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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reddit full bore banned me for saying "I should have a legal right to punch nazis" and declined my appeal.
Reddit is unironically nazi aligned and that's not a joke it's terrifying.
I haven't been full banned yet but have grown tired of the amazing levels of stupidity. I caught a temp ban for incivility for writing "Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment."
Not very civil of you dear...
Tbh you can catch bans for that here but beauty of fediverse is that power tripping mods have limited ability to ban you fedi wide so freedom enjoyer's just go do their discourse on other sub's and servers
To be fair, that's kinda deserved. You could experience the same here.
There are plenty of other reasons to hate on Reddit, but acting in a fairly civil manner should be expected.
Glad to have you here though! 😊
Banning people who aren't "safe spacey enough" is fucking stupid.
People can be abrasive. People can be mean. People will absolutely take your shit if you let them.
Hiding from them in a bubble doesn't make them disappear (and shockingly sometimes they have points to make).
Hmm..
So your argument is that we potentially lose valuable insight?
I agree in principle, but it is hard to balance.
Because without a certain amount of civility we potentially lose the voice of minorities and oppressed groups of people.
In a free democratic country you of course should be legally allowed to be abrasive and say mean hurtful things.
How would you balance/solve this dilemma on a social network? The same way as the law?
I am a bit torn here
I find that answer amazing and I will adopt it from now on to all the orange guy followers, cheers
Go forth with my blessings.
