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
Yeah I agree but I think AI will soon enough become accessible for community made tools as well. This will be a boon for moderators but may also create new challenges in accountability and democracy in online spaces.
The problem is that community made tools were severely restricted by Reddit pulling API access.
A lot of the old moderators left. Reddit itself has shown that it does not want to create any sort of legitimacy or democracy in the moderation process because that legitimacy could override the admins' legitimacy.
I agree completely but I think this discussion is relevant for Lemmy as well which has to some extent copied the same structure. While we do have more choice in terms of which admins we want to be under, the fundamental structure and tools are not that different.
One thing to mention is that Lemmy divorced the role of admin and developer. You have a set of admins with a far larger latitude to act, but the developer level seems lacking to address these issues and the Lemmy developer level seems as to cloistered as the Reddit admin level.
