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
Eh. Blahaj and beehaw kind of have an obligation to over-protect their instances and users.
That is not “over-protection”. Trans rights are human rights.
I'm being supportive of that.
I'm not trans but, thank you. Everyone deserves to feel safe being who they genuinely are (except Nazis and slavers, they deserve help being better, if they'll accept it).
That's against the mod guidelines, as you can't ban people based on what they do/don't in other subreddits, even when it would be sensible to do so. Sadly, the mod guidelines are toilet paper.
Something similar could theoretically happen in the Fediverse, but usually this is handled through defederation instead.
Hence why I’m here now instead. Use Reddit on my laptop every once in a while as a search engine. I figured it might be against some rules. Totally ridiculous. Screw Reddit.
Welcome here. If there is one thing that Lemmy differently than Reddit, it's power tripping mods. If someone bans you from their instance, you can still go to another one. Hopefully you will find one that fits with your expectations in terms of moderation.
Same goes for communities, some are quite heavily moderated, some are less. It's up to you to find the ones that fit with you.
Also, as a new joiner, you should probably have a look at [email protected]
I find the mods are much the same. There are examples in this thread of mods doing the described behavior
As I said, the difference here is that mods and admins have limited power.
There is some power tripping, but thanks to the public modlog, they get called out, and users move to other communities. Takes a while, but better than Reddit
Posted on r/KotakuInAction by any chance? I usually run into this kind of complaints because of that sub.
My personal take is that subs that ban people just for posting on other subs are actively perpetuating their little opinion bubbles. They are essentially creating little virtual prisons for their members, and most of them are actually happy about that, which in turn tells all I need to know about those members' intellectual laziness. To twist around Groucho Marx' quote, I would refuse to join a sub that rejected me for posting elsewhere.
I would get in trouble for randomly arguing with antivaxxers.
Attempting to police whom people are allowed to communicate with is a standard tactic cults use to manipulate and exert control over their victims. it's part of the BITE model of authoritarian control.
Although I for one generally don't care to meet or talk to transphobes, racists, fascists, or traditionalist conservative types who simp to the peer pressure of dead people, I will not stand for some third party trying to make the judgement call FOR me. I don't need some meddlesome middle-man gatekeeper superimposing their expectations upon me. Gatekeepers (who try to control OTHER people's gates) go on the same list as the tradcon bigot scum. It's MY business who I choose to talk to and why. And I also make it a point not to police who OTHERS get to talk to.
Large Reddit subs are not for discussion, mods enforce the right think and wrong think will be banned.
Boy do I have some news for you...
yeah here in fedi we cut out the middleman and prevent you from discovering a community at all if your account is on certain instances
I got perma banned from reddit because I was a smartass to another smartass on reddit. Guess what? They're from Colorado. A garbage state with garbage people
You have been banned from /r/Colorado.
