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.

This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

It's always been like this for potentially nsfw subreddits

[–] hoodatninja@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Which makes sense. This is completely different.

Just use old.reddit.com if your still going to view reddit...

Yeah, it is not as nice as the modern version (modern version iscomplete and total garbage imho), but the old.reddit.com still functions and gives you the exact same content without the hassle of the modern site. Just not as nicely formatted for mobile...

But it is only a matter of time till they get rid of it too.

You also have to be logged in, in order to automatically use old.reddit.com (without an extension to auto-route links back to it, at least). I know because when I used reddit in...erm, private mode, it would always route me to the new, awful ui which didn't support RES.

Looks like they’re using a bullshit excuse to funnel people into their mobile app.

They're getting desperate.

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

Honestly from where I sit seems like the opposite. They are confident they are doing whats best for them, not the platform. They are cleaning house and setting up for new monetization schemes of the platform. Removing people from the platform they can't harvest data from is a net positive from their point of view.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I genuinely believe that Reddit and Twitter are concerned about AI scraping their website thus allowing users to access the data without visiting the actual websites.

This, to me, is another benefit of the fediverse. These instances don’t care if AI is scraping their data because they aren’t in it to monopolize the user created content. They don’t create the content and they recognize they don’t own the content.

So long as the instances are financially solvent, they are happy.

In other words, "censorship" -- "We shape this site our way and there is nothing you can do about it."

Aaaand that is the final nail in the coffin for me. Rip in pepperonis plebbit.
