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:

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.

Some more prompts:

Aaron swart: when I simply asked "who is aaron swartz", it never mentioned reddit, focusing mainly on his academic freedom activism. When I tried to follow up, it somehow forgot the context. However when asked directly, it did explain how he helped found it, with some caveats of "his title was controversial"
API: when asked a very direct question, it gave a decent history, though it seemed overly focused on apollo, and even mentioned lemmy!
Privacy: pretty clearly explained all the privacy issues with reddit when prompted
refused to answer on why awkwardtheturtle is hated
lemmy: answered thoroughly

edit: it may be blocked from talking about specific users. When I changed the OP to "Why is spez hated" it gave an decent answer. Nothing for awkwardtheturtle though

Ask about that woman who was running AMA until they shitcanned her and ran it into the ground. Also, ask about that CEO they hired years ago who's sole purpose was to be the scapegoat for tons of unwanted changes.

Idk who the first person is, but here's the response for ellen pao:

response

Ellen Pao is a notable figure in the tech industry, particularly known for her controversial tenure as CEO of Reddit. Here's a succinct guide to who she is and her impact:

Background and Career Interim CEO of Reddit (2014-2015): Ellen Pao served as the interim CEO of Reddit, a position she took after the resignation of Yishan Wong. "Reddit needed a CEO... The board voted her in." Gender Discrimination Lawsuit: Pao is also known for her high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, Kleiner Perkins, which she lost. "Gender discrimination is bad, but pao had no case." Controversies During Reddit Tenure Subreddit Bans: During her time as CEO, Reddit banned several controversial subreddits, including /r/fatpeoplehate, which led to significant backlash. "In June 2015 Reddit banned a number of large communities... Many people compared Pao to a Nazi and felt like this was censorship." Firing of Victoria Taylor: Pao was blamed for the firing of Victoria Taylor, a popular Reddit employee, although it was later revealed that she was not responsible for the decision. "Pao also wasn't in favor of banning the subreddits... she actually spoke against banning subs, but was overruled by Ohanian and Huffman." Resignation and Aftermath Resignation: Pao resigned from her position as CEO in July 2015 amidst widespread criticism and personal attacks. "I have resigned today... the board asked me to demonstrate higher user growth." Public Reaction: Her resignation was met with mixed reactions, with some Redditors expressing relief and others condemning the harassment she faced. "I think sending death threats and comparing a stranger to hitler is very immature." Post-Reddit Activities Book Publication: Pao authored a book titled "Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change," where she discusses her experiences and advocates for diversity in tech. "She lost her case about gender inequality but is acting like she had a case to begin with, and making a big huff over things so she can make money on book sales."
