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
This happened to me for posting "Italian Plumbers Unite!" I got a PERMANENT BAN! I appealed and they denied it.
What are they afraid of?
Advertisers, stock prices, inverstors and other stuff like that. As in "losing money".
Doesnβt matter the mod nazis band me for ever and ever. Fuck that place.
Quite literally signed up for lemmy just now cause of this. So many of the sites that helped make the internet boring are committing self harm, twitter, fb, and now reddit - the old "decentralization" arguments were kind of boring to me but now I ache for the old internet and gosh darn it if the billionaires are making the best case against themselves.

Still got my Reddit acct but yeah. I set up a Lemmy acct when I saw this. For insurance when the rest of Reddit fully enshitifies.
When you're ready to burn down your reddit account, use a tool to update all your comments and posts to refer to Luigi
Yep this is why I'm here π€
LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI
So I had an account under a similar name to this one, but it got perma-banned a few months back. Not even Luigi related. Remember when that Nazi incel Nick Fuentes got doxxed? I made a comment that basically said "he should be happy now that women know where he lives so they can come share a cocktail with him", with a gif of a Molotov cocktail. I thought it was pretty funny. Banned for glorifying/promoting violence. Against a Nazi.
More recently, my other account got perma-banned from r/insanepeoplefacebook for "hate speech" because of this comment:
So yeah. Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Free Luigi.
Ban basically proving your point too. Somebody in the cult didn't like what you said

I went straight to a perma commenting on what was going to happen with those inmates being moved despite the judge blocking it. It's not a huge loss since that is the second account perma'd in the last 30 days. And I've been using revanced Reddit so no ads. But they've become pretty insane about what is "hate, or violence"
it's about the panopticon; getting you to do the censorship. building a better cop in your head.
letting libs like reddit admins read foucault was like letting silicon valley billionaires read 'snow crash'.
The enshittification of Reddit started when they hid new features behind API in order to push their shitty official app. Every next move just made the slippery slope steeper.
