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.

Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

Scary that they banned WhitePeopleTwitter, a sub with 3M+ subscribers.

Embrace our superior locally raised !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works, or the more inclusive and not twitter-centric !microblogmemes@lemmy.world

Was that even a sub critical of Elon? I haven't been on Reddit since the API migration, but I remember that sub just being a joke response to BlackPeopleTwitter, which mostly just reposted funny tweets.

[–] DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Several individuals on that sub were making death threats towards individuals in government. The mods either supported or ignored them, so a temp ban needed to be put in place.

Here from reddit also. Guilty of leveling criticism against the dominant culture in my state. If you want to be my friend please reach out 🙏

Welcome!

Make sure to try the All section too find new communities! You can block instances or communities you don’t like to moderate your own feed, it’s a lot less algorithmic than reddit is these days. Hot is what Reddit used to sort by.

obligatory 'fuck spez'. also reddit was compromised a long time ago.

Spez desperately wants a place on the big bois table

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ikr I don't think spez "bent the knee" so much as he was probably pestering Elon night and day asking how he could help.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

"Why did he put those other 22 yr old boys in govt and not meeeeee??"

The warrant canary died almost a decade ago. it hasn't been a safe place for a very long time.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago

What? But I was told that elon is "not the fed" and nothing would happen to reddit who would fight tooth and nail for everyone's rights.

Gasp, shock, and amazement.

Thanks for the warning brah! Huffman seemed like such a stand up guy until now too! Another fallen angel.

The greedy piece of shit that owns reddit

[–] bilb@lem.monster 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It was always against the rules to do that. Nothing changed, except (from what I heard, I don't use Reddit anymore so correct me if I'm wrong) mods stopped enforcing the rule with regards to Musk, Musk put the spotlight on it, and Reddit (a shitty corporation trying desperately to be profitable) couldn't really do anything but enforce the rule.

It is true that Huffman is an asshole and probably likes the guy, but if it was some other public figure I don't think the outcome would be different.
