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.

r/europe was as much of a right-wing cesspool as r/worldnews since forever. You all were fine with that.
Now look at all of you crybabies bcs the full on fascist tok over from your precious fascist lite.
Anyone wo wasn't banned waaaay before has clearly not had the balls to even mildly criticise a genocide or whatever.
Bunch of manufactured consent tools, and then think they are in some way more respectable.

It's become pretty clear that Reddit has chosen to slide into corpo-fascism. Don't be surprised when signs of dissent are squashed, when rebellious subreddits are systematically suppressed until they're removed entirely, when the accounts of those who resist are closed and IP banned. Abandon all hope of free expression there, they've chosen their side and aren't going to entertain the opposition any longer.

After 12 years, and nearly a million karma, i was permabanned right after HitlerPig was inaugurated, for repeating an opinion that i have stated many times. Nobody ever said a word until HitlerPig was in office, then suddenly I was permabanned. I came over to Lemmy, only to find i wasn't alone.

I suspect the reason is because Ohanion wamts to buy TikTok, and he knows that HitlerPig will be making the decision personally, based on who smooches his ass, follows his orders, and pays the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he abandons Reddit's doctrine of Free Speech.

Deleted my Reddit account after more than a decade today.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I started deleting saved posts and comments today - planning to delete my account when that's all done.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 17 points 15 hours ago

I love the simple brilliance of "Elon Musk is a bellend", nothing more really needs to be said.

Reddit is a Nazi web site.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 27 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Reddit is run by Nazis*

[–] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

...so it's a Nazi website.

[–] NoFearFrontier@feddit.org 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You know how the Germans see it. " If there are 4 people at the table and one of them is a nazi, then there are 4 Nazis at the table"

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 7 points 11 hours ago

I see MAGA the same way.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

Can safely upvote and share without breaking Terms and Conditions

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee -1 points 7 hours ago

LOL. have you tried feddit de/org

it is not the platform that is a problem. it is humans. like in homo sapiens. and it is illegal to go to next level homo sapiens sapiens because it makes the dumb kida know they arw stupid.

[–] hikuro93@lemmy.ca 41 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Yup. Also got my account suspension due to "suspicious activity" on "upvoting and engaging with discriminatory and violent content".

Meaning I upvoted posts condemning US's current position, and correcting the swarm of misinformation by US shills.

Glad I finally managed to nuke my entire reddit history and delete my account. F' that toxic cesspool. R/Europe and other euro-canadian subs already felt like more US and Russian shills were active than actual europeans or canadians.

As soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, I was permabanned after 12 years and almost a million Karma. I was sad at first, but more and more, Reddit is filled with bots, trolls, punsters, novelty accounts, and plenty of other nonsense. 50% of most comment sections were bullshit, and its been increasingly difficult to have a good faith discussion without it breaking down because of a flood of bad faith contributions.

I've come to terms with the idea that im better off. Without vigorous discussion, what good is Reddit?

[–] hikuro93@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Precisely that. If a forum meant for discussion has its credibility compromised, what good is it as a discussion platform?

It's one thing disagreeing with one's PoV or not tolerating actual aggressive/toxic behavior. It's another entire thing to censor opinions written with civility and arguments, or allow for bots to derail any meaningful discussion and demotivate/shame people for what they believe in. En masse, at that.

I am willing to learn another person's PoV if it differs from my own - heck, if they make a compelling argument and present facts I had not considered I might even change my stance on the subject.

But simply discussing in bad faith and relying solely on insults or disinformation, plus an unwillingness to also consider other people's PoV is not the way to reach common ground on differing positions. That's when I realize that person is playing around and I might as well not give them their fix of dopamine.

Never thought Reddit is so shady.

I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like "fox news" as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
- ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)

had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.

Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people

Welcome! Similar story. I upvoted on a long standing account and got warned. Not sure which upvote did it. I’ve got a few hundred thousand karma across accounts. Had a fair share of OC hitall. Pretty typical engaged user.

Then I tried to help someone in a niche sub with buying bedding. And auto admin mod kept removing my comment post. Then the sub mods messaged me and said they tried to make my comment visible multiple times and couldn’t override the admin.

Then I followed mod advice and reposted my helpful comment only to get an auto banned on all accounts from the admin for “spam” (for two comments? Really?). The sub admin were able to override the ban and reinstate me since I did nothing wrong.

It’s way too frustrating to deal with. Out of the past year like 800 normal/helpful comments of mine have been shadow removed or admin removed.

At that point I’m just talking to myself. After 12 years, I never thought I’d leave Reddit but here we are. Happy to be on Lemmy.

Welcome. I was on Reddit for more than a decade. It was fun while it lasted but we are all better here on Lemmy.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (2 children)

i was annoyed how many foxnews articles was being posted on subs, do you people take fox news as serious enws?

some niche subs are super sensitive if you contradict them, something like r/gym bans you for even mentioning PEDS. i was responding someone qouting rob machelenny from isaip, said if he was juiced he would get that big, which was true by his own admission.

[–] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Fox news legally isn't news in the US, its entertainment.

[–] arakhis_@feddit.org 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ye im still somewhat looking into reddit (also to just realize what similar communities I should follow here)

There's just so many whack websites as basis for discussion. Like newsgeek or other tabloids and people act like it's the most official matter.

Feels like everyone only reads the headline and starts mashing their keyboards. And your reception tends to be less text = lie. The recent behavior and interaction feels similar to today's Twitter in terms of rage induction, just for nerds

[–] arakhis_@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago

It's been very wholesome so far.

Thank you :)
