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.

There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.

Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

I'm officially labeling Reddit as Nazi sympathizers, this isn't a joke I am completely genuine.

The reason I know about Lemmy is because a few days ago they permanently suspended my account for "glorifying violence"

The horrible thing I said was that "I should have a legally protected right to punch Nazis" in a post featuring a video where a big dude knocks a neo nazi the fuck out. They swiftly denied an appeal to this ban as well so fuck me I guess.

Even if you think that I shouldn't be allowed to say that, (which is stupid), I don't think it's permanent ban sitewide territory, especially when far worse things are happening on that site.

Some fuckwit had to actually manually flag that, according to their obnoxiously long DM about it.

On top of everything else they had the balls to say I should "familiarize myself with the TOS" like bitch you just banned me from the whole ass site forever I think it's pretty safe to wipe my ass with the reddit TOS at this point.

You endorsed violence, that is against terms of service, there is no clause for "it's ok to endorse violence against people we don't like". If you think that a blanket ban against endorsements of violence makes them nazi sympathisers, then you have some growing up to do.

You only have yourself to blame and you should be careful that you don't find yourself banned elsewhere.

My last interaction had me answering someone’s question then getting a permaban from some insecure mod who didn’t like that reality made them sad. I just walked away after 16 years.

Come to @apple_enthusiast here and watch the haters play. I wish it were just reddit.

You get banned and muted even if you don't follow the rules. Also many of these rules are just umbrellas to give mods reason to surpress your ability to be heard if they deem fit.
