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.

Um… Bezos owns AWS, Zuck has nothing on him as far as ‘owning the internet’.
Bezos does indeed own the Post through a holding company.
I wasn’t saying he didn’t. Just that Meta doesn’t hold a candle to AWS as far as control over the internet.
Ah! Yeah, most people think Amazon the store. They have no clue as to what AWS is up to, probably don't know it's a thing.
If you're not a major player with major scaling needs, can't see why people stick with AWS. Our spend at my last job was $6 million a year, with an M. Fuck me. Give me $1 million and I could replicate our infra and be just as reliable. And much of that would be a 1-time cost.
Tiny example; I'm paying $15mo. for a LightSail instance to run my PiHole. Why?! Been too lazy to grab a Raspberry Pi out of my box and fire it up. $180 bucks a year and I already have the hardware to run it reliably and locally.
uses AWS instead of a raspberry pi
I think you see exactly why people use AWS.
Signed up to learn because my company was heavily invested in AWS and I had buckets of money. That's why.
