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.

I was using reddit less and less, but when the furry subreddits made their way into /r/popular and /r/all that was it for toilet browsing/squat'n'surfing... Seeing a sign for 'werewolf breeding zone' was enough for me.

I’ve never cared for furry stuff, but hell, I probably would’ve stayed if I’d gotten anything nearly as hilarious as “werewolf breeding zone” instead of all the religious and techbro crap I was getting through their ads.

Yes! What was up with that Jesus ad, ad nauseum? Weird and also just boring.

I've been wondering that too, since I found the campaign to pester my kids constantly. Tried to clean their browser history and change the algorithm but it keeps popping up.

Basically it's a disgusting attempt to brainwash kids.

From Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Gets_Us

The campaign primarily targets younger demographics and religious skeptics

He Gets Us has faced criticism over the extensive spending by the campaign, its donors' support of anti-abortion and anti-LGBT groups, and disputes over claims that the campaign is apolitical.

most of the individual donors who provided the money have chosen to remain anonymous.

Maybe 'he gets us' is not the best thing for religions to be saying to kids considering all the sexual abuse scandals...

[–] Kanzar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

But he GETS us, yknow??? vomit

Apparently even the omniscient and omnipotent don’t know who their followers are and have to advertise to find them.

I now have the mental image of Spez frantically struggling to explain to advertisers why their posts were appearing besides werewolf breeding zone memes. So thanks for that.
