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:
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.
The mods at r/popculture pointed it out. And then the screenshot above.
The subreddit drama
they ban for upvoting "eat the rich" too.
yet reddit admins never had a problem with thedonalds posters litteraly saying people should be shot and other violent rhetoric for years. the key difference is this time the billionaire class got upset.
Luigi Luigi. Luigi Luigi Luigi. Luigi, Luigi Luigi hahaha. Luigi Luigi.
Luigi Luigi!
Just put "luigi" at the bottom of every comment.
Honestly this is a good idea, just overwhelm their review queues
Victual the affluent.
So do we all sign back into our old reddit accounts to say "Luigi" until permaban?
The oligarchs are getting nervous. Good. I hope they are a scared. Fuck their platforms and their false backing of “free speech.”
I'm just going to latch onto the top comment...
An actual reddit admin posted this 2 days ago:
Today we are rolling out a new (sort of) enforcement action across the site. Historically, the only person actioned for posting violating content was the user who posted the content. The Reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content and report potentially violative content. This not only minimizes the distribution of the bad content, but it also ensures that the bad content is more likely to be removed. On the other hand, upvoting bad or violating content interferes with this system.
So, starting today, users who, within a certain timeframe, upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies will begin to receive a warning. We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide. This will begin with users who are upvoting violent content, but we may consider expanding this in the future. In addition, while this is currently “warn only,” we will consider adding additional actions down the road.
We know that the culture of a community is not just what gets posted, but what is engaged with. Voting comes with responsibility. This will have no impact on the vast majority of users as most already downvote or report abusive content. It is everyone’s collective responsibility to ensure that our ecosystem is healthy and that there is no tolerance for abuse on the site.
This was the only thing left reddit had going for itself: that users can influence the algorithm with their votes.

As someone who switched to feddit just a few days ago I can say this has been building up. Small things like deciding which comments get visibility, phasing out old.reddit, doing nothing about bots, introducing bot/karmafarma-friendly mechanisms, an uptick in pro-MAGA posts/comments as well as disinfo bots ... but still, this feels like an uncharacteristically large step.
They won't be scared until there's another Luigi.
Damn I thought reddit would stay save from the new usa censorship. Next step will ban liberal or anti trump posts and communities for sure. Seems like I moved to Lemmy at just the right time.
Given how much spez mainlines Musk's farts, how is any of this a surprise to you?
The fact that people still use reddit is insane to me.
I've been on lemmy for like a year and
the worst thing that's happened on lemmy is that nicole botspam
meanwhile Reddit has done at least 3 heinous unforgivable things in that time
Ironically Lemmy is way worse if you post on the tankie instances. Thankfully it is growing enough to marginalize those coms
those tankies have probably been banned for legit reasons on reddit and just infest lemmy.
They keep permanently suspending ppl so theyll wind up here, almost like someone working there secretly wants the fediverse to do well and is shifting the population over by permanently banning them (I dont really believe this before ppl argue like im stating a fact)
This is awesome. Are they going to start banning any reference to the SuperMario Bros IP, now?
e.g.
"This guy is looking more and more like Bowser every day, someone ought to do something about it"
"Princess peach has had it, time to go get the parasol"
"I'm sick of these motherfucking goombas on this motherfucking Earth"
I lost my 14 year old Reddit mod account. That modded a million plus subreddit. Because I made a joke that McConnell was close to death. Which he is. But they banned me before having to offer me stock options. Cunts.
reddit is making way for right wing-only content, they allow "other side content" to drive up engagement.
We all know what’s gonna happen next. The Admins will lock out the remaining mod and take it over for being “unmoderated” and install their own puppets like nothing ever happened.
It's that whole "slash funding, complain it isn't working, privatize" approach on a smaller scale.
"check for violence" for any comments that contain the word "Luigi".
This is gonna make Nintendo retro-garming discussions really awkward.
as if Mods will spend time to check every single "luigi" comment, they arnt going to be bothered by, they will just auto-ban or use a bot to give a "Reason" to ban.
