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.

The quote for those who don't feel like clicking through:
Reads to me as "we are sick and tired of bots freely scraping our content without paying us", wrapped up somehow as "gotta protect our users". Meanwhile, they clearly do not care about humans having open access to information. But hey, that's just my take.
Frustrating especially to see the shade thrown at the '21 years old design' that's still head and shoulders over anything they've been able to design since. (I guess. Haven't really been there in a handful of years, but I assume it's kept getting worse.)
Given the whole API debacle you're almost certainly right.
"Our content" like as if all the folks of reddit created that content in the first place
Good correction! 100%, should have said "our users' content".
They provide the software platform and the hosting, and those aren't nothing. But all the stuff they want to cash in on, they created none of it.
Oh yes, the bot spam coming from non logged in users is a serious problem, totally get it.
Love that they don't allow comments on blog posts, because they know its just going to be a bunch of ppl saying fuck spez
