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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

They must be desperate for us to shut the fuck up about the state of things!

I doubt the authenticity of that supposed reward, but Reddit doesn't want anything that bunches up the panties of its shareholders and fascist sponsors, so it permabans specific users with "violent" language.

Is this real?

Edit: no source shared in the reddit thread.

I find it a bit hard to believe

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Don't think so

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 12 points 22 hours ago

fuck reddit.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago

Yeah I saw that post and combing through it there is nobody corroborating the screenshot. They wouldn't just give that promotion to one singular user without any kind of announcement, and searching for "double karma non-political content" only returns that post as a result. 95% chance this is fake.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Who decides what's political?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

The shitty, corrupt mods that didn't leave when Spez fucked everyone over.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 68 points 1 day ago

I do and unfortunately that comment was too political, so just the normal amount of karma for you.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

That sounds like an awfully political question to ~~The State~~ me you better watch it you don't want to lose any ~~Social Credit~~ karma.

Reddit is making a political move by trying to reduce political expression.

Politics is anything related to the expression power and who should have power.

There's a whole hierarchy which probably ends with the country's political leader.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Spez wants lemon party with Trump and musk.

Fuck reddit

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If you haven’t been kicked off of Reddit by now, then you haven’t been loud enough. Stop with the mealy mouthed platitudes to the middle and pick a side.

Kill your leaders.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Ive been very loud, only sub bans.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 4 points 23 hours ago

Man I got permabanned sitewide for suggesting people show up and draw chalk symbols on the (very public) street in front of the Governor's Mansion, after Sarah Sanders had some Christian chalk artist come and draw a giant Jesus on the (very publicly owned) governor's mansion driveway.

This, you see, is a call for political violence. 🙄

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago

ive probably been banned around 20 times.

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 15 points 1 day ago

Maybe they don't want the karma bots to mingle with the propaganda bots.

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 23 points 1 day ago

Lmao. Man, does that actually work? It probably will. And that kind of makes me sad.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

There are at least 150 people on Lemmy with less than zero critical thinking skills. For shame.

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can they loose double karma too?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Wtf that site is governed so horribly. If people could leave to an alternative with similar size, I don't doubt many would.

[–] Konstant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Anyone notice now reddit let's you hide your comments in the profile. I suspect this was done so that AI companies can't crawl users comments.

Edit: meant AI competitors. The ones not doing business with reddit

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Reminder that they have a business relationship to allow Google to directly scrape their database for AI training, so anything like that is only to stop competitors.

[–] Konstant@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Yes, I meant competitors. They are in the AI business.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

I routinely say things that are not entirely negative about AI. I obviously care a lot about karma!

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

Whoa we're gonna be rich!
