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
 

Some of the new Reddit mods are so toxic. Instead of apologizing for the bot being too harsh and reinstating my submission, they just banned me because I dared to ask what exactly I didn't "punctuate correctly".

Rofl banned from fkn shower thoughts the bastion of scholarly integrity

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Everybody knows you shouldn't talk about periods, silly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

The only way to use reddit is to never post. Read it if you need to, but use strong anti trackers and ad blocks. This way they won’t get to use or abuse you.

Ngl i see on the internet people making fun of other people who have bad grammer usually youtube and discord and i hate that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'm guessing it was for lacking a period at the end of a sentence, even though as a title it'd be entirely appropriate without one. Plus the original quotes were totally fine. What a bunch of sanctimonious puckerbutt assheads. I used to hang around r/grammar and the shit the showerthoughts mods are pulling would never stand over there because it's based on descriptivism. Any community with excessive grammar nazi shit written into the rules is already lost.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

This isn't new. Reddit mods have been like this for a decade or more. And the admins let them get away with it because they get free labour from them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

"Show mercy not punish."?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not unlock some mods you’d see right on here. Assholes are universal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's "unlike" not "unlock". You are now banned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Hahaha now I have to leave it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Wow, they almost got close to the arbitrary bans you get on lemmy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So I posted this in [email protected]:

Let's say this:

I have no idea if you are a shill or a genuine person. But, there are some behaviors that are bad things to do regardless of which you are:

  1. Recasting your opponents' views as other ones that make less sense and are easier to argue against, consistently, as a way of muddling the discourse, instead of being honest about what you're saying and what you are disagreeing with and why, and just letting your point of view speak for itself whether or not I personally would agree with it
  2. Consistently posting a drumbeat of memes in support of your viewpoint (within that same dishonest framing)

I mean, you can do what you want to do. I'm not gonna try to tell you you are or aren't allowed to say whatever suits you. But to me, saying "fuck the whole US politics join my coalition for positive change we need a level of change that the current system will not allow" would make sense. Sounds great. I actually would be right there in that coalition. Anything from Bernie Sanders to Ralph Nader to someone further out-there who is working for something to produce actual change in some other way.

But if instead of that, you misrepresent the "other side"'s viewpoint "fascism is so bad that we need to resist it even if the alternative involves continuing the US's longstanding policy of allowing some war crimes," as if it was "I <3 war crimes and genocide", and post a drumbeat of attack against specifically the least war-crime-friendly big contingent in US politics, I think people will wind up accusing you of bad faith. They've got a right to say that too.

I mean, does that seem fair? If you were posting a big stream of memes about how to put pressure on Biden to do more (like, a fuck of a lot more) to stop the crimes, or in favor of some faction that was plausibly able to produce a better outcome, I don't think you would be getting near this level of derisive responses. But the message you're sending doesn't match the outcome you say you want. I think that's why you are getting these maybe unfair accusations.

Removed. Rule 1, civility.

I got a permanent ban for some other, less friendly, interactions on the same day. But that one decision always stuck out to me as a shining example of the moderation quality on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah i have seen "civility" used arbitrarily a lot on lemmy world, specifically in news and politics subs when wrong think or bad facts are provided.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

literally the same people: leftist instances are cEnSoRiNg my genocide-approving fascist-aligned beliefs!!!

Always leave it up to liberals to let you down.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Arbitrary bans do happen on Lemmy. However they're like a drop of piss in an ocean of piss, once you compare them with Reddit. No matter what you do there, some assumptive piece of shit will put its words into your mouth, and if that assumer is a mod you are getting banned.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (4 children)

It's not a drop in a bucket, it's about the same if not worse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If it smells like shit everywhere you go, maybe you should check your own shoes.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe I should check where I'm going. A lot of people don't like to hear "wishing for genocide or someone's death is a bad thing".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

??? Some people don’t like to hear “you shouldn’t sexualize children” does that mean we need to accommodate them to make sure they feel safe and cozy? Fuck no. Same deal, different opinion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Except in your comparison, lemmy is the other person you brought up. Wishing death on people and calling for a genocide is deplorable and will rightfully get you ostracized in society. The fact that you don't see it as that just proves my point further.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't know how that can be. I was banned from several places on reddit, but not a one across all the fediverse, and I'm much more active here than I was in reddit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Go spend a bit in hexbear and it’ll happen. Unless you whole heartedly adopt their thinking, at least.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

At least Lemmy bans ain't perma yet

30 day gulag for news and politics subs for proving alternative opinions

Prolly just warming up tho for the main season

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't know bro. I'm banned for 20000 days from 196 Why you may ask? Well, I said that "Hamas was totally okay with dead Palestinians. Just as Israel is totally okay with dead Palestinians. Both governments treat Palestinians like a currency to be spent.". The lead administrator a guy named Moss did not like me saying that. So I am banned for being a fuck ass for 20,000 days now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Arbitrary for sure.

Banning people from having opinions is counter-productive lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

It's not arbitrary when the lead administrator is a blatant Hamas supporter...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Wdym they give perma bans too.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

Nah.

Even if someone might argue that Lemmy has plenty hivemind bans, arbitrary bans - like the one shown in the OP, or caused by a mod lacking basic reading comprehension - are relatively uncommon. Apples and oranges, you know.
