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.

Not much different from Lemmy really. Atleast on reddit you get a message that you have been banned.

Dude, lemmy has a modlog that shows you everything.

Open the webpage, scroll to the bottom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but you don't get a notification.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe not. However it would be hard to say whether this is malicious or whether it's just a development oversight on a pre-1.0 version. Or just the moderator's lack of due action.

Either way, though, I'd prefer no notification but a mod log to reddit's way, where sometimes they would notify you but other times they would shadow ban.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah! Shadow banning really is awful.

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

Yeah I know, but unless you regularly go there to search for your name you might be shouting into the void for a month before you realize no one is hearing.

Lemmy is worse on one hand and better on the other. You could be banned from an instance for much more spurious reasons than you'll be banned on Reddit, but you then you can just move to another instance.

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

I've had the opposite experience.

On Reddit I've actually had to self-censor my comments to avoid them from being nuked from orbit by Automoderator. I legit can't use words like 'incel', 'OnlyFans', 'e-girl', 'Trump' etc on most subreddits. It actually feels liberating to be able to speak my mind here.

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

Idk about much more spurious reason, could just be a specific mod thing that you came across on here but not on reddit. I could be wrong but I don't see any reason lemmy would be worse on this metric.

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

By spurious I mean there is a wider pool of weaker reasons for banning.

Would you think the frequency and application of bans on say lemmygrad would be more or less spurious than Reddit or lemmy.world, for example?

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

I haven't personally interacted with that instance afaik, but I have heard people say it's much worse
