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.
If you still have access to your account, screenshots of the last “offending” post or comment would be great. https://lemmy.world/c/banhammered
The politics sub for my country (UK) was doing an AMA with some shitty hard-right misinfo rag. Using an undelete util, I was able to see that they'd deleted any questions relating to the publications track record of provable dis- and misinfo. And they weren't questions like "fuck you you pieces of shit", they were well-written and polite. But didn't fit the narrative trying to be built.
I commented something like "Why are fair and reasonable questions being deleted? I thought this was ask me anything, not make x publication look good"
I was immediately banned for 'persistent mod abuse'.
Wow. Do you have screengrabs of the deleted questions?
I don't, unfortunately. I messaged one of the mods who from their post history wasn't a hard-right saboteur about it, didn't get a response but I think I was silently un-banned... I accidentally commented on a post a few months later thinking I was in UnitedKingdom sub and it went through / was replied.
