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.

“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise.

“FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor)

Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree

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

I mean, I don’t wanna fuck him but you do you 🤷‍♀️

"Fire the moderator of r/jailbait!"

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

Why would I want Spez fired when he's been so helpful in spreading awareness and encouraging adoption of the fediverse?

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whats firing supposed to do?

Im pretty sure hes planning on leaving on his own as soon as Reddit IPOs and he can bail out with his millions.

I think everyone would be better off ignoring Reddit and its staff completely. We can build a better Reddit 2.0, and it wouldn't even take a lot of effort. The last year or two of Reddit (from my perspective) was lackluster content from niche communities becoming unbearably toxic anyway.

[–] MelonTheMan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And bots. And sponsored content.

[–] shandrakor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I didn't mind a good infobot in a niche sub, but moving exclusively to lemmy has made me realize just how insidious the bots and sponsored content are over there. I felt attacked, for lack of a better word, by them even if I wasn't interacting with them.

I wonder how much of reddit is dark internet and how much is real users, and how expotentially that might grow. It should be interesting to observe the collapse at any rate.

Eh. Lemmy is pretty good. I've moved on. I hope more people do as well and it can go in the giant Internet "has been" pile.

More effective to say "Reddit it dead" at this point, not that it's useful either just leave and don't look back honestly

[–] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

r/SaveThirdPartyApps got banned?? When did this happen? What was the reason?

Why?

Who cares?

The only reason I can think of that you would want to see him fired is if you still believe he is the one and the only problem. If it wasn't him, it would be somebody else. The whole industry is effectively in the process of imploding. Without him, it would just be some other corporate penny pincher. The problem is the profit incentive.

Also...why bother? The only reason I can think to do this would be because you believe if he's fired, there's a chance reddit is saved and we can all go back.

You're still holding on. Let it go, buddy.

Just stop talking about the entire site completely. Every time you talk about it, or the people it just adds to their counter of people interacting and it helps them out. The place is dead. Let it burn and let the douchebags that have made it a shit hole stay there while we enjoy this place until it goes the same way.

Who the hell is gonna fire him, though? That's like clamoring for Mark Zuckerberg to be fired. It's probably impossible to.
