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
Just leave, ffs. It's annoying that in the end of the day people still remain in droves. The only hope is that reddit drives itself into being unusable.
I feel like saying "Just leave" to the protesters is akin to telling people protesting Trump as president: "Just leave for Canada. You working and living in USA is just making more tax money for Trump."
Leaving Reddit or leaving a country or not comparable
For some poor addicted sods, leaving the app might be harder.
We’re never going to reach the addicted, but there are likely plenty of people who would jump ship if they just knew a little more about lemmy.
I've made the switch to Lemmy and it wasn't easy. Now that I understand the way the federated thing works I get it but, honestly I was confused.
The only thing that I miss is search. I don't know if it's my app or what but there's no way, I can find, to search through posts on Lemmy.
That will get fixed soon, I'm sure. This thing is new.
If that's your criteria for staying, I don't think search was ever fixed in Reddit, though! 😂 Measure with the same ruler!
No, my criteria for staying is that it works on an app that isn't Reddit
Scale is irrelivant, he is compairing the (social) dynamics at play
This is more like protesting Walmart while shopping there daily. Reddit directly benefits from the continued traffic.
i dont know how eager the advertisers are about advertising next to a canvas where the nicest message is fuck the CEO of that place. Twitter is struggling to get advertisers on board with how much of a fuckup Musk is as a CEO. Spez says that Musk is his idol and advertisers dont want a right wing cesspool filled with threats of violence and hatred to have their products right next to. And that is easier to enforce with a relatively small side like reddit, as opposed to facebook or instagram.
I think there is a difference between uprooting your entire life to move to a foreign country, and deleting an app
Nobody is deinying that, and I assume he was being extreme for the point,
but social capital is werry mutch a thing
The only hope for what? Is the end goal that Reddit dies or that lemmy gains in popularity?
Sort of, really people want to have a non hostile relationship with websites, reddit is a comical example of corprate instincts being misaligned with that desire
Spez will be seen as the animal that learned bad behavors and went savage
Edit: And how people wont put up with it
It's because they don't know any better. The average redditor isn't exactly super smart, and half of them are even stupider than that!
