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.

Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.

Meanwhile PoliticalCompassMemes and the 4chan subreddit stays up

To be fair, there's about a fifty-fifty chance that a subreddit, or lemmy community for that matter, called "supressed news" is going to be filled loonies, and those guys could spend all day masturbating to the though of violently dismantling the power of the World Economic Forum.

dismantling the power of the World Economic Forum.

that's drumpf's job

Ironic - Palpatine

Welcome refugees, the waters warm and we've got the kettle on for a cuppa

[–] CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

Finally deleted my account there just now. Place is so far removed from the principles it was founded on. Guess I'll be here a lot more... but hopefully spending less time doom scrolling in general.

[–] SidTheShuckle@lemmy.world 79 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Dont mind me just slowly transitioning over to Lemmy

[–] betternotbigger@lemmy.world 40 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (4 children)

I regressed back to Reddit for a bit. I'm back for good after I found out they're also suppressing anti consumption movements.

Reddit can keep all the NPCs.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I hope lemmy becomes large enough to support niche communities, but never coddles nazis like reddit does.

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I fear that the Nazis will come first, but am hopeful they keep to their corner.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

So far, most instances are hostile to nazis because they saw what reddit became. I hope that persists. nazis should not be welcome here like they are on reddit.

Im here bc the app I used finally broke after the api changes years ago.

I like it but I do not understand the whole instance thing

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 hours ago

It’s just like email. It mostly doesnt matter what instance you choose as you can talk with almost any other instance. There are a couple instances that have been defederated from most other instances, but they are few and far between. Anyway, it’s exactly like email.

Lemmy is what reddit used to be.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 97 points 12 hours ago (17 children)

After 12 years and over 900K Karma, I got permanently banned for repeating an opinion that I've posted many times over the past decade. Then Trump gets elected, and the exact same opinion gets me a permaban.

Now I'm hearing that they are banning people for UPVOTES! I wondered why Reddit had decided to throw in with the Nazis, and I this week I see in the news that Ohanion wants to buy TikTok. The new owner of TikTok will be personally chosen by HitlerPig, so Zuckerfuck has been kissing up, and now Ohanion wants in on it. HitlerPig will award it to whomever kisses his ass and pays him the most.

[–] bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 hours ago

What was the opinion that got you banned?

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 34 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

14 year old account for me. Mod of a million plus sub. 700k karma. Built fucking subreddits into real communities. Banned over a joke I made for a decade. Reddit is dying and we now have a new federated home.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 hours ago

Which community? I'll spend my unbanned account posting that you're over here on Lemmy.

Welcome aboard, the place is comfy and only really needs user numbers at this point.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 43 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Reddit doesn't want users participating in the site. They want eyes looking at ads and that's it. Look, don't touch. We've got bots for touching.

Lurkers are more lucrative than posters.

I'm here because I replied to "let's not give them an inch" with "let's give them 9mm" and was permanently banned from politics, no recourse. That's the most left leaning sub on the website.

When they took API access away I was pissed but I stayed. But taking away my free speech, seriously? They can go fuck themselves.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 9 hours ago

that sub was, but it was taken over by a right winger that allowed astroturfing against the "left"

That’s the problem with these corporations — the foundation is rotten, and they have no principles beyond more money. It has been this way for some time.

Now, we have an economy where the arbitrary whims of billionaires and our king is the main determinant of their share price. This is how Reddit kisses the boot.

They would exhume my grandmother if it increased share price by one tenth of one percent.

I got myself permabanned for saying even sharks don’t like Russians on a story about a shark attack. On that website since 2008, guess it was a good push in the right direction, it’s been getting shittier.

They have really unleashed the hounds recently it seems. I wonder how long before they start banning NSFW content.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 hours ago

That brings traffic

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

They floated the idea of charging for access to certain subs a while back. They're gonna paywall the porn.

[–] pixelpure@lemm.ee 7 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I’m glad Lemmy is here as an alternative to Reddit censorship. It really is rich versus poor in the U.S. instead of the right versus left that media propaganda tells us.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 38 points 12 hours ago (13 children)

Reddit currently has a beastiality sub. They don’t allow real images obviously but people post hentai and fish for more. In the comments, they give each other advice/describe their activities.

Reddit doesn’t care.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I read this wrong and was confused as to why they allow pictures of people abusing fish.

Getting banned by reddit for posting rather innocuous comment is probably a good thing. Its UI is garbage anyway.

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 7 points 9 hours ago

For anyone that still has a reddit account, if you have any good community subreddits, tell them to relocate to Lemmy :)

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 30 points 12 hours ago (8 children)
[–] UrMomsSweetAss@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 12 hours ago (10 children)

Lets hope. Found Lemmy only just today and super glad I have.

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that the RDDT stock price has dropped 40% in the last month, and it's not surprising. That site is a sinking ship.

Permanently banned last week. Mods didn't care for my thoughts on Luigi and Trump/Musk (they're joined at the hip AFAIC, except Trump is definately the bottom, despite his diaper issues), and the madness of MAGA. Reddit is firmly in the facist camp, just like Timmy Cook, i.e. they will follow the money and the power; their capitalist instincts are pure. Fuck them all.
