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.

Bad take. You wouldn't say the n-word if you were white too. It's the same thing. Or using a term for someone's sexuality as a swear word.
I'm a nurse in my mid-40s. We absolutely DO NOT use the term "retarded" in the medical field anymore. We use the term developmentally delayed. "Retarded" is considered a slur
The problem is using that word as a slur and grouping very kind people that just happen to be born with an illness with that kind of idiot.
The term itself isn't offensive - misusing it is
Preach
Oh.
The day they force me off old.reddit, is the day I stop occasionally lurking around on my second monitor. As of now, I'm active here, consciously here, and occasionally grabbing news from communities that have not migrated on PC.
Imagine making your UI worse with every iteration.
You're welcome, @Puppy@kbin.social
