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.

I was permanently banned for talking bad about the current sh*tshow of an administration we have here in the US
I got banned during the first trump shit show for saying "fuck trump and Obama" for "inciting violence"
That's not fair! It's clearly a dumpster fire.
I would prefer the dumpster fire over what's going on lately.
That's weird, I haven't used reddit for many years now, but it used to be clearly liberal/left leaning.
The CEO wants to monetize it more, sell more ads, sell your data, etc. So I'm sure that is part of the removal reasons
What does he have to sell, from what I can tell even in non political subs a lot of users I've known who posted have been permanently banned. From sports gaming and cooking subs.
It seems like reddit is just bots anymore. Actual traffic can't be what it is like it's heydey
It has definitely changed from what it was. They have been making deals to sell all the user reply threads to places like google for AI training. Maybe the bans are about "cleaning" their data model
That does not ring true, because controversy feeds engagement, and engagement increases overall activity and makes it possible to sell more ads.
So by that standard reddit should embrace the controversy as long as it's legal.
Not if you ad sponsors are right leaning
Yes, controversy feeds engagement, but advertisers don’t want to appear in the vicinity of certain content, too. So it’s a balancing act.
"Used to" is the important thing.
So is reddit right leaning now? That really weird to me, because they were a clear minority 8-10 years ago.
Although there were a few Trump subs, they were wildly unpopular and made fun of.
Reddit is billionaire leaning now.
Ah well, good thing I left.
The regime don't appreciate you, shit lord
