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.

MODERATORS
Excuse me, but, what the hell are you talking about?
What's all this stuff about plants?
"Flat panel" TVs have been a thing for almost three decades. Reddit was doing just fine until "new" Reddit became a thing and it steadily declined into insanity... More than a decade into it's success, they redesigned it and in less than half the time it took them to build the site up, they've driven a large number of users off with their insane choices.
Look, the only reason that Reddit hasn't collapsed is because of the 80/20 rule in business, applied to Reddit it would be that 80% of the activity on the site is coming from 20% of the userbase. A LARGE chunk of that 20% has jumped ship, either to Lemmy or somewhere else. So they're staying afloat on the 80% of lurkers and low value users, plus a small group of people too dedicated to Reddit, or too stubborn to believe it's sinking.
Reddit has been around for ~15 years, and 2/3rda of that time was building something, and in the last 1/3rd, they wrecked it. That's a long long time for something as prominent as Reddit to be around. And this will not be a quick death for them. It will take many years before spez realizes how badly he's fucked himself. By the time he does, everyone will be deeply engrained in wherever they landed.
All fair points, but
I can only imagine that you've also said things like "we are indoors, nobody is beating around any bushes" or "how can you have the best of both worlds? There's only one world" or "there's no way you could 'knock it out of the park', we're not playing baseball".
I was being hyperbolic. :)
Is that how people do that on your planet?
