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:

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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The subreddit drama
This is awesome. Are they going to start banning any reference to the SuperMario Bros IP, now?
e.g.
"This guy is looking more and more like Bowser every day, someone ought to do something about it"
"Princess peach has had it, time to go get the parasol"
"I'm sick of these motherfucking goombas on this motherfucking Earth"
I have a suspicion that I was followed by a mod who banned me and accused me of "throwing a tantrum" and muting me from contacting him again when I asked him to justify his ban for "promoting violence" when I very plainly hadn't. I kept getting bans for the same thing across various other subs for similar non promotion of violence, rather laughing about the idea of a politician possessed by the ghost of GG Allin ruining their life with antics, and for harrassment for some post that wasn't even deleted when I got my ban, so I have no idea what it even was.
No time for that kind of nonsense. The "you're in trouble for liking the wrong comments" step is the final step into full mean girl pettiness. Reddit has become an HOA.
some large subs can crossban you, if the bots of a specific sub detects you went into a controversial sub they deemed as "brigrade threat". i once commented in joe rogan was immediately banned from 2 subs. eventhough the people on that sub, criticises joe roegan more than it supports him.
Honestly, that sounds like a blessing in disguise.
Does anyone know how to reliably delete an entire reddit account, ideally editing over each comment as well? I did this before they closed off access to the API but upon checking months later, they had reverted all the changes so my account looks like it did before with everything visible.
Why don't they just say what they really want? They want you to be docile, not challenge the echo chamber, and upvote everything and smile like an idiot. I've learned this lesson and pretty much just block all ragebait subs and mostly sit quietly in the corner. Just watch the ads like a good data point.
They have gone full grayface mode. I understand not giving a damn about a few individual users, but now they are on a complete power-trip that will destroy them.
I am not surprised though. Someone with money is now exerting influence because Reddit is the most popular place for the resistance to oligarchy. Oligarchy aim is to own all media and they believe that will be the end of resistance's ability to spread messages.
Time to invite them over?

lemmy.world mods be like: 👀
We're on a lemmy.world community right now and people seem to be talking about it just fine...?
To be fair, lemmy.world response was more like "can you folks please not get us nuked IRL, we have to remove the most colourful posts, sorry" and not this Reddit response, which is more like "has anyone seen Spez? He locked himself in the closet with a shotgun aimed at the door, and we hear some agitated breathing from that direction every time someone nearby plays a Mario game"
