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.

It's a "surprise" in the sense that Lemmy wanted to do it different and better. It did in some ways, but failed in many others.
No, you got that wrong. I never advocated against LGBT+, I'm a "live and let live" kinda guy. I am a straight white male though, so not part of any demographic in need of safe spaces, so it is not exactly easy to put myself into the shoes of people who need protection. Not saying I don't emphasize, merely that I'm not part of it. I'm also politically liberal and think most left values are noble thoughts, but lack practical availability.
This is not my main account.
Well, the problem here is that worldnews is one of my key area of interests, and that community is about 8x as big as the next larger one on lemmy.world, which is not nearly as active. Which highlights my issue above with the lacking diversity.
Fair, I get the point. Didn't mean to insult, just had observed quite a bit of trolling. Also had no idea what blahaj is really about, not an instance I interact with frequently.
Sure happened in the mainstream subs, I just stayed the heck away from there. Here I have to engage with mainstream communities since all the small niche ones except for anything linux and star trek are very much dead; so as a result I see more trolling and shit-talking here than I was used to on my curated reddit frontpage.
Fully agree, Spez was a dick. However on Lemmy you are dealing not with one isolated dick in the kingdom, but rather with a bunch of dicks over a multitude of serfdoms across the realm. Neither one feels great.
Guy. You really need to compare yourself in the mirror with what that other guy already said. It's like you can't see yourself at all.
