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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
As if the average reddit user would fall for this, Twitter is awful.
They can't handle Twitter and they want to reboot reddit?
And on the same day when they fucked up their infrastructure so badly that they had to rate-limit all users. Yeah, okay Elon, you can host my community for me.
If you go for this your dumber than the average bear. Lest we forget, Twitter pioneered screwing over third party devs, twice! Once back in 2012 and then more recently
I guess if you were looking for a platform that is run by a large man child, is somehow on shakier ground than Reddit, and will suck then this is good news?
Participating in an Elon ran version of Reddit sounds just as fun as being launched into the sun would be

You think he's that stupid? He'd launch his rocket at night, of course!
Absolutely. Beyond shit management, I've never seen someone so desperately in love with meme culture who absolutely does not understand humor on any level.
I think u have Elon all wrong my man he's a comedy genius modern version of Laurel and Hardy
We should test how fun it would be to be launched in the sun, with Elon serving as the test subject.
Come on, give the sun more credit, atleast it'll be beautiful to look at for a while!
Twitter communities have been around a good while. As in, I even wrote a search app that found new communities as people created them, and people used my app (and other apps) for about a year or so, and then eventually Twitter added that functionality themselves, so I deprecated my app, and then about year or so later, Elon bought Twitter and communities died from lack of use/ support.
In other words, this was around for a while before Elon.
I'm part of the F-Zero Twitter community and the most action it gets is from bots that somehow break into the invite only community. (Thanks Elon)
It's a cool idea but suffers from the same kind of insulation of discord, which end up running counter to the openness twitter got popular for.
Look at that, spez's idol being opportunistic against him. Dumbass.
I'm also enjoying that morsel of Schadenfreude.
I love how all mainstream platforms keep mimicking each other to become exact copies of one another. I wonder if there was a way for platforms to collaborate with each other and interconnect somehow rather than duplicating efforts by copying all features from all other platforms? 🤔
But if we don’t create a walled garden then how can we lock in users and maximize our profits???
Some sort of protocol to publish activity?
We’ll call it Humongo DBHTML (short for Data Based Hypertext-based Terminator Machine Language), and it can allow Planet Net to plan its planet plans for fixing all the utopia bugs.
Why not call it PlaNet
It warms my heart that Twitter spent millions developing a product that will never take off ❤️
Wouldn't be Elon's first time.
I mean I guess they technically take off, there's just the aftermath ...
Im getting google+ vibes
Fuck it. Bring google+ back!
Google+ could have been amazing. It did so much right compared to the others.
No activity whatsoever on it though
The free market fosters innovation.
The invitation:
I always point to TikTok/IG Stories/Facebook Stories/Snapchat Stories/Twitter Fleets as my favorite example of the glorious innovation of capitalism
Joke’s on them. I left Twitter months ago.
Jokes on them, I never had a Twitter.
Me either, but it's mostly because I never really figured out how to follow the thread of a discussion on there.
It always felt like any reply tweet would just disconnect from the OP and go off on an unrelated tangent and the initial discussion was lost.
Shitty platform IMO. Not sure how it ever got so big.
Imagine getting schooled on his to run your social media compant by Elon Musk...
Lol no thanks.
I'm pretty sure this had launched a bit earlier, but yeah, pretty convenient timing.
I didn’t notice till today, might’ve been a rollout
Communities have been part of Twitter for some time, but they haven't pushed it much
I haven’t seen it in my bottom bar till now, I just noticed it looked like there were more icons than before and saw this
Yes I believe they were rolling it out gradually
