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.

On a thread about Germans not wanting to "fight for their country", some blames the rich, while this one idiot decides to become a nationalistic xenophobe. 🤦‍♂️

"I can't recognize something, therefore it's scary."

Conservatives will go to war before they go to therapy.

These just look like bots and propaganda actors.

We can only hope simple people don't fall for it.

I don’t want to fight for my country. I want the stupid elite to sort out their problems on their own. Please don’t involve me, thanks.

this one idiot decides to become a nationalistic xenophobe.

"decides to become"? Sure they were that before that comment.

I've definitely met my fair share of people that harbour this sort of belief. The UK is teeming with them currently, all of which have been riled up over the last few decades (atleast) by nationalist parties like the BNP, Britain first and now reform UK insisting that the consistently eroding quality of life, is due to foreigners, rather than the few fat cats hoarding all the cream.

I've seen people at food banks parrot this xenophobic shit after being laid off due to clear capitalistic profiteering... It's insane just how effective hate can be in manipulating people.

I don't know a great deal of German politics, but from what I've heard regarding the Afd party, I'm sure some of this will resonate.

I'm with bot A personally. 'When the rich wage war it's the poor who die' and so forth, so you'll catch me receiving my lashings in the contentious objectors camp come WW3.

so rich to hear that from a country that almost got turned into an agriculture fixture for taking nationality a wee bit to seriously. mayhaps his anxieties would be eased if he returned to farm life and celibated his heritage that way.
