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.

Nothing.

I have already seen about a dozen accounts that were mass upvoting each other a few weeks ago.

They've been here since I started here in June, just call it out and downvote. Report never worked on Reddit so I'm not in the habit but you could try it?

I’m confused. Isn’t karma a Reddit concept? Since we don’t have it here, how would this be an issue?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Nah, It goes back way further than that.

Slashdot had a similar system a decade before reddit existed.

It has had other names on other forums but it is essentially trying to quantify reputation.

You can upvote stuff here (and downvote on kbin) so you will still get a group that are obsessed with making the number go up.

Like on reddit, positive visibility. Voting manipulation could affect which posts are shown as Hot or Active. Reddit also hides comments with many downvotes, which thankfully isn’t a thing here.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean others don't \ or that it doesn't exist.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Obviously. I see it right there. We just don’t have to care here, so I don’t get it.
