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.

MODERATORS
That's why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.
I recommend u guys try Lemmy. I feel like Reddit is reaching its EOL
reddit reached enshitification several years ago.
2017 was more than several years ago
Please let them implode.
I want Lemmy to have niche content. I'm tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.
yeah i always like the beginning of a new platform in the first few years where everyone is just having fun before the hoards come and commercialization happens.

Man isn't even convicted yet and his name is taboo.
The rich are scared. Good. They should be.
That’s exactly what we need to take from this. Not that money is in control and that’s why they’re cracking down, but that they’re cracking down because they’re scared.
They can be scared, but unless ten, fifty, or one hundred green Mario brothers appear nothing will change.
Reddit is more okay with people where we have indisputable video of them killing someone else in cold blood than someone who police just say trust us bro he did it.
Amazing how the admins react to things

Darn. I guess this means me making a Reddit account to confess that Luigi was my first videogame character crush ever is out of the question.
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, reading content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, thinking about breaking the law is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, protesting human rights violations is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, being an unapproved minority is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, not drinking enough verification cans is also considered a violation."
They're scared. Spez knows his neck is on the line in a more literal fashion than ever.
While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, not buying a Tesla is also considered a violation.
Ahhhhhhhhh now I see what the enforcement angle is on orangeboi declaring that an “illegal boycott” (a term that makes roughly as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”)
(a term that makes roughly as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”)
What other kind of sheets would you get for a racecar bed?

Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can't even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?
most tech should be considered state media at this point. during covid i said something about omicron being more transmissible than the original variant even in vaccinated people (true statement) - perma banned with no warning. now if you don't immediately condemn "hate" towards nazis you are also banned/warned lol
Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can’t even reply to?
Not even really cowardice when you consider how bare bones their staff is. Even if they gave a shit about users, real monetization costs money and Reddit hates spending.
hey so i started looking at a new place because I'm tired of reddit and the people on it.... My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn't even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy's back is turned on your icon you're in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren't showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don't know if this is related to luigi but it's some weird nonsense.
so would this work if I made a comment then edited it?
I'm thinking it would be fucking hilarious to go on conservative and get them to upvote it only to edit it to say something like, "Luigi is a hero!", then they just start banning all the bots and conservatives.
If you wanna do it fast, just speak ill of fascists. Worked for me.
I said 53 days closer to his obituary. I'm not sure how that's anything but an actual truth? But whatever. Fuck those knee benders.

Whatever their goal is, one result is apparent: less voicing of opposite views to the status quo on their website.

Hahahahahahahhahahaha this is wild. It’s so blatant. It’s just so unrepentantly, obviously, nakedly blatant. Jesus fuck.
Like im glad you guys are all getting out and finding us and other similar communities, but like… the societal and systemic implications of them going so hard on this on reddit makes me shudder to consider how insane moderation must be getting on normie social networks, which have been traditionally WILDLY awful on that point even before we decided to break fascist. This is them actively and aggressively suppressing free speech. Mahmoud Khalil was/is another instance of that. This is us not keeping the republic.

Don't get permabanned! Sell your precious account first ;) it will be used to spam on Reddit and you'll get some money, it's a win-win situation!
Yes, please tell us where we need to not go to avoid accidentally selling our reddit accounts
Who that fuck buys reddit accounts? And where to sell them? ( I certainly would not do that ...)

So they are dictating the things we can like now? Lol what a shit site that has become. Such a shame. I love it here though so I guess it all worked out
That’s how and why I joined over here. They implemented the upvote = ban policy. I got a warning. I have no idea what for because I pretty much upvote everything I read. I am pretty loose and will even upvote entire argument threads if I think the argument is worthwhile to read.
As soon as I was warned for upvoting the wrong thing, but not told which of my thousands of upvotes were wrong, I deleted Reddit.
Anyway, it’s nice here on Lemmy.

ATTENTION CITIZEN:
YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
OFFENSE: Inciting subversion of state power
PRESENT YOURSELF TO YOUR NEAREST FBI OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.
Talk about the thought police! I saw it coming for awhile, but past me from a decade ago is shocked that Reddit has come to this.
Took less than 1 for me, but it was only a 10 year old account
I overwrote all my comments with the following today :
Leopard Urinating In Geocached Inventory
I'm not petty at all 😅
They couldn't make everyone hate him, so now they're trying to make everyone forget about him.

Man am I glad i left that honey-boo-boo-moderated shit show
where on reddit can I find lots of Luigi content? I'm interested in having my 7yr old account banned
Before getting banned it's probably a good idea to remove or replace all of your posts and comments with something like https://redact.dev/services/reddit
Reddit monetizes the content that users create so remove that content. The admins probably have tools to restore deleted comments and posts but that takes effort and time and if enough time goes by data and backups get lost.

Migrate your posts to lemmy first (some of the lemmy apps can do this in bulk). Then Edit your old posts and comments, slowly, then delete them slowly. It's your content not Reddits.
By doing this it devalues Reddit in the process as it becomes void of human content only left with AI slop. They certainly dont value the content creators which made Reddit so why should you.

Now I feel challenged to do the same and have my inactive account banned.
