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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So it's basically Reddit NFTs. Let's just call it as it is.

It is time for them to take back ownership and control. It is time for a change.

Lol. You're still on Reddit. You're not controlling shit.

As blockchain tokens that are owned and controlled by communities themselves — not by any app or platform — Community Points represent a way for Redditors to own a piece of their favorite communities.

You don't own it, it's made by Reddit, distributed by Reddit, and only useful on Reddit and not anywhere else. What's the meaning of decentralization and ownership if it's only useful in one place?

Without the fun!

Yes but "NFT" has been exposed for what it is, a bag holder scam, so now they're trying to rebrand.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're behind the times, they should have found some way to integrate AI into this

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

And beanbag babies. I hear beanbag babies are a great way of investing money.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly. That's why we should call it Reddit NTFs regardless.

Counterpoint: "give reddit money".

It is time for them to take back ownership and control. It is time for a change.

Left wing platform reddit uses right wing populist rhetoric?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Probably right wing populists are the majority there now. Intelligent people abandoned the dumpster fire. Just like Twitter. It's just a far-right cesspool of hate now.

So it's basically Reddit NFTs.

Nah, it can't be an NFT with a cringy picture of an anthropomorphic animal and/or Trump attached.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah this isnt NFTs. They already introduced NFTs a while ago with their shitty profile pictures that are as shameful to own as a blue checkmark. This is them trying to introduce their own crypto currency after the market already crashed lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, this is way more akin to Ubisoft Quartz NFT than Bitcoin or Ethereum. Bitcoin and the likes can be mined, exchanged, and used in all kinds of places, where Reddit points is only valuable on Reddit, not anywhere else.
