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.
Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
/r/conservative and /r/conspiracy are still open... What a fucking shit-ass website. I don't get why they don't just # rm -rf the whole fucking thing already.
Clearly they're pissed that people are still using the site. They've made efforts to stop it by making shit redesigns, releasing a shitty app, user profiles, shutting off the API and trying to force people to use their shit app.
They must be seething that people are still using it and they've found a new way to try to get people to stop. Of course, they could shut the site down, but these are execs we're talking about - their forté is ignoring every elephant in the room and then creating "solutions" that completely miss the problem.
They're in the business of selling "organic" content to AI companies, but those AI companies don't want advertiser-unfriendly language in their datasets.
Advertisors are dumb as fuck. Like, clearly if their datasets contain language that is not "advertisor friendly" then who the fuck are they trying to advertise to?
"Wow, all of society is doing this stuff. But this isn't very friendly. The people doing that stuff certainly wouldn't like if we advertised the stuff they're doing!"
I honestly think it's some weird plot to take humanity back to a puritanical society.
Think about it.
All major websites are censoring language and content that could even remotely be construed as adult-friendly or "harmful"; the fact so many US states are outright banning porn sites (I know it's like a hydra, but the point still stands); the entire world is sliding right back into fascism; I even feel like Hollywood is stepping away from things like violence and vulgarity.
It's all a fucking sham and I fucking hate it. Let us swear; let us jack off to the weird shit we want to jack off too; just let people be people.
Why does there have to be a small but extremely powerful subset of people who can run the entire world and dictate what the rest of us can and can't do?
sad how conspiracy sub got co-opted by russian trolls and right wingers, i was there before trump took office the 1st time, and it was a completely different sub.
I mean none of those other policies affected me. When APIs were removed there was much more bot spam but I muted thousands of subreddits and it was acceptable.
Now they're banning me for criticizing the moderation policy? Do they think they're the Thai king? I'm just using alternatives now.
Suppressed_news is still around.
After 50+ accounts suspended, I'm fucking done. It's just shit.
I mean with that language of course you got banned. How dare you critique Reddit's moderation policy? It's explicitly against their rules.
Did you forget to close your sarcasm HTML tag? Can't tell if Poe's law applies here.
Good. Welcome to the new home. It feels like Reddit 2009.
I came here with the API changes, but I knew there would be future waves. It’s so nice. I believe in Lemmy and the promise of federated media to help technology work for humans.
Lemmy has been my #1 discovery of 2025
Same. And I have reddit and their nonsense ban hammer to thank for it.
Welcome!
Here are cute !animalswithjobs@lemmy.world to improve your mood before you wander thought the lemmyverse.
I’m so happy to move on from that shithole. It’s a massive psyop at this point.
Time to leave reddit altogether
Reddit may actually be doing a lot of people a big favor.
Today Trump's DHS went out and arrested a Palestinian student at Columbia for participating at a protest a year prior. Our federal agents are becoming like the KGB- hunting down political dissidents.
I believe that is just a start. I think people would be wise to be careful about the things they post online. If you do post content you believe the administration may not like, I suggest making an anonymous account with an email not linked to your personal name.
I have a hunch that people will be arrested in the near future for posting things online.
That may be true. Still, don't let them make you afraid. That's the goal. They can't arrest all of us.
For posterity, fuck you Donald Trump and fuck you Elon Musk. Send the goons after me and prove you have thinner skin than an apple.
Be careful what I post? Fuck that shit, rock the fucking boat and cause a mess. The US right now is a fucking disgusting place and we need to not be obeying in fucking advance and bowing down
Banned 3 years ago
Make advertisers into bad words "hellofresh the rich" " squarespace the ceos"
I just tried this out after wiping all my comments, let’s see if I get a ban
This is, excuse me, fucking brilliant
I don't appreciate the Luigi praise or the DOGE leaks, either, but I recognize that I'm in the minority on Lemmy (lol) & idk to a certain extent I respect freedom of speech. The DOGE email leak is public info, in that it was leaked to the public....
In any case, we're all in agreement: R!ddit deserves to die. Just because they were the first runaway success public forum doesn't mean they own it forever. Especially when they shit the bed, suppress freedom of speech, kill 3rd party apps, & farm out user data for AI scraping.
I don't condone wanton violence either, of course.... but at the same time I recognise someone like Hamlet as a tragic hero. His most famous soliloquy, the "To be or not to be" one, is largely about whether you should stand up to tyranny, even though it may cost you dearly to oppose tyrants, or whether you should try and keep your head down and try to profit personally as a coward.
Yes, it's better to achieve those goals through non violent means, but you need to draw a moral line. Luigi drew his.
