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
And we're doing exactly what they want us to do, giving them attention and clicks.
I'm so tired of seeing this take. And this is from someone who hasn't opened a reddit link since July 1st.
Yeah, I agree that we shouldn't give them traffic. But do you think that the people like us are the ones driving that sentiment of "never forget what they stole"? Believe it or not, there exists a base of users who still browse reddit and want to see change. Those are users driving their engagement regardless of what they do. So why not spend that time protesting or sending a message?
It's such an oversimplification, it's insane. "YoUrE sTiLl uSiNg ReDdIT"
I wonder if people with that same sentiment go to picketing protestors and yell at them, "Just quit!!"
As if the idea of trying to promote change rather than immediately giving up and moving on is anathema to them.
It's exactly the same energy. Nothing says "this isn't my problem so let me tell you how to solve it" like saying "so just quit!"
Also, id get that take if this were like, a general news community, but this is literally the reddit news community. Reddit news is why we're all subbed here right? We all have nostalgia for what reddit once fostered and I think most of us still have a glimmer of hope that it might be a decent place again
