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
 

I wish we could see up/downvotes like in the past. I think reddit may be artificially boosting some posts into the front page. You can see in the screenshot it has very little upvotes (or older) compared to the other top 4 posts.

I have no evidence other than noticing right after the election, /r/conservative seems to be hitting the front page every day. But I remember before the election, it only hit the front page once in a blue moon or so. Is this just me? Am I the only one noticing this?

Many of the people claiming to be too liberal for the dems online were not really people, or at least not eligible US voters. They choose whichever perspective is most destabilizing at the moment and push that, sometimes switching accounts and sometimes not even bothering to do that. Theyll jump from Bernie to Trump to Stein and back to Trump without a second thought because they do not actually believe in the positions they are backing, only the chaos they can cause. Some of these people are unaffiliated trolls, some are self organized volunteers, some are paid call center workers and some are bots.

So anyone who has issues with the dems are bots or trolls? Is that what they were trying to say?

[–] jrs100000@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

No that is pretty explicitly not what they said.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

So you just summarized it that way?

I'm still not sure what they were saying if your summary wasn't what they meant

[–] jrs100000@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Thats not what I said either. You seem to be intent on finding a strawman to attack here.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 7 hours ago

Rich considering this started with a strawman attack.
