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.

Ironically, I swing by old.shittyplace.com to check out /r/conservative and/or /r/askaconservative every so often to see if any of them are starting to figure it out yet (spoiler alert: they aren't, or they are celebrating it), and they always have a first page thread about how Reddit is just a liberal recruiting mouthpiece these days etc etc.

Today is no exception.

And for a bonus they have a thread about how Ask Reddit is just out of control with bait for conservatives - I took a peek and there are two current threads that have anything at all to do with conservatives.

The conservative persecution complex is strong, never fear.

Remember, conservative voices must be getting silenced because they never shut the fuck up telling us so.

I just got a violent content warning for upvoting someone calling musk a "stupid person's version of a smart man" on a post about his trucks being vandalized.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 11 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Trump is openly preparing to invade both Canada and Mexico and these motherfuckers are bitching about Musk being called what he is!

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 6 points 56 minutes ago

The party of "fuck your feelings" everyone!

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

So desperate to even be Zuckerberg relevant pathetic

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

I'm trying to understand this comment. What exactly do you mean?

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 3 points 3 hours ago

Reddit is a massive social media, and Spez seems desperate to be at the same table as the likes of Zuckerberg. I think this sort of behaviour highlights it.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 27 points 14 hours ago (11 children)

I got perma banned from my OG account for engaging with ruzzian trolls. Apparently telling them they'd look good fertilizing sunflowers, and digging babushka a fresh latrine pit is "promoting violence". No warnings, just straight to ban. Reddit allows obvious ruzzian gas lighters, but bans those who call them out. That is Reddit today, a hotbed of ruzzian and nazi propaganda.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 1 points 43 minutes ago

There has been a recent flood of pro-russia pro-trump moderators in almost all the reddit subs i frequent. I also just got a permanant ban for evasion to post this. "It wasn't enought to just amplify the idiots voices, they have to smother the voices of reason and doubt" Apparently that was uncivil way to speak about the mods.

[–] PeteZa@lemm.ee 13 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

I got perma banned for being too mean to MAGAs

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

you probably offended u/Spez on his alt account .

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Me as well and then I got banned later for evading the band

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

So when does Reddit run out of users?

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 1 points 38 minutes ago* (last edited 38 minutes ago)

Everyone of us that gets banned gets replaced by 3 ruzzian bots. So never. But when does the public realize that reddit is an echo chamber of polarizing bots? dunno.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 1 points 52 minutes ago

Better question. When does reddit run out of real users.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 6 points 11 hours ago

alot of politics and news subs have been co-opted by right leaning people.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] PeteZa@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Yea, it’s not difficult to do that. They’re more sensitive than a clit.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Same here, I simply made a comment about "the Muscovites receiving a dose of their own medicine" and fucking Russian shill, Putin Bot and/or MAGAt reported me. To top it off, I did not use a single swear word in the comment. Fuck Russia and Reddit.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

i always commented on many of those subs, how alot of them are just russian bots/trolls, and people respond to these posts like its an actual person doing it, no its all russia. Half of the comments are more than likely russian bots, if reddit actually DOES ITS JOBS, reddit would be a very quiet place. i get that theres alot from US propaganda farms, but it pales in comparison to russia.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

It's hilarious how magats don't like free speech when it's directed against them. Bunch of loathesome pussies.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

i got temp ban, for reporting trolls, lol. apparently reporting more than once in arbitrary amount of time, is considered report abuse. its the same type of comments you hear from .ml false, pushing a botty narrative.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

That's what I got banned for, though mine was permanent.

I feel like everyone here either doesn’t like Reddit or has been permanently banned. Like me lmfao

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

probably the latter, i was permabanned on 5+accs at once, when i was temp banned on an old one. found out reditt was deliberately doing a massive sweep to eliminate as much accounts as possible early FEB.

too risky to even make a new account or even comment on most sub with my only one that is partially flagged. i tested by commented a bunch on a niche sub that isnt monitored heavily by filters or mods.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 1 points 34 minutes ago

From my research last night, mid-late FEB was when all the pro trump mods got intoduced to popular subs.

[–] Mechanite@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

That's an interesting point. I wonder how many Lemmy users have had nothing to do with Reddit. I can't imagine that many

[–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 1 points 28 minutes ago

I still have a Reddit account but I've not logged in since the API business. I really don't miss it.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago

There are a few. One thing to point out is that Mastadon users can (albeit in a clunky fashion) view and interact with Lemmy communities. I could see someone who is only into microblogging services interacting on a community here when they would have never signed up for reddit.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

let me tell you how you get removed from lemmy.world

[–] Yuckers1967@lemm.ee 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Just left reddit...getting used to lemm.ee now

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

i saw .ML and .WORld, WEVE been told to avoid .ml, and world i cant even get registered anyways, and since you can just use account on this one and look world post.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If I'm not feeling Lemm.ee what should I use?

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

I've been eyeing db0
