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.

Nah. It should be spez. It’s a metaphor for what’s coming and it’s going to be the billionaires of the world that are going to experience it.
optimistically. I dunno if we actually have it in us.
Sure we do. People aren’t hungry enough right now but that day is soon coming. People won’t revolt when every thing is comfortable. Comfort is quickly dwindling.
Discomfort pushes people away, comfort and compassion pulls them close.
Theres a greater purpose to this all than wrecking reddit, its building a new, better home. One resistant to rot. You can in anger run away, but you need somwhere to run to (else twitter complaints happen). To those who need a home base on the internet, lemmy is there.
Edit: the "running away" is half symbolic of any action that distances you from a place
Edit: ive posted a better comment below this one
I disagree. Discomfort angers people. Once you take everything away from them their only recourse is fighting. They won’t just sit there and starve to death when they know who is responsible.
Today people are waking up. They are starting to notice how fucked up the world is and that billionaires are responsible.
You might be conditioned to roll over and take it but young people are not. Violent revolution is coming and it won’t be pretty. Soon there will be no other option. There will be tons of people willing and ready to burn everything to the ground.
The narrative will change completely once food shortages start happening. It won’t be long before the crop failures are here. Buckle the fuck up.
Let me be clear. yes, you are correct. (it was late at night and i was on copium) The problem is in an angered state, people need (actively seek out) an explanation. There are con men that love starving people because they are vunrable. The only just thing to do is help build that explanation together, without being like the con men nor letting their scams and lies into the group.
Edit: Twitter was conned into thinking there was no better place to go. Despite the fact mastodon exists. I hope we didnt and dont make the same mistakes
