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

Face it... YouTube is the new media, while old media has been enshitifying itself for the last few decades. Even previously trusted sources like Washington Post and NYT have really gone downhill over the past 5 years.
Shows like Last Night Tonight and some of the other late night TV shows, broadcast important political issues to the general public, those are now in jeopardy because old media doesn't fucking like it when they are called out, or they call out their Dear Leader Trump. And you know what? The best place where those ideas get broadcasted is not on TV... it's YouTube!
Good for you. You did some research and discovered it's has ties to a batshit crazy website.
Booo! Fuck your rule. It's a shit rule. Political discourse has shifted to new mediums, and your fucking rules are stuck in the past.
You mean you have to review and moderate posts? Just like you read and moderate comments? Wow! Holy shit! You're already picking winners and losers. You're just spouting off excuses.
Create a goddamn blacklist or something. You obviously don't accept every single news source in your posts. You already have a blacklist of some sort. Surely you're not allowing news posts from conservativegrandpa.americaneagle.ru or any of the other tinfoil hat nutjobs.
Oh yeah, you just said: "they would be removed for being a bunch of tinfoil hat nutjobs and not actual news." So, you're already filtering. You're already picking winners and losers.
Your rule and reasoning is hypocritical. Embrace new media and take out the shitty rule.
YouTube is the poster child for enshittification, it's not a valid example for anything else.
If generations are using YouTube as a primary news source, we're all in deep, deep trouble!
