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.

That you accuse leftists and marginalized groups of "mAkInG iT ThEiR wHoLe IdEnTiTy" tells me everything I need to know about your privilege and worldview, and explains immediately why you'd prefer reddit, a notorious alt-right platform.

We're generally not welcome on reddit, so the fact that bigots and transphobes or right-wingers get immediately dunked on here is actually a good feature, and makes this far less toxic overall.

FYI I've blocked you, so I won't see any further hot takes from you and therefore won't respond. My time and sanity are far too valuable to waste on someone like you.

Ah perfect. Sets up a strawman, completely misses the point of my post, says one of the dumbest things I've ever heard (reddit being an alt-right website*) and then immediately moves to block in response to me saying this place is a hostile echo chamber. 10/10, no notes, illustrates the point I was trying to make better than I did.

Just to be clear for other readers, I was not saying that any of those things are bad I was saying that this place has a purity test that borders on stupidity which this post illustrates well.

* just how does one come to this conclusion? It's less lefty than Lemmy, but not by much. It's alt-right communities are usually either banned, quarantined, and regardless of the technicals of the website or how the admins run it, they've always been outcast and if you say "vote for trump" in any but the clearly right echo chambers, you're going to get downvoted to hell.

It's fine for actual bigots to get dunked on. But Lemmy users will dunk on you: literally for liking the "wrong" piece of software. The echo chamber is real.

I've not noticed. Can you provide an example? You mean Chrome?

Honestly, I wish more people would switch to Firefox, but I'd never dunk on someone for Chrome. I might try to talk them out of it though lol

You perfectly illustrated the point
