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.

To be fair, that was back when people could add any other reddit account as a moderator to a subreddit without their knowledge. Still, I think he was still listed as a moderator when r/jailbait was banned, which if that is true is entirely inexcusable.
They were 100% aware they were hosting a "not technically child pornography but we're going to use it as child pornography" sub, but there's no subreddit degenerate enough that they'll ban it while it's profitable.
For those who don't know, look into the Creator of that sub. It's a crazy ass conspiracy type thing. Google Lake City Quiet Pills (link goes to a video from Nexpo on the subject) to go down a wild rabbit hole that somehow includes that sub. No child shit or whatever but it's hella interesting.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Unreal that this bot started quoting the title!
Ah, I remember listening to the story of LCQP on the Chilluminati Podcast
Theories of the Third Kind has a good one on it too. Haven't heard of that one I'll check it out.
Can't you do that on Lemmy now?
I say that as someone who now apparently moderates a Sims community on Lemmy.world
Yes, you can appoint anyone as moderator and they'll be none the wiser unless they happen to look at their own profile page. I think the target must have comments/posts on the community first but not sure if it can be bypassed in the backend.
That would make sense. I was one of the only people posting there
Hmm... not sure. That's interesting. On Reddit you can be invited and you have to accept, but not sure about Lemmy.
Look at me, I am the mods now.
Why be fair to Spez?
He wasn't fair to his userbase.
Treat people as ~~you would like to be treated~~ they demonstrate they treat people.
Do unto others as they do unto others
Exactly.
In a vacuum, be kind, but once someone shows you who they are, believe them and respond accordingly.
Fuck spez, but even if he was a moderator knowingly, wouldn't the point of that be to... moderate it, so that it didn't have illegal content?
Not vouching for "legal jailbait" or anything.
I never visited that subreddit, so I have no idea of the actual content. I don't know enough about the situation to be able to post more than I have without completely making stuff up, and in those situations its smarter to not say anything.
