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.

Reddit is a Nazi web site.

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 9 points 23 hours ago

I see MAGA the same way.

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

[–] hikuro93@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 day ago (4 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.

Can safely upvote and share without breaking Terms and Conditions

[–] arakhis_@feddit.org 46 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

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

[–] tischbier@feddit.org 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

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 20 hours ago

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

[–] arakhis_@feddit.org 2 points 21 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

I was in a similar situation karma-wise. I was happy there until I saw how ruthless the mods could be. This is a better alternative to all that.

Because Reddit has chosen the wrong side of history.

Just like multiple German companies did when Hitler and his fascists rose to power.

[–] alp@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Those companies are still fucking filthy rich though.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

American companies too, IBM played a role in the holocaust.

[–] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As did Ford and GE, and... something about a business plot?

[–] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

And those assholes all got off Scott free. Should have been executed as the traitors they were.

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

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 118 points 1 day ago (20 children)

Because those who appease our new robot overlords will be handsomely rewarded! (Or at least tortured slightly less)

I love that its "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi ... Bellend"

[–] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 64 points 1 day ago (12 children)

I love all these. But what I particularly love is that there are three really clever ones and the fourth is like, fuck it, let's just call him a bellend.

Reddit is run by Nazi collaborators.

[–] Lord_Bork@sopuli.xyz 28 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I am a Reddit refugee aswel. The moderators over there are way too petty. They removed countless posts from me for totally unclear reasons.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

i think recent bans are coming from top down, aka reddit amins, and spez. the massive amount of people banned are from that right now.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

It's dumb, you see posts deleted all the fucking time that fit the spirit of subreddits. Half the time the OPs don't even know their post was deleted by the mods, and there's absolutely no comment from the mods indicating why it was removed.

I miss 2010 Reddit.

I wish the US knew how to protest

[–] Jhuskindle@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

We are, media is being stifled intentionally.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I don't mean standing on street corners. I mean replacing ads, billboards, graffiti etc

there was a petition on reddit a few days ago, it got 16k signatures ... 16 fucking k in a country of 350 million!

meanwhile, there was 800.000 people on the streets of belgrade a couple of days ago, 4 months after the protests began still going stronger and stronger

americans don't know shit about protesting
