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.

Just saw this, and didnt see it here.

The minecraft devs have decided that Reddit is no longer a suitable place for their official discussions.

Cool, but let's not pretend Mojang are the good guys.

They added chat moderation on private servers that you host yourself on your own hardware using your own internet.

The entire community was in uproar over it for months and they didn't care. They deleted all criticism from their sub and continued on like nothing was happening. They refused to answer any questions about it, and uploaded new snapshots that only had ONE change, and that was to break mods that disabled chat moderation.

This was so bad it actually prompted modders to backport all of the 1.19 features to 1.18.

Just thought I'd remind everyone. Mojang is a shit company now that they are owned by Microsoft. They are not the good guys.

for sure. They can do something good in one context, and something that i strongly disagree with in another.

How is this related though

This has been a thing for every major modern version. Its faster for a single enterprising dev to backport things than for the entire mod scene to update to a new version. I distinctly remember playing Blackgear's Caves and Cliffs Backport on 1.16.

There are, however, Forge/Fabric mods that completely remove the reporting system.

Wow didn't know about the chat moderation. Haven't spun up my server since a year or so, but good to know for when the next cycle of Minecraft gaming sessions hit again.

This. I stopped playing Minecraft when they tried to force me to enter my real phone number to keep using my account.

Give us your first born child or we won't let you use what you paid us for!

MineTest is better anyway. If you miss it, play that instead.

I have to admit that it was a while since I tried any Minecraft-likes, but the last time I tried most of them were pretty bare-bones. Vintage Story is decent, but it's much more focused on the survival aspect (which makes it a bit tedious) and doesn't have a lot of content, either.

Maybe I'll give it a try again.
