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.

It's almost like the person who wrote that text in the photo didn't actually understand what any of the words they were saying meant. Like actually. lol

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago (4 children)

People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

[–] Casteyes@lemmy.world 1 points 26 seconds ago

I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.

[–] PeripheralGhost@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

Left reddit... left Google... left Amazon... left meta... never had Twitter.

[–] elrod666@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 5 points 2 hours ago

Indeed. I deleted my reddit account recently. I like it better here anyways. The pace is slower and the people seem more reasonable here too. My stress levels have decreased significantly since I left Meta and Reddit and that is at once wonderful and scary. Social media is a cancer.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The world needs to forcefully liquidate the wealth of all billionaires and perpetually redistribe that excess wealth so nobody can ever be rich again.

The rich that push back need to be labled as dangerous terrorists that are a threat to our species, and will need to be put down like rabid dogs.

[–] wakko@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

"The world" is a convenient way to say "somebody else with a gun".

This kind of thing is never done peacefully. So, if you're going to advocate for violence, at least be honest about the fact that you're looking for someone else to perpetrate violence on your behalf because you're too much of a coward to do it yourself.

They've also been banning accounts for liking comments about Green Mario doing nothing wrong. It's about the closest thing to thought crime I've ever seen. (PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)

[–] Legume5534@lemm.ee 0 points 9 minutes ago (1 children)

(PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)

He killed a guy. So he did.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

He killed a corpo. So he did nothing wrong.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

He absolutely did something wrong, he got caught.

And I felt his manifesto was not very well written.

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 23 points 6 hours ago (5 children)

I don't mean this as an attack at all, but isn't calling Luigi "Green Mario" a way to comply with the wired reddit cencorship?

We are on Lemmy, you can speak freely here.

Or did something just go over my head?

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Also innocent until proven guilty, a lot of people seem to forget that one.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's actually pretty likely he's not the guy. While they have a picture of him from a nearby hostel, the picture from cctv at the scene doesn't match quite so well.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

Im agree, but my gripes stem from the timing of how and when they picked him up. Rolling a nat 1 on disquise in a golden arches hundreds of miles away with all the evidence makes me think one of two things. 1) he isnt the guy, the NYPD needed their pound of flesh and just made it all up or 2) they are sure its him, but are unwilling to explain to the press how they know because big brother shit.

In addition, with the mayor not shutting up about the investigation, that perp walk, and the media shrieking "oh no, he's hot", the is no way he is getting an unbiased jury in NYC. (I expect it to be the opposite, but thats the ACAB talking)

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I made a comment self censored to "Mario bros" on reddit. Got a permanent ban. They're going scorched earth on anything moderately inflammatory

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago
[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Whether or not they were being ironic, we HAVE to stop capitulating to corporations deciding how we speak and what we can and can't talk about. They successfully turned our own social messaging into a justification to block out conversations about issues that are actually affecting us.

(No, to the chud about to cry about being censored for spreading misinformation about vaccines, that doesn't go against corporate incentives, that goes against reason and knowledge, there's a difference and if you can't tell, you will when you get older.)

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 4 points 4 hours ago

Or, if I might add, in case of anti-vaxxers, IF you get older ;-)

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 6 points 5 hours ago

Maybe people were actually saying "Green Mario" and not Luigi.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago

Agreed, you can refer to him by name here lol. Or Saint Luigi if you prefer ;)

[–] Captain_J@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

This guy has so much power over the United States and so many people are okay with it and some even support it.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Violence is a double edged sword. It can easily swing the other way. Elon might be misjudging how that sword is balanced.

So why isn't Elon Musk banned then?

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 6 points 5 hours ago

Rules for thee not for me.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 3 points 4 hours ago

Because it is a post to an entirely different social media site.

[–] ItsJannnneee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 hours ago

Ban Elon Musk then??? Sick of reading abt Reddit bending over backwards to defend him & Trump

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 16 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The faster everyone deletes their Reddit, the better we will be. Fuck Reddit.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I only have one account for porn right now. Made with a temporary email. I won't shed any tears if i had to delete that one.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

There’s plenty here lol. No excuse! lol, jk

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

The banhammer is quite randomly pounded over there.

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 12 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

“I’m peaceful because I am capable of kicking your ass” has true mall ninja energy.

“you studied humanity [and made friends] while I studied the blade”

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 9 points 5 hours ago

I remember reading self-defense writings by Marc MacYoung (who is a fascist mind you, but he is very good at martial arts and understanding criminal dynamics) and the first ever time I heard the 'better a monster who can control it, than a sheep who is not capable of violence' or that effect, and he ripped that entire saying a new one. He said how once the violent beast in someone is built up, it simply won't be easy to control and will fuck you up. There is simply no way around it. Criminals, abusers, and assholes whom people want nothing to do with and people who spend countless nights in jail for petty shit are all the actual 'warriors in a garden' come to life.

Also the whole thing is shit. During ww1 and ww2 the US had a pathetic military at the start, but when the war got going they still outfought the Nazis and Imperial Japanese who were fully and completely into the whole permanent warrior mentality.

[–] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 10 points 6 hours ago

I was banned for harassment. I followed 6 accounts that posted tons of misinformation about elons nazi salute.

They’d defend him at all cost, call everyone else sheep, “Roman salute”, he’s autistic, you’re such a n idiot for hating on him. Posted still frame images of anyone with raised hands and claimed them to be identical to nazi boy Elon.

I got a notification every time they posted something to a sub I frequented. I would comment their recent post history and how their most extreme lies in defense of Elon.

Reddit said that was considered harassment. Not what those accounts did, but my action to their posts and comments. Spez is such a fucking spineless cunt.

[–] enphurgen@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Got my ban yesterday for expressing my displeasure with Danielle Smith. Reddit has sold out

[–] roguesignal@lemm.ee 16 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

My 15 year old account got banned last week, too. On one hand it kinda sucks, but on the other hand it feels good to get out of that site's echo chamber. Reddit is really circling the drain.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

I had my 13 year old account also busted up due to that last summer.

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 13 points 6 hours ago

Here’s my new thing.

All the people with critical thinking skills are leaving in droves. Leaving a massive bot farm authoritarian echo chamber in its wake.

As far as they’re concerned we’re the problem and it solved itself.

[–] Haess@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 4 hours ago

Smith is such a fucking joke.. I grew up in Southern Alberta, I'll never ever return.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

The irony here is that violence is a necessary action when the bourgeoisie (Billionaires) leaves the working class no other option. But what he's saying is that state violence is justified to maintain the status quo.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Is it just me or are other people giving fewer and fewer fucks about why somebody got banned on reddit, or anything else that happens on reddit?

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 2 points 4 hours ago

I'm loathe to defend Reddit's moderation decision but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

Elon's gonna get shot one day

[–] Skymt@feddit.nu 5 points 7 hours ago

The peace in peaceful is not of the "peace and war" kind. It's of the "peace and quiet" kind.

Important distinction.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

The only reason I still have a Reddit account is to leave comments telling people to leave Reddit and join Lemmy. I just find posts on or near the front page that are complaining about Reddit and leave the same comment every time.
