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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
I originally joined in 06 and kept the same account until ‘10. I came back a few years later but it was on and off after that. I didn’t purge my 1st account when I deactivated it but every account afterwards I deleted all posts and comments after 24 hours regardless.
To answer your question, no, because I deactivated an empty account the same day the go dark announcements started and have not been back. I had seen it before, and between mod behavior over the years, ownership changes and lack of G.A.F.F from admin I have no desire to return. Quite frankly the cycle repeats itself with reddit and it became more tedious every time.
I was an early Digg user as well but after the crap they started I quit there too. Frankly I had forgotten Digg existed until some of the Reddit coverage mentioned it. I’m pretty sure I will only be reminded Reddit is still a thing each time reddit pulls another user unfriendly stunt and the news cycle starts again.
When I came back this last time, I used old. with ublock origin and other filters because Advance Publications lost white list privileges long ago.
I’ve dipped into a few of these other lesser known/new sites to see what comes of it. So far my preferences are Lemmy and Mastodon, although I’ve been lurking Mastodon here and there even before the twitter crap.
