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

Lemmy is getting there trust me. Go to the politics theme subs and disagree. Even if you stay on their side but disagree on a point, you’ll get a bunch of threats and hate and then a ban without explanation. Many of the people bullied by mods came to Lemmy to become mods and are now the bullies
A quote from Paulo Freire, in the pedagogy of the oppressed
So do you think he's right? Almost always... Their model of humanity/to be men is to oppress?
That part I read as an exaggeration as a figure of speech. The most interesting part to me is about people becoming the oppressors themselves due to this being their only learned model of human interaction.
I see. Must be some good lit out there on how that cycle gets interrupted.
I would create an alternative political sub for open-minded people who are okay with disagreements, but I fear it will be flooded with right-wing extremists quickly. :S
That's where decentralization comes in.
You're in lemmy.world. That's the most mainstream, libtarted instance. That is just mainstream reddit expats
I don't use my Lemmy.world accounts anymore, because they generally suck. Just like the ml instances are full of tankies, your instance is full of mainstream idiots
Get weird. Migrate to a better instance, you'll have a better experience. I can recommend several to you if you tell me about your personal beliefs, but no matter what they tell you... Your home server does matter, a lot. And you're in the instance equivalent to modern day Democrats
