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
 

The group would be for discussion of political topics but without labels. Contributors would not identify as on the left or the right. Simple discussions based on your personal thoughts on issues.

Posts would be both linked articles and your own self posts about an issue. There would be no cries of consider the source. You can post a link from the NY Times or RedState. I'm using those just as examples of what ends discussions because your political affiliation reflexively causes you not to believe a particular source. Something is either true or not and truth is not dependent on the source that raises the issue.

Name calling would not be tolerated. If you rudely call out another contributor you would be banned for one month.

We always talk about those disillusioned with reddit and trying to get them to try Lemmy. I don't remember reddit ever having a successful group to discuss politics that wasn't slanted.

For this to be worth the trouble we will need at least a beginning of at least 10 users that would contribute to the group. And at least a few willing to be mods of the group. The group would be No Labels Politics.

Respond if you are willing to contribute, be a mod or both. And I will set it up.

Did you already have a look at

They seem decent from far away, but I'm not really that active on that topic

thanks for the links. I checked. One is really dead. Few posts and many days between them. the other one appears totally slanted to one side.

[–] FundMECFS@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Currently everything on lemmy will be slanted to one side. The problem is not the community, but lemmy’s userbase.

(I see it more as a good thing then I problem, as someone in a minority people to the right often believe should be effectively eradicated)
