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
 

For years, I was a very prominent community member on r/vans (different username). I have been a very large content creator there and loved the community, but I'm thru with reddit.

I had the random thought to search google images for the shoes I've posted, searching "vans [model keyword] reddit" and I was surprised to see that my posts were consistently the top image results. Half the time the first image result was one of mine, and the vast majority of the time my images were the 2nd and 3rd image results.

Here are some examples.

Those are just the tip of the iceberg. I realize now that one user absolutely can make a measurable impact, as I have undoubtedly directed an absurd amount of traffic to reddit and r/vans thru image search engines over the years. Not anymore!

I went thru reddit manually deleting years of posts off of r/vans (admins can undue the script deletion). Now there are 100s of image results on search engines that just go to my deleted reddit posts!

Most importantly.. I have created !vans@lemmy.world (alt link for apps that don't support that format) and strongly encourage any Vans fans to check it out! I have also published the greatest shoe cleaning guide on the internet over there!

First we had the Musk simps, now the Reddit ones. Go back to Reddit if you enjoy it that much, and stop trying to be the “edgy” guy here

I'm a fediverse+Reddit enjoyer sweetie. Why would I go back?

Also fuck u/spez and powermods btw

Then stop shitting where you eat, and be constructive instead of being negative, “sweetie”

[–] Slacker@marsey.moe 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But I am being constructive? :marseyconfused:

More like you should stop being negative

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're being serious then it looks like you're stuck in reddit comment mode. You're not going to be well received here dumping toxic comments on people.

A more constructive way to say what I think you meant is "Reddit will survive without us but I'm enjoying the fediverse too."

You can still say "fuck spez" all you want though lol

Boring, not reading all that! :marseysleep:
