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.

Back from Reddit, and hereβs the deal.
1: based upon your karma earned per week, you get a share of all gold given to your account. They shared only that 100-4999 karma per week gives $.90 per gold and 5000-? gives $1.00 per gold.
This will literally destroy every single community with a deluge of spam. They implied that they had a new spam system but itβs Reddit, so it will be ineffective at best. What, have they been purposefully allowing spam for years to train identification just for this moment?
2: No clue. Hopefully just joking.
So they're basically paying the bots now? Very cool, very nice
If they can convince investors and advertisers that bots are users then they don't care if they have actual users.
Bots not only stole ~~our jobs~~ our shitposts, they're also going to get paid for it. Truly, this is the dumbest timeline
Hey, a bots gotta eat. Oh wait...
The Reddit spam filter is god awful.
Research any product on Google and click on the reddit link. Nine times out of ten, the top comment will be added months, if not years, after the original post. It will contain a link to blogspam and somehow have 50+ points.
It's clear that it's just bot accounts. They buy votes and post it so late after the fact because it makes it less likely to be noticed by the mods.
Can you cash out the gold for real money? I doubt it, so it will not be the "poor guy trying to earn some cents" type of spam, it will be the classic redditors trying to farm awards circlejerk which has plagued reddit for a long time
Yes. Yes you can
