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.

MODERATORS
They were (are?) a group that catalogued hate speech and general shitassery on Reddit. Arguably overzealously, but pretty close to current standards. Members were perceived as the Reddit boogeyman with deep connections to the admins and unlimited leeway. Turns out they were just a decade ahead of the times in calling out rape jokes and racism.
Lots of posts where I disagreed at first, but I managed to find an understanding and, I guess, become a slightly better person.
One thing I fucking loved was when u/TotesMessenger snitched on their posts and it created drama. That was glorious, every time.
Samesies. I found it interesting that the people objecting to shit Reddit says post-2016 dwindled into… exactly the sort of people you’d expect. I don’t want to say that trump improved the internet, because he didn’t, but his election did let internet douchebags feel brazen enough to sit under the same umbrella.
