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.

Surprising that this bug hit only NSFW and LGBT subs no? Almost sounds like there's a shortlist to run through with such scripts.

Ban-Unban-Ban-Unban-Ban until using the site is obnoxious and participation plunges. Then start removing mods for arbitrarily enforced infractions. Seed in your own corporate friendly goons. They start banning active users and veteran accounts. Eventually, the whole sub just becomes reposts of ten year old Blåhaj memes and photoshopped/AI-generated random people waving rainbow flags with comments too generic for a Markov Chain.

Its a strategy Reddit Admins have been using since 2012 to "clean up" a popular sub without actually killing it. Look Don't Touch is the future of Reddit.

Same shit as taking government programs away for a few hours the other day. It's a small preview to gauge reaction.
