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
What?
I had to stop reading this shit. I can’t believe there’s an article about it. I guess 404 can go ahead and go bankrupt, fuck off.
Edit, to be fair, it was a quote from a Vice article.
I wouldn't be surprised if the ban was a pretext and the sub was just something admins found objectionable for their own reasons. Like as long as mods remove material and users when an issue is brought to their attention then the sub should be fine.
The fact they don't know why it happened is telling that they weren't given a real chance to correct the issue. Just centralised social media things I guess.
I feel like the real reason would be that Reddit suits know that Reddit is stereotyped as a gooner website and don't want people to think redditors are gooners, which is very wishful thinking as everyone already knows they are some of the biggest gooners out there online.
Being a gooner is a significantly more worthwhile investment of your limited time on this earth than being a reddit admin imho.
But they get pai.... ohh, right.
I believe the admins do get paid. It's the mods that were fucked over here that don't get paid. I was really talking about ~~your~~ one's overall contribution to humanity.
EDIT: I didn't like how personal this sounded, it wasn't meant to.
My friend's kids are in high school and their generation looks down on Reddit. They associate it with millennials.
As a millennial, I agree
Oh, for a moment I was afraid that they'd look down on gooners.
Yea, I'm not asking them about that.
