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.
There's no way the guillotine went away naturally.
Which is the point of all of this. They've been flexing their ability to control the flow of information on their site to show off for investors since the minute they announced the API changes. They're going to use Place to further demonstrate the level of control they have over the userbase by "shutting down the protests." Advertisers and investors are going to be eating this up, especially since so many people are still engaging and giving hate-clicks along the way. Imagine how attractive a completely pliable and obedient userbase of literal millions of progressive swing voters is going to look.
Yeah, they just want to boost traffic and engagement, so that Reddit looks good to investors.
I notice they've left in all the Fuck Spez stuff, while removing anything "promoting violence".
Eventually he'll see himself out the door with an enormous payoff. The reddit faithful will cheer his departure, but none of what he's done will be reversed.
Reddit wants to be TikTok because that makes money.
If I wanted TikTok I'd have downloaded it.
I didn't. So I left.
I think that's called doing a "Pao".
Right.
People on here all the time crying for the death and Reddit and that’s just naive.
True. It's sad to see all this coming from 90s early 00s internet.
