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.

Oh don't worry - Lemmy will soon have people posting child porn, gore, or other things en-masse before reporting the site/domain. I've seen it on almost every Reddit alternative since Digg shut down.
They'll run hit pieces against this place for being extremist, they'll do all sorts of nasty shit.
So first they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.
I wonder how resistant to that Lemmy will be, with the whole federation thing. Harder to ban it when it’s not just one domain.
Yeah, I mean I barely understand this federated stuff. To my understanding, each instance has their own rules. I can't post nudes on my Lemmy.ca to my understanding. I think if there's an instance that is running "afoul" then the instance I connect with can block the entire instance?
Yep, that's how we roll. Others can tell you the details. I'm just an end user. On my end I can block nazi's, or anyone I don't like. u/universalmonk was one, acted so surprised when I blocked and didn't want to explain why. Funny thing, if you can block someone for being an asshat, suddenly they are less encouraged to do that, and have to find a more socially acceptable way to be. Cheers.
Links to that? Because I've never seen Universal Monk act surprised when someone blocked him/her.
In fact, he/she often recommended blocking them if you didn't agree with what they said.
daily reminder that you can just use they/them in place of he/her she/him pronouns because that's literally a designed feature of the english language.
You should know, right Monk?
Bingo!
All I did was ask for a link showing that UM was surprised or upset that you blocked her/him, because I've never seem them question that before. I always seem to remember them suggesting blocking them, not being upset by it.
I didn't say you were incorrect; i was just asking for proof cuz I've never seen it. It's not like I am super concerned about it or anything. But I don't live on lemmy and have no investment between your feud--or whatever it is--with that person. not a big deal to me either way
Give it up, Monk. You’re not fooling anyone.
?
Dude.. you’re not fooling anyone.
Reddit has CSAM on it. Reddit has a subreddit selling porn that is now known to feature CSAM. I along with a few others tried to kill it. We're all here now.
Lemmy has already had CSAM instances.
I remember growing up we'd be graded down on our writing papers if we used an acronym without spelling out what it meant the first time.
child sexual abuse materials
how well known is the sub? Are we talking like, 30 users, or like 300k users.
Small which is likely why they never killed it.
very gross, some of the medical subs were getting close to CP because minors were asking about "skin conditions" and they were showing thier private areas, and perverts were rushing into dming those people, i think the mods shut that down very quickly.
Permanent prison sentence
Already happened to world iirc
reddit did have problems with that in medical subs. i dont think most of them are heavily moderated(i think there is more moderation now) because minors were being contacted by perverts to show them more. and some users were shocked that there was a part-time teenager modding that NSFW sub, also theres significant amount of self-harm glorifying posts too. the 2 subs i know that are very restrictive is askdoc and dental on what you can even comment or post.
