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:
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.
I have been using Reddit for the last couple of years. It feels like it got worse ever since u/spez banned 3rd party clients which requires me to use revanced reddit now. Now the latest saga involves subreddits now banning you for participating in other subreddit they think are bad. This is just pure censorship at this point. And you want to know the best part Reddit has done NOTHING to stop this issue.
I used to be big contributor on reddit and it's has been completely taken over by power users who are just shilling. Many subreddit mods are actually in bed with businesses and take straight up bribes or have their own conflicting interests.
they have straight up affiliates they reccomend openly over anyone else like in hosting subs with "deals" for redditors
reddit and large subs have all upped thier filters, so its actually harder to comment in subs that have high traffic. the niche subs are probably safe subs(the rule is if the sub has a sets of rule like the sidebar on lemmy, then you know its monitored heavily.
Yup if you take a look at new posts on any big sub reddit its either bots karma farming or influencers shilling. It's just too hard for new people to onboard on sharing as:
So aside from smaller subreddits it's just trolls and bots talking between each other.
I suspect a lot of mods are actually employed by those companies directly.
