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.

They are doing this to reduce the reliance on mods. Tbf appeals almost never worked, but not linking content is explicitly to obscure accountability. It becomes harder to show that reddit moderation is garbage, even more so since the shortage, and much easier to automate.
They used to link to the content... then you followed the link, and all it said was "Removed by Reddit". Guess they're saving you a step there ๐คท
They linked to comments and the sub too. Change the url from reddit.com/whatever to reveddit.com/whatever and you can see most of deleted comments.
And even with a link you can see which comment it was in context and argue reddit was wrong/made the wrong decision/trying to burry something. They can also just ban people from discussions and claim it was "something they did in the past" but not say what.
Reddit is not doing this to save you a click.
Deleted, not edited comments. The linked comment would be edited to say "Removed by Reddit", which reveddit wouldn't see as a deleted comment, and it didn't keep an edit history so there was no way to see what the comment said before (I know, I tried).
You could see it in context, but if you thought you didn't break any rules, that wouldn't help much, and no way to argue it.
Anyway, my best ban was for "violent content" from a sub with no link. Decided to blank the last month of comments... and got suspended site wide for repeated "violent content" offense. Blanked 10 years of comments... and that bought me 2 more years before getting suspended again, and perma banned when I appealed the suspension.
Cherry on the top: a couple months after being perma-banned site-wide, last week I got banned from a sub. Reason: link to a blanked comment, "breaking the sub rules". OK ๐ฅฑ
