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.

MODERATORS
 

This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being "unmoderated", but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.

I'm sorry, I misinterpreted you saying "I chose world" as a negative thing.

I'm also on World and I like it a lot!

It was important to me to find a place that was similar enough to reddit to let my transition be easier. I've been on reddit for like 14 years and I just wanted an alternative that is close to what I knew.

I like world a lot, but in general I like the whole idea of the Fediverse.

Well, it's not the instance itself that I'm playing up as a negative. It's my reasoning without hearing any other arguement on the subject before making my decision. Which is pretty much how I made that choice. I wanted the default Lemmy. Well, there is no default. So I picked the biggest because it was the biggest, and therefore the closest thing to a default.

And a lot of people here don't like the fact that was how my decision making process went due to not knowing what a fediverse was. I STILL wouldn't say I'm proficient at using peertube. I "get" it, but I'd still say I'm right back to not knowing which instance to sign up for. Especially since on peertube it matters a lot more.

I'm also still trying to learn all this stuff. I've never even heard of Peertube.

Imagine youtube.....except it's a broken disfunctional mess with no content.
