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:
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.
This sub paid a lot of lip service to the protest and participated in the blackout, but they removed my post promoting Lemmy and the liberal gun owners group here. Ain't that some shit?
Edit - I've been informed in the comments that the mod message may have been misleading and my post might have actually been removed by Reddit admins. I certainly hope that is true and if so the mods there are not deserving of my misdirected anger.
@TrinityTek Hi - its not the mods at r/liberalgunowners who removed your post. I've been in touch with the mod there and when I made a similar post about Kbin last week it was removed by the Reddit admins, not the sub mods. They wanted to let me know it wasn't them. Spez has been doing all sorts of shit like that, Its one big reason why I'm done with Spezzit. Post in the m/liberalgunowners magazine here on Kbin-social.
Thanks for letting me know! I certainly hope that's true and it wasn't actually the sub mod team as the message indicated. That's really slimy for Reddit admins to do that and make out as though it's the mods, but it's definitely not surprising at this point.
@TrinityTek I feel very confident that it is not the mods that took your post down. Like I mentioned my post was taken down by Reddit admin, not the mods. The head mod at LGO has been checking out Lemmy and Kbin as potential alternatives. He is concerned about the lack of mod tools here because they get trolls from everywhere. You can check on the LGO wiki for their approach, but the mods feel like they are fucked once the third party apps end. Recommend you DM him on Reddit. Also, understanding mod tools is beyond my technical capability but the way we can help ourselves is to put the tools in place that will give the LGO mods confidence that we’re a viable alternative. They recognize that gun related subreddits are not in Spez’s plans and there is a community being served that vitally needs help.
...Goddammit.
I'm probably going to just have to take some kind of leap of faith then, because I've been completely banned from Reddit now, which means I can't message the mods there, and they can't message me. Fuckity fuck.
Is it possible to communicate to the real mods ~~(not from the company)~~ for OP's favor to introduce that Lemmy community? Why not reach and private talk to them? Why not the mods themselves to introduce it?
Also suggestion:
Why not ~~flood~~ advertize ~~Lemmy/etc...~~ by many many supporting users on every sub on that website through posts and comments (would affect to storage space and content-analysis-for-AI)? Let's see if those ~~really fake insecure company pretending to be~~ mods could keep that.
@xptiger wanted to say that the mod team is actively looking for alternatives but as I mentioned they feel that they need much higher functioning mod tools to be able to make the switch
Even if it is admins, I'd like to think a self prescribed leftist would be more mindful of the platforms and content they consume and what it means in the context of their ultimate political goals, and is sort of disappointing, but not surprising, the amount of lip service paid to their "ideals"
Thank you for the edit, I hope it's true, too. Fuckin spez
I have tried posting in Bangalore subreddit about the new Bangalore community here. The post and my user acounts were shadow banned.
You in Europe? Report this to European authorities. This is illegal anti-competitive action.
I appreciate the suggestion. It's been great hearing about the exciting new regulations coming out of Europe, such as USB C on iPhones and replaceable batteries on mobile devices. It's great that the European government looks out for the people like that. Sadly here in the US many of our lawmakers are beholden to corporations and special interests and there is very little in the way of enforcement for anticompetitive action.
I don't even really care about the guns or liberal part. I don't consider myself liberal, but either way Reddit is trying to censor information concerning competitor platforms on its own platform. This is a violation of EU anti-competition regulations and will get Reddit into some big legal and financial trouble.
That is really discouraging from self-described liberals.
Sounds like it might be admins hiding behind a moderator disguise. That sounds at least equally plausible to me.
