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:

**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.

That’s fine, my bans are permanent too… ~~Slashdot~~,~~Fark~~, ~~Digg~~, ~~Reddit~~, Lemmy…
What did Slashdot do?
I’m not entirely certain to be honest. It was 25 years ago now. Whatever it was, I never went back lol
Edit: looking back since it made me curious, likely something to do with them going public back then.
Edit 2: I’m certain that’s what it was, because I remembered Fark was just Drew. That was very appealing during the dot com implosion. So, I moved from the new evil corp to the open source equivalent lol
I get that.
Was curious as I still read slashdot and find they’re one of the last sites left with comments.
oh yeah, i was still actually reading them too. until recently when they stopped working with ad blocking. when i’m done with a site, i might still visit. but, i remove my accounts and no longer interact. they still have some good conversation and links on occasion.
My adblocker (uBlock Origin) still blocks their ads.
But I get that as a reason for leaving.
Oh, my adblocker still blocked their ads. They just started throwing an error a few months ago (i think) that wouldn’t let me continue on the page unless i disabled it. I checked on occasion for a few weeks and it continued. It does look like it might work again, but they have finally lost themselves from my daily workflow lol
Sounds like a great sub to have over here.
