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.

MODERATORS
I got an account ban for stating how terrorists deserve to die, which I guess is a controversial opinion now. Bunch of pussies in charge of the place now.
Not to mention the reposts.
The number of old pics and videos that keep reposting is through the roof.
r/AskReddit has dropped in quality. It used to keep me busy and entertained for ages.
The only reason I use Reddit now are for old niche posts that answer specific questions. Other than that, I find my selfing going to lemmy first these days.

Its been downhill for a while but seems to have picked up speed in the last 6 months or do. Hmm. Wonder why that is.
The only reason I log in there now is to slowly erase my comment history.
Literal brownshirt-wannabes are not worth engaging on social media, and "don't feed the troll" has been an Internet aphorism since last century now
Just in case you didn't know this, here is a program that lets you mass edit and delete all your comments on Reddit:
https://redact.dev/services/reddit
The free version only edits all your comments with random words, but for me was good enough just to delete my main account asap.
I've seen the randomized replacement text results here and there. Right now I'm getting some entertainment value from rereading my footprints before I scrub them, but I might look into that service.
I'm just there for the porn, these days. Any sort of meaningful interaction with people happens elsewhere.
