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:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

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
I can turn it yellow.
No they don't.
Observation has proved man's contrary nature way before this.
Just leave that dogshit site. Lemmy is the way, before the cycle repeats itself, like it always does.
Never take an online discussion to heart, the second you do you've already lost.
I think one can simply replace "Reddit" with "online" here. They might have done their studies on Reddit, but I expect the same behavior in any online place.
I disagree
I saw tourist@lemmy.world at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I love this pasta so much
It's like reading a cartoon.
You're wrong! And you should feel bad!
I feel bad all the time 😎
Wow, groundbreaking research!
Next they'll tell me that people on the internet have strong opinions they don't mind sharing!
I love how this used to be attributed to anonymity. Then big sites with comment sections made use of real names mandatory and... nothing changed, the same people still happily spew their hateful drivel and propaganda. They're fucking proud of it.
That's a great point. That anonymity argument was everywhere in web1.0. Now you never hear about it.
It is still being brought up at times but yeah this ain't about anon lol
No we don’t. That’s a lie. 🤣
Was there ever any doubt?
I myself like to argue things just to argue them. It's a good way to find out if I'm right, or to learn thing I didn't know, and correct my misunderstandings.
But I know that's not everyone's idea of a good time.
True. I oftentimes argue in favor of things I disagree with just to hear some good arguments for when I need to advocate for my beliefs other times.
No one should care that much about arguments on the internet.
Correct, this is completely opt in exercise lol
