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
Funny, Alexis bounced out a few years ago over flimsy reasons. I think he saw the writing on the wall.
You can't consider a cofounder to no longer be one. Unless you travel back in time to change history.
Musk considers himself a founder of Tesla.
Anything is possible if you're a cunt.

You can consider anyone to be anything. Consideration doesn't have to be based in reality.

It’s been like this for years but now Aaron has a good reason to not want to be associated with it.
WTF???
I learned about Aaron in college in a communication class when we talked about the open access and open source movements. I didn't know he had anything to do with Reddit or Internet Archive until years later. Reddit's vision lately seems really backward from what Swartz wanted. How was he ever friends with Steve Huffman? Was Huffman always such an insensitive tyrant or did he only become so since becoming CEO? Even Ohanian. What did he see in Huffman? I've admired Ohanian for his advocacy on mental health, parental leave, and racial equality. Huffman seems to only care about himself. It's just hard for me to imagine a time where thoughtful people like Swartz or Ohanian would have the time of day for someone like Huffman. Of course, I'm not sure how much Ohanian works on Reddit lately, but it's a shame he's allowed these draconian changes to happen through Huffman and his cronies.
Nobody cares about u/spez !
RIP Aaron
