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.

I had to keep reminding myself that it’s August, not April 1st. This is asinine.
I got their email about ending the old awards, etc.
I told them to shove what I had up their ass along with their shitty app.
I guess I'm off the mailing list.
IDGAF about fake internet points from people I don't know. I don't need validation.

The fact that it just spits out a CSV in an announcement post per subreddit that you have to manually download and CTRL+F your username is hilarious for a company this big. They couldn't implement a proper dashboard?

Embarassing. Does anyone in Silicon Valley have original thoughts anymore?

Holy. Fucking. Shit.
"Own your community with our blockchain bullshit, but fuck you gently if you try to exert any control over it if it works against our IPO."
What a bunch of shitbirds. Fuck me, I'm so glad I'm shut of that dumpster fire. Let 'er burn.
Damn that’s just strange. Reddits explanation still doesn’t really explain what “community points” actually do. I don’t really get what their angle is with this.
Why would they do a 180 (from recent policy) and talk about how subreddits should be semi-independent? And are they really planning on making “community points” based off if you moderate and post, rather than paying for them?

Rest in piss. "Got out at the right time" is underselling it.
Cmon, grandpa spez... lets get you to bed.
Wow. I read through most of the pages. What a convoluted system! Besides several new terms that are interdependent and poorly defined, this scheme is going to be impossibly opaque to users and orders of magnitude more complex than upvote/downvote. I especially don't like that points are directly related to karma, when karma whoring and botting are prevalent. Last thing we need is karma earning one some measure of influence or control in a community.
They clearly think this is something people will simply get used to should they not enthusiastically embrace it. Why they think that in an era of other platforms dumbing down interaction to nothing more than an upvote I can't wrap my head around.
What a colossal waste of resources. Thankfully it appears to be opt in by sub for now, though I doubt that will last.
This Reddit coins on a blockchain has been happening for a while. The cryptocurrency subreddit had "Moons" for years now.
I sold 110k Moons as soon as they came out, nobody tell me how much they're worth now

Got an email from Reddit the other day telling me to "spend my Reddit coins while I still can". It reminded me that I still have a Reddit account, so I just login and delete it (mass delete all my posts and edit all my comments since July).

Aww, poor spez, missed the crypto hype by about a year. They say timing is the hardest part of product management, and spez again proves he is really fucking terrible at it.
