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
Out of all the people I know irl who are aware of Lemmy, 50% have tried it, and of those, all but one was put off by the tankie mind rot and inconsistent moderation.
The "fuck capitalism" at every turn is pretty frustrating at times even as an active user.
And in reality, fuck capitalism. But we don't need it in every thread. It's exhausting. And the tankies brand is way more "fuck the US" than "fuck capitalism." They are just violent, often weirdly bigoted, and poorly informed.
And I mean yes, but it's a nuanced conversation. Capitalism is off the rails and a lot of people are being hurt by that, but getting things back on the rails isn't as simple as "just don't do capitalism" or "do socialism."
It definitely doesn't need to be in every thread like you said, because trying to have those repeated nuanced conversations is just exhausting.
But it's true though. It's the source of every modern ails. From increased housing to global warmin
