for saying, "Fun fact: the immune system synthesizes hydrogen peroxide at infection sites which signals a wider immune response," and cited 2 science articles. Cited for harassment... lol??
Later, r/news mods (shady fucks who I suspect are compromised with right-wing extremists) banned me without citing a comment or reason. Eventually I made an alt account months later and got perma-banned for ban-evasion (I didn't try to hide it), and get this, with them citing the previous bullshit suspension as a first-strike which I tried to appeal and they ignored.
Edit: Like the name, by the way. Love Lost Keys / Rosetta Stoned.
