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
Hey everyone, there's a lot of you. You ever think maybe you can just troll them by none stop posting to all their subreddits. Hell the mods are like the same 20 people in over 5000 sub reddits. That's a weak point.
Just switched to Lemmy for this exact reason! Got banned for god knows why and immediately deleted Reddit.
Just nuked my entire reddit account due to this blatant censorship. Hello Lemmy and lemm.ee it's nice to be here
Me too.
Welcome I have been a reddit refugee for some time. And have been having a great time.
Welcome you two! We've got Star Trek, Linux and beans!
...
Hopefully some other topics will become viable later.
Don't forget communism!
I just made the switch to lemm.ee so I think I might just “incite violence” and nuke my account. Good riddance.
For a brief few years we had communication platforms that could topple dictatorships but now here we are.
Yeah, now we have platforms that can topple democracies
That’s why I’m here. Reddit started getting super censored so I was looking for an alternative and was directed here. It’s fucking ridiculous.
I received a permanent ban from Reddit last week, and I'm here for the same reason. And Reddit IS turning facist, as the rich close ranks. Fuck them. Any "spirited" criticism of Trump/Musk is characterized as encouraging violence and results in temporary bans, many of which I received, until recently when I apparently crossed a line which was too offensive (to the Mods). Therefore...
Same. I originally came here after they killed off 3rd party apps, then I figured out how to patch RiF again and didn't spend as much time here.
The propaganda and misinformation have gotten to be too much. Advice subs are all fake AI stories. Admins are making a fuss about people breaking the rules, but refuse to disclose what the rules actually are.
I really enjoy Lemmy. The downside is that it's not as easy to organize (and find) niche spaces like on reddit. I'm hoping the small communities have grown more since the first mass migration.

I've been over here for a year off and on, Lemmy ain't bad at all, could use some more resistance joining for sure.
When I first joined lemmy was ass. But it has passed the threshold for content to be useable now. I like it.

the immense amount of bans they came last month, ongoing since nov 5th is just made some of us come here. they are going to keep banning, or make it easier to ban until only right propaganda is left, also the increased amount of on the ability to ban people that "report other people" has also increased. you can get banned for reporting someone or reporting "too much" apparently.

man we went from spacedicks hitting the front page to this
censoring Luigi
lemmy.world mods be like: 👀
To be fair, lemmy.world response was more like "can you folks please not get us nuked IRL, we have to remove the most colourful posts, sorry" and not this Reddit response, which is more like "has anyone seen Spez? He locked himself in the closet with a shotgun aimed at the door, and we hear some agitated breathing from that direction every time someone nearby plays a Mario game"
We're on a lemmy.world community right now and people seem to be talking about it just fine...?
Reddit has gone full fascist. Wow. Never thought I'd see the day.
The cuck CEO loves Elon and is an enthusiastic meat rider.
Nothing wrong with being meat rider mate, catch on with the times.
I believe it is the fact that it's Elon's meat that makes it's an issue. No one should do that.
Yes being a CEO is the bad part here!
spez does love musk and trump

My ten year old Reddit account got banned for a single snarky comment about Luigi, so here I am!
are you able to share the offending comment here?

So sad and happy at the same time. I enjoyed reddit for awhile so its sad to see it go further downhill but kinda happy cause fuck all of that shit they are trying to do.
Reddit's strategy is to replace all users with AI bots rented from Elon.

Come to Lemmy, we got cookies
How about card games and sex workers?
Reddit became a clownshow 2 years ago, how are people even still enjoying the place?
It's still the only major community hub for loads of hobbies and such. As an example: the Magic the Gathering community here has 1300 members and almost no activity.

Well that means they’re afraid. We’re not calling for anything violent we’re just calling out what we see. It’s a shame that Reddit went red. #boycottreddit
Ive been on Reddit for 10 to 15 years. Its always been a strange place but ive never seen anything like what's going on at the moment.
- weird rules (like 'Luigi') being applied system-wide without being communicated
- automated actions applied to individual users site-wide, like allowing them to engage but preventing them from creating posts anywhere
- over zealous mods. I'm assuming a lot of mods got sick of it and left over the last few years and those doing the work are under experienced. Or maybe just AI. Its possible.
- GPTs engaging in posts and comments for training
- agents from hostile governments agitating and spurring on political discussions that favour their agenda.
So yeah I'm giving up on it now, its just no fun anymore.
Yeah, this sure. But I think primarily Reddit doesn't want its platform to be used to organize and protest. This is how they are setting the stage.
