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
11 years. I commented a lot and had a decent trickle of reasonably successful posts over that time.
I got banned just before all this happened because I made an anti-tankie post in an unrelated sub, then gamingcirclejerk auto-banned me with the message "beep boop gamer detected!", whereupon I replied, "What the fuck? Do you have literally any explanation for this?" and then I was banned for "harrassment".
Just basically a sitewide policy being abused by authoritarian assholes. They abuse their mod powers to harrass users they don't like to provoke a reaction, and the second you say a naughty word they go running to the admins to kick you off the site completely.
I then didn't make another account until I needed to to ask for support on one of the niche communities. I noticed in that time that my mental health improved enormously. This place is a lot nicer and I hope it can catch enough refugees to get critical mass and displace reddit. I'm sure it'll change as it grows but I'm really excited to see how different the culture will be as that happens.
Wait, you were banned on the whole site?! That's stupid! You can't even express shock as to how you got banned properly?
