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.

With the message in the body:

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

Spez is terrified of people finding greener pastures, its almost as if he knows the platform wouldn't hold up to proper scrutiny, so he's trying to ride out that popularity inertia from the 9 years of development as long as possible. Imagine how much bigger the 2023 exodus would've been if Reddit didn't remove all those posts recommending it, I'm just glad one of the lucky ones who were standing under one of the cracks in the ceiling that revealed the light, before the admins patched it and ordered their unpaid henchmen to start spreading propaganda against Lemmy by making it their Goldstein.

They didnt want me to know that I could be free from the shackles of corporate tyranny.

Whenever I mention lemmy on reddit I always get downvoted to oblivion.

Votes are being manipulated by Reddit Admins. Reddit never have any transparency with the votes. At least on Lemmy, votes are federated so other instance Admins can verify if votes are legit.

Admins have manipulated metrics at reddit since the very beginning.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Spez even edited someone’s comment that one time (that we know of).

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Be careful, a .world admin could edit your comment to something racist then ban you so it looks justified.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

If that happened I’d just stop using this account and make a move over to one of my alts as my new main account. Have you experienced what you’re describing?

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hmm... I'm feeling something on Lemmy. Do y'all feel this?

I mean this feeling of #Freedom in Lemmy

Freedom from corporate control.

Fediverse is so awesome. I'm glad people developed platforms like Lemmy (even tho I disagree with their politics, I still wanna thank them for Lemmy).

(Can y'all imagine the darker timeline where every bad thing in this timeline happened, but on top of that we also don't have Lemmy? Don't even wanna think about such a timeline...)

Unless you’re on the .world instance

That's what decentralization is for, you can pick which one you like most.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I know. I need to change.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So move instances. Thats what I did when I figured out the admins think they can cosplay lawyers rather than actually speaking to one.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I know. I’ve been busy/lazy with the holidays.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

There is no lock in, you can move instances and create any community you’d like.

I'm not even sure a mass exodus would have been a good thing. Bring a lot of bad habits it would..

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Your darn tootin I brought the bad habits!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

We still have to prepare for the bot invasions

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Of course! I'd be happy to talk about the bots already here. Bots are compiled scripts that run independently of human interaction and are often deployed in social networks to gather data or to seed messaging beneficial to the controllers of the bots. If there's anything else you'd like to know about bots just ask!

Lemmy: keep it secret, keep it safe

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Came here to say this.

Haha oh god could you imagine though.

"I wish I had gold to give, but here's my poor man's gold: 🥇"

(Then later, someone actually pays Reddit real money so they can give reddit gold)

Thank you internet stranger!!11!

[–] smokebuddy 9 points 2 days ago

$RDDT line must go up or else spez and co. won't continue to get their glorious exit $$$ while actively making the site worse and worse

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago

Sad to see.

What was the post body?
