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
I was permabanned from /r/politics in a one two punch, first a 24 hour ban after I said someone's comment was 'disagreeable'. An insult far too heavy to bare apparently. And second when a mod decided I had baited someone else in to breaking the rules. I myself broke zero rules, nor did I bait a person into commenting that I was a "jackass" but it all just goes on the pile of "why /r/politics is trash".
I mean it's a weird hill to die on. I'd rather spend my time vilifying actual villians for their actual villianous actions and beliefs than pick on RBG for wanting to serve to her death as supreme court justices often do.
Her serving to her death, very literally resulted in the heavy bias towards conservative viewpoints on the SC. She was adamant that Hillary Clinton would win and the first woman president would select her replacement. Now that shouldn't have been a hill to die on when so much was at stake.
Weird to lay it all on her shoulders instead of the stupid voting system and republicans who actually stacked the court🤷♀️
The country will suffer because of the idiotic system, and because half of it are hateful, inbred fuckheads.
See, this is where you are actually pretty nuts. You really fully blame her when the lions share of what happened is not on her shoulders.
And clearly you are wrong about her knowing what would happen. Clearly she had too much confidence in the system, or she would have stepped down. Your take is all kinds of odd honestly.
It's nuts to place the blame on anyone but those actively advancing the destruction of bodily autonomy. Some dying woman's blunder is not the reason you are getting fucked in the ass. You are getting fucked in the ass because your system allowed it to happen. Count the votes, your stupid electoral college put through Trump, not RBG and not the american people.
She made a mistake, but she's not responsible for hateful bastards pushing hate or finding an audience.
