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 have been banned pre-emptively from subreddits for making comments in other subreddits. The the sad part was my involvement in those toxic community's was to get them to see the other side in a reasonable way. If anyone had actually read the comment there would not have been a ban. I even appealed the ban and they told me I shouldn't even be there and it doesn't matter. Talk about being close minded and toxic!
(It was left wing subreddits banning me for arguing with right wingers in their own spaces, but I did in a soft way that didn't get me outright banned - it showed me that the left wing extreme groups are just as bad as the right - extremism needs to end full stop)
The fact that behavior was allowed on reddit should have been a red flag a long time ago.
Got banned from r/offmychest for "participating" in incel subs.
The thing is I was trolling in those subs. I should have been banned from them, not r/offmychest.
I got banned from there too because I used to go on /r/4chan back in 2011. I was an edgy teenager back then.
They apparently fetched every comment that had ever been made to that subreddit and banned everyone. It happened in like 2015-2016, long after I stopped going on any subreddit like that.
It's something of a reddit truism that nearly all the subs that ban you for posting elsewhere are either lefty subs or subs that are run by mods who also mod lefty subs.
Most right wing, incel, etc, etc anyone else you're likely to challenge subs actually require you to break their rules, and most of the time unless you're outright obnoxious about it will let downvotes and debate do the work. Except for r/conservative, who is fiercely defensive of their bubble.
The mods on justiceserved will ban anyone that posts/comments in a conservative subreddit despite the content of the comment.
Yeah, I got banned for posting in a Joe Rogan subreddit, and as OP was saying, I was calling out toxic viewpoints with a dissertation on how machio and toxic behavior can be destructive to friends and family. I was insta banned from the justiceserved within minutes. I laughed, shrugged and moved on
I had similar experiences, and couldn't understand why they would discourage dialog and discussion around various issues. The thing is, they don't actually want dialog, they want to stamp out opposition to their views as though it never existed.
