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.

“Reddit is publicly extending an olive branch to the moderator community that it largely enraged over recent weeks…But as you might expect, mods remain skeptical.”

Videlock is reconsidering being a Reddit mod these days but said Reddit's outreach is an appreciated step in the right direction.

In what fucking world??? How is it a step in the right direction? This "outreach" is no more than damage control. It's a company realizing they fucked up, and wanting to mitigate PR damage without actually fixing their shitty practices.

A sucker's born every minute.

"I'm sorry I hit you baby. I won't do it again. And this is a chance for us to reflect on why you deserved it."

Okay!

Nah, they just want the mod teams back until they can recruit a team of sycophants to replace them.

This is no different than your old job calling you a week after you quit offering you more money to come back.

Yeah, I do wonder if that’s what they want - bring back the old moss while having the new moss help out under the guise of “they are providing additional support to make your life easier!”

That gives the new mods free training and then Reddit can axe the old mods again. or maybe I am giving them too much credit.

If I had a penny for every time a corporate figurehead says they'll be more transparent and will engage with the users more but then they just don't or do the opposite, I could buy reddit from Huffman
