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.

To be honest I didn't really care about the API thing because I used the web interface anyway. But the fact that they had this outrage from users and their answer was "LOL who cares" made me leave.
I'm very similar. I actually just used the official app, but just seeing the way they responded made me leave
The fact that spez just bald-faced lied about what was said in his call with the Apollo dev was a huge red flag for me.
Bold faced*
Doesn't matter*

Huh, TIL. Never sat right with me as a bearded man, perfectly capable of lying, but makes sense that its meant to convey "without a face cover."
even this tiny civil exchange already makes me happy for jumping the boat. (also was always kinda sad for missing out on the early years of reddit; lemmy have no mo fomo)
TIL too! My mother always said bald-faced lie to me as a teenager and so when you corrected it to bold-faced I was like .. no that can't be right. Lol
Bare-arsed*
Bare assed lie... I like it.
Bone apple tea*
No. It's bald-faced.
I just got tired of being on a site that won't just ban you for saying Nazis should be punched, they'll ban you for calling them mean names.
nazi shouldn't be punch?
I don't think that punch made from nazis would taste very good.
I got banned for saying if I saw someone stealing from a store, I'd follow them to their car and cut the valve stems off their tires. Cuz, ya know - vandalizing someone's car is illegal.
Yo what was the context? Was it a store dedicated to feeding orphans? why would you care?
I care because every theft means I pay more the next time I shop. When someone steals from a store I patronize, they're stealing from me. I was commenting on a post about stealing from Home Depot.
Somewhere out there in meatspace just after you hit reply, a capitalist just came in his pants.
I got banned from Jnomil about a post on some little shit kid who like to creep under bathroom stalls and kink on people taking a shit.
I suggested a little shot of piss would be corrective. Banned.
But it's okay for some little shit to invade people's bathroom privacy.
In the light of Twitter shitshow and how one person can ruin a platform it makes sense to look into more decentralized services.
