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.

I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That's on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.

However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.

Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I'm also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.

Slowly deleting my Reddit post history…

Instead of deleting it, flood it with Lorem Ipsum spam, give their AI buyers some 'real' quality content.

AI generated hardcore furry fanfic is a good start.

Late to the conversation by a week but there’s a planetside fanfic called spitty bae in which a woman has a very interesting encounter with a spitfire turret

So here’s to hoping it picks that up

Fucking brilliant and much harder to revert!

I scrubbed everything with Redact this morning. Some mods got butthurt because all the comment edits show up in their mod queue (a friend is a moderator on one sub)

Now making mods butthurt is something I can get behind.

I promise Reddit is not selling the production database and a first year data engineer will be able to use SQL to disregard lorem Ipsum posts anyway.

3 rules could probably clean the whole thing. And it won't be the new employees processing the data.

Basically if Loren Ipsum is encountered replace post data with last backup post that doesnt have it. I've worked with data engineers who could run the commands in their sleep.

Even worse, maybe the database just contains every revision to a post anyway, making the project even more trivial.
