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.

Wonder how that’s going to work with this

I cannot image how shitty it will get with bot farms contributing and upvoting AI generated shit for people too dumb to know they’re being fed BS.

[–] Johem@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why even involve users? Bots posting AI generated stuff. Upvote bots upvote, comment bots comment and repost bots repost. Its the ciiiiiircle of life...

Can't wait for all of reddit to become identical to r/SubredditSimulator

[–] Sheltac@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Sounds like my Facebook feed.

[–] flipthetube@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, with many of the site’s top contributors having left, much of the more informative content can then be written by Reddit’s own AI. Throw in a few bot upvotes for visibility and watch the tips come in from the remaining people who don’t have a clue what’s going on.

I could see that bringing in revenue. That’s money straight from the users into Reddit’s pocket.

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The worst part is that some generated AI looks exceptional, so bad actors posting it without saying it's AI art would trick most people, anything for engagement I guess..

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Not speaking towards Art. I’m talking about llms making posts for Reddit by bots feeding them stuff.

Based on the language where they say there is something coming in the future, I would bet it's that system.

They want to invalidate all existing awards so they cannot be used to give people money under the new system and likely also remove the premium feature of getting awards for free.

People who want to reward content creators will pay for premium and awards instead of just premium now.

[–] AttackBunny@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I don’t disagree. I’m not sure how that generates revenue for Reddit though. Unless it’s their attempt to capture content creators like YouTube. Or is it more like an onlyfans type idea where people pay the creator personally through the system and they system just takes their cut.

Eh. Whatever. I’m no longer on Reddit. It I’m mildly entertained by the drama.

In the coming months, we’ll be sharing more about a new direction for awarding that allows redditors to empower one another and create more meaningful ways to reward high-quality contributions on Reddit.

I wish I had some better alternatives for the Ukraine related content, because the magazines & communities here are definitely not sufficient, and I'm not going to get Telegram and dig through all of that garbage.

Okay first of all you posted a link to a thread, and secondly I know that there's Ukraine magazines & communities. But as I already stated they do not fulfill my need for actual combat footage and recent happenings.

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, I’ll stop sharing anything I find with you. Best of luck, hope you have a good one

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Prime kneejerk reaction.

[–] AttackBunny@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn’t Al Jazeera keep up their content on Ukraine pretty well? I seem to remember they did. I could totally be imaging it too.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm talking about actual combat footage, not news articles.

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let the Ukrainian mods know to get over here.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If anything we'd need the submitters. And as I've said already, I don't have any accounts anymore.

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ok. I know other mods have rapidly moved everything lightning quick (see Piracy). It just takes a nudge to help them do it.
