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.

Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

Sorry to post a reddit thread, but supposedly this was because of death threats to Elon bootlickers. https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1ihq6ht/whats_going_on_with_whitepeopletwitter_that_got/

Which is ironic because Elon notoriously promoted project veritas literally catfishing his own employees at Twitter, and also brought back accounts like libsoftiktok that existed to target private individuals. But to be fair to Spez, maybe he would ban those things too.

The only consistent rule for the past decade or so at reddit has been "don't sass the nazis."

The resistance will be federated.

That ship sailed years ago.

How do people not expect this of Reddit by now

[–] [email protected] 28 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Reddit has been Facebook since like 2019-2020. Any social media service that gets too big just becomes a complete shit hole, hence my joining the fediverse.

Friendly reminder of when spez, many years ago, literally just changed a user's comment, and then went on to not be immediately fired over this insane breach of everything to do with customer relations.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was that while he was a moderator of /r/jailbait?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

Spez is a piece of shit, but wasn't that a joke? Like other mods added him as a mod?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 16 hours ago

Excellent point. I'm sure the guy who edited user comments couldn't have un-modded himself at any given point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Wouldn’t that mean that he was likely sent CSAM - and possibly didn’t report it?

That would indicate that there would be no plausible deniability about the trading rings being run by the mods and users.

Reddit would not have removed r/jailbait if it hadn’t made CNN. R/picsofdeadkids was up for long after that.

Just checking: John Brown did nothing wrong, slave owners should be killed.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 15 hours ago

Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, those who disagree will be shot in the right leg. The exception being those who think a good Nazi is one they want to torture for fun.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck...ppl still use that dumb pigs trash site? Huffman can do one. 🖕

[–] [email protected] 14 points 16 hours ago (6 children)

I finally made the jump to here today. I have no idea what federated means but I had have it with Reddit. It’s all bots and reposts.

What the fuck how is this happening without anyone in the US really doing anything

[–] [email protected] 125 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Based on the people I interact with daily basically no one realizes this is happening. Outside of the IT department no one realizes or cares. I asked how we were doing to deal with tariffs on electronics we regularly used a while back and was quietly told that was a political statement and shouldn't be brought up.

Now we have no plan and I'm too bummed to be smug about it.

Again, this is just my anecdotal view.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Ahh the classic US move, pretend the problem doesn't exist until it causes massive problems, then blame someone else.

Here from reddit also. Guilty of leveling criticism against the dominant culture in my state. If you want to be my friend please reach out 🙏

Scary that they banned WhitePeopleTwitter, a sub with 3M+ subscribers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Was that even a sub critical of Elon? I haven't been on Reddit since the API migration, but I remember that sub just being a joke response to BlackPeopleTwitter, which mostly just reposted funny tweets.

Embrace our superior locally raised [email protected], or the more inclusive and not twitter-centric [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

As long as it doesn't share the same trash mods from reddit, sure!
