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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

elon musk got a subreddit banned, because of "percieved threats"

[–] emberpunk@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 hours ago

Getting banned from reddit is doing yourself a favor. Leave that site and avoid looking back when possible. Trash site.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish 9 points 5 hours ago

Elon does not deserve to reference dark souls.

Imagine being handed the black knight's halberd, with the stats to wield it, before asylum demon‽

That is fucking Elon!

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

So Luigi is peaceful then right, so why did the police go after him?

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

It's almost like the person who wrote that text in the photo didn't actually understand what any of the words they were saying meant. Like actually. lol

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

I've been told that musk didn't come up with that quote himself. I didn't look further into it, but it's likely that the person who originally wrote it understood what they were talking about, and musk just thought it sounded cool. Hell, I think it sounds cool, might use it in a villainous monologue or some shit.

[–] Pupscent@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

I totally agree. What a load of bullshit.

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 40 points 9 hours ago (6 children)

People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

[–] Civil_Liberty@lemm.ee 12 points 6 hours ago

We can't let billionaires own the town hall if we plan on having honest conversations. I am glad I finally found this place, and wish I would have left reddit earlier.

[–] elrod666@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I'm kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I'm biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I've actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I'm considering.

Welcome btw :)

[–] heyoceanfloor@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I just joined recently and was lurking until I saw your comment. Figured I'd join in :)

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

Aye welcome to Lemmy! :) Happy to see you here

[–] PeripheralGhost@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Left reddit... left Google... left Amazon... left meta... never had Twitter.

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I am still on some meta services because my family is there. But I only post stuff relevant to those people. Everything else is fediverse and bluesky

[–] Casteyes@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 10 points 9 hours ago

Indeed. I deleted my reddit account recently. I like it better here anyways. The pace is slower and the people seem more reasonable here too. My stress levels have decreased significantly since I left Meta and Reddit and that is at once wonderful and scary. Social media is a cancer.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons.

Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 1 points 4 hours ago

It's a true statement.

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

got in trouble for 'liquidated'. Secret word list code for violence. Filters used to be useful and just replace the offending text.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Welcome to the world of bot moderation without any human to put it into context.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago (6 children)

The world needs to forcefully liquidate the wealth of all billionaires and perpetually redistribe that excess wealth so nobody can ever be rich again.

The rich that push back need to be labled as dangerous terrorists that are a threat to our species, and will need to be put down like rabid dogs.

[–] Casteyes@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

They sentenced a person to death for 12 billion dollar bank fraud in Vietnam. I feel like their culture has the right idea.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Wow I thought I was reading one of my own posts. Greetings, comrade!

They've also been banning accounts for liking comments about Green Mario doing nothing wrong. It's about the closest thing to thought crime I've ever seen. (PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 30 points 13 hours ago (6 children)

I don't mean this as an attack at all, but isn't calling Luigi "Green Mario" a way to comply with the wired reddit cencorship?

We are on Lemmy, you can speak freely here.

Or did something just go over my head?

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Also innocent until proven guilty, a lot of people seem to forget that one.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It's actually pretty likely he's not the guy. While they have a picture of him from a nearby hostel, the picture from cctv at the scene doesn't match quite so well.

I made a comment self censored to "Mario bros" on reddit. Got a permanent ban. They're going scorched earth on anything moderately inflammatory

He absolutely did something wrong, he got caught.

And I felt his manifesto was not very well written.

Violence is a double edged sword. It can easily swing the other way. Elon might be misjudging how that sword is balanced.

The faster everyone deletes their Reddit, the better we will be. Fuck Reddit.

So why isn't Elon Musk banned then?

“I’m peaceful because I am capable of kicking your ass” has true mall ninja energy.

“you studied humanity [and made friends] while I studied the blade”
