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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The best part is, you get no "proof" of your "crime." What was the post? Dunno, it was deleted. What was the reason? Dunno, you're banned for 3 days, congratuatlions!
Fuck 'em, no more free content for them.
3 years ago in r/pics I left a comment to a pic. I know that it was a "piling-on" situation, as my entire comment was
Banned. The entire thread was killed and I could only see my comment: no clue as to context.
I asked a mod and got some 'f-u' response. I asked for clarification on that (politely, I promise) and got perma-banned.
Corrective action needs context. That was just fronting. As an ass, I can confirm: that mod also was an ass.
I was in a small country sub and I asked why I was banned and got a snarky reply saying I copy pasted my question from the internet and I'm like what bro and got permabanned. (This was before chatgpt) Later, I found out a bunch of the mods didn't even live in the country which makes sense in hindsight cause they would be confused about certain cultural contexts and would take a more pro American stance when it comes to political posts/comments...
Its starting to happen here too which is disheartening.
Lemmy has open modlogs, so not really
Not as open as they used to be.
Makes you wonder about some of the folks ensuring their stakes are in the ground early here.
You can spin up your own instance though.
