The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

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
accused me of being pro-Nazi
Does pro-Nazi thing
Gets called out for doing pro-Nazi thing
What a thin-skinned little bitch of a boy.
Today I made a joke about Donni on r/pic, nothing vulgar, just that he never touches his wife and I was instantly banned. Fuck Reddit
Found my way back to Lemy today as well for something similar. I've noticed just in the past few days the comment threads on even mundane threads have gotten really weird. It could be a post about a picture of a hummingbird and it would devolve into strange politics. Weird pro CCP and North Korea stuff lately too. It's weird.
Freedom of speech doesn't oblige anybody to publish anything on their own website that they don't want to, any more than they're required to say certain things if they're shouting on a street corner. "But it's not the same thing, a website has a much larger reach!" It doesn't matter. Website operators get to publish what they want.
Yeah that'll work out well.
Elon Musk Takes Aim at Reddit
"This is insane," Musk responded.
Yep, totally taking aim at Reddit. Definitely not clickbait.
I have no doubt Spez will be thrilled to help further enshitify reddit.
Spez would be thrilled to sell it, I'm sure.
By 2030 am that will be left to communicate will be billionaire owned social media, fediverse and 4chan. Oh, and IRC.
is irc still a thing?
Yup, and it will be forever. You get a client and you connect to servers. It's an open protocol.
IRC is based. I hate that so many games these days only use discord. Such a bloated pile of shit when so many only use it to send messages.

"Reddit continues to be anti-free speech," Cedric Hohnstadt said on X. "I just got a lifetime ban from the 'comics' subreddit. Yesterday, I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn't. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the 'comics' subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?" The post has been viewed 3.7 million times.
Amazing that a blind man can draw comics.
It sucks to get banned for life from somewhere you love for doing something you didn't feel was wrong, but holy hell, Musk absolutely threw up a Nazi salute.
No, you're wrong.
He threw TWO Nazi salutes.
Anytime else think the second one has a bit of “uh oh, I did that, but can’t stop now” energy?
Either that or he’d broken the seal and was comfortable with it by then. He probably practiced in the mirror before either way. The fact he hasn’t tried it again is encouraging that the criticism might be getting through anyway.

one X user claimed the website was "anti-free speech" after he said he was banned from the "comics" subreddit for denying that the tech mogul did a Nazi salute
That sounds like pro truth rather than "anti free speech", no?

it won't be long before the piggy little fuckboy starts sucking on musk's nipple and issue some sort of ban to that movement. god it's good to be off that site
Reddit's about to get shittier. Again. Either they'll kowtow to Musk and make it against the rules to ban X links or they'll give some bland, noncommital, centrist statement about how they respect the hard work their mods put in to keep Reddit going or whatever. I really doubt they'll make any unequivocal statement condemning Musk as the neo-Nazi shitbag he is.
The second reddit pulls some pro-Elon conservative bullshit, expect Lemmy to be FLOODED.
Reddit is a liberal haven and there will be a mass exodus if they toe the President Musk line.
If the API price-gouging scandal didn't bring them all over already, then you might be surprised just how many continue to hang on there, even after this one. And the next one. And the next.
It's just how people are. We don't want to change.
It will bring some people over. But I doubt there will be a flood.
