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.

Hello! Migrated over to Lemmy. I've noticed in the past few weeks a lot of posts/comments about protests, criticizing Nazis and Elon being censored/removed. This was all magnified in the past few hours as /r/whitepeopletwitter was banned tonight to satisfy fElon.

Another reason to leave Reddit.

[–] marcie@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 hour ago

Tell them to come to Lemmy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

Why are people still using Xitter? jesus. Move on to mastadon or bluesky or anything other than this insane nazi's personal media platform.

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 1 points 2 hours ago

To be fair, last time I visited it I found some dumb posts and content (the subreddit name being one of the reasons), but it seems like it was pretty appreciated

PS: Fuck Musk

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 5 hours ago

The only surprising part of this is that it's for posts about doge employees and not banning Twitter links

oh god it's happening again

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Good. Spez is going to kiss the ring of Musk, I guarantee it.

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 minutes ago

He already praised musk’s handling of twitter a while ago and based his approach with Reddit on that

Holy shit! Is there no limit to this fucker's reach? Money really does buy everything.

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 hours ago

honestly even knowing reddit's antics i was shocked by this too.

[–] Ice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 hours ago

When power and tools are given to a central authority to dictate what communication, expression and thought is "prohibited", for essentially any reason, it is only a matter of time before that is abused.

Why is this racially segregated?

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 5 points 1 hour ago

BPT and WPT is not a form of segregation. It reflects the creation of distinct online spaces catering to different cultural expressions and humor.

if I wasn't a mod of a subreddit I'd consider deleting it entirely. definitely going to limit my use permanently after reading this, Fuck Elon.

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I left my subreddit of 10 million users behind when it became apparent that spez isnt better than musk.

Get a grip.

[–] Inf_V@kbin.earth 2 points 37 minutes ago
[–] LaminatedDenim@lemmy.world 20 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You're not required to keep being a mod there, you know

[–] Inf_V@kbin.earth -1 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I have commitments, plus the community which I'm working on a game for I interact with is only on reddit primarily.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 3 points 59 minutes ago (1 children)

You do you. A lot of people here are probably bullshitting themselves; and honestly, leaving will only exacerbate the problem of media silos. They want to take over Reddit and turn it into another X when there it still has a massive Anti-Trump presence, evidently by this sub getting temp-banned.

[–] Inf_V@kbin.earth 2 points 33 minutes ago

yeah I like interacting isolated with the three communities I still consider normal hobby wise,once everything dries up though I would leave then, otherwise this is still my main interaction outlet so far.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 14 points 7 hours ago

Those commitments are ephemeral at best and can also be recreated over here. I’m using Voyager and honestly it feels no different than being on Reddit from a UI. People are moving to Mastadon, BlueSky, PixelFeed and others so it’s already been proven it’s not too hard to move.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 7 hours ago

You should become a mod of a Lemmy community instead

[–] parpol@programming.dev -3 points 9 hours ago

Fuck elon, but also good riddance.
