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.

MODERATORS
Imagine saying a woman isn’t a woman and thinking you’re being civil.
You’ll find an instance that fits your liking though, I’m sure. Most other instances won’t be federated with it but you don’t want to live in our “liberal echo chamber” anyway.
ITT: OP discovers that his problem actually is just that his opinions are odious.
You're right, I'm totally a liberal now. You guys converted me. Thanks so much.
Yes, that would be civil. It's just an opinion. It is not attacking or name calling.
But let me ask you this: if you agree with all this, why did you come here then? Reddit would be great for you then, no?
Opinions are for things like whether pineapple belongs on pizza, not whether people deserve the right to exist or have equal rights.
So you truly believe whether or not someone is allowed to exist is an opinion and not a right?
What is a right? We are talking about opinions vs. facts. Yes, it is your opinion that people have the right to do or have something or not.
And if that thing is life you believe it is the personal opinion of others that is the final decider?
Are you an American?
Yeah... You're not going to have a good time with expressing those kinds of views here or through most of the Fediverse. Most of us are not willing to tolerate proto-genocidal opinions, which is what you appear to be espousing, drawn to its logical conclusion.
So you're saying that liberals can't avoid thinking in absolutes? Which means I just have to accept that discussions with them are impossible? I know there are exceptions though, you already seem to be better than most.
If you think Lemmy by default is a safe haven for conservative bigots then you’re gonna be very disappointed.
I do not want a safe haven, I want a place where things can be discussed freely. But what is your answer to my question? Why do you or why do liberals come here if it is not about the politics?
Well you can discuss everything here - as long as you stay civil. There are not even worthless internet points to lose. But from what I've read from your comments here, you will face different opinions and you may should thinking about them and your own, too
That's fine.
I didn’t realize liberals must congregate on Reddit. I must have missed that memo.
I left Reddit for many reasons, and I don’t owe you an explanation on any of them.
Lol luckily you're not being defensive about some totally trivial thing.
Yes I’m a liberal snowflake 🥲 thank you for seeing me.
I just came here because Reddit torpedoed third-party apps.
Believe it or not, there are more factors than political views..
