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
I hate what Reddit is doing, but I also hate your casual homophobia. Aren't you sure, you would be a better fit for Reddit than the fediverse?
Did they edit their post and lemmy glitch out? The comment is 4m old, but your reply is 6m. There's no marking that it's been edited either, so something's wrong.
I am posting from kbin, it shows me that their post is 25 minutes to my 10 minutes ago.
Weird. I'm using Jerbao from lemmy.world.
I just stumbled across this, but I made a comment last night and when I went to check the backlash this afternoon it was gone. I was pretty disappointed.
My comment is nowhere to be found now
I know multiple queer people who use "faggot" in a way that lets them take ownership of the word rather than allow it to be a slur. But importantly, there's context to them saying it that makes it clear it's not a slur. It'll be among friends who know them well enough, or on dating profiles/kink websites where it's abundantly clear from how they use it and everything else they've written that it's them reclaiming the word.
Your comment doesn't have that context. You're an anonymous stranger in a thread filled with anonymous strangers, and there's nothing about your comment that implies you're not using the word as a slur. In fact, the way you used it was as a pejorative. It comes off as offensive and inappropriate.
Uh. Let's not use the f slur shall we?
