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.
Now if you have an alt and you accidentally comment there without knowing you got banned on another account, you get instantly permabanned across all accounts, like they know you're banned so they'll ban you for upvoting/downvoting content from that sub or posting a comment, yet will still show you that subs content with no warning.
That's not a legit reason to ban someone.
I created a new account to post in my regional swinger subreddit and it immediately got deleted by a power hungry mod. He said my post was low effort at the same time as there was a literal dick pic with the text "hit me up" on the subreddit's front page. I tried to post again with a little more detail but my post never showed up so I messaged the mods directly. They responded a few days later that they had approved my post. Thanks for nothing reddit and reddit mods.
This is just an extension of the political ban waves that became huge in 2020 / 2021.
Equally ridiculous as the holy war some idiots are leading against the TanKieZ
