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
Yep this is really the only question that matters. Also, redditors call them "upvotes" not "likes."
This smells fishy.
Reddit doesn't have likes, and Mods can't tell anything about your upvotes/downvotes.
This is not exactly surprising, but honestly if you think this won't happen on Lemmy as well then you're in the wrong place. It might not be happening right this moment, but I guarantee there are people who want something like this here too. The only upside to Lemmy is that you can move to another instance, which comes with the obvious downside that you will basically be forced to make new friends. Which is not an easy task.
There was some drama a few months ago with the vegan community. Some mod was banning everyone that downvoted them.
It already happens, .ml (Well really the whole Tankie Triad, Hexbear and grad is only harder because they're pretty widely defed'd from) will site-ban you for posts and comments on other instances that dare criticize their Tankie nature
It definitely happens here. I actually was surprised it could be detected on Reddit and they did anything because I’ve seen it on Lemmy first before ever hearing about it on Reddit.
But I’ve heard it happen more so for users who are downvoting posts. I’ve heard both users downvoting on a large scale in a particular community as well as people downvoting a single post. Both receiving bans from mods of those communities.
Yeah, this is a big reason why I say Lemmy should not be showing who upvotes or downvotes posts or comments. Its not about hiding bad actors, its about protecting people from abusive moderators, because unfortunately not all moderators are paragons of justice.
I realize the irony of me saying this considering I am a .world community moderator, but rest assured I don't care about personal dispute, as a moderator I only care about whether someone is breaking the rules or being a general nuisance to the community. I should never be able to see who is voting on what.
Reddit is total trash at this point A LOT of people are saying it
I went to look and the stock has gained more than 300% since it was introduced a few years ago.
I hate reddit.
