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.

"Reddit continues to be anti-free speech," Cedric Hohnstadt said on X. "I just got a lifetime ban from the 'comics' subreddit. Yesterday, I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn't. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the 'comics' subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?" The post has been viewed 3.7 million times.

Amazing that a blind man can draw comics.

It sucks to get banned for life from somewhere you love for doing something you didn't feel was wrong, but holy hell, Musk absolutely threw up a Nazi salute.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, you're wrong.

He threw TWO Nazi salutes. Elon Musk does two Nazi Seig Heil Salutes

You can do anything. Except criticising musk. Thats too far.

The post has been viewed 3.7 million times.

Assuming this is the info box in new Reddit, those stats always felt... wrong

The difference between comments/votes and supposed "views" made it seem like the later was inflated.

Even more obvious was when something got posted at odd hours of the night in a local community. The view count would take off shortly after, while the comments and votes would only show up around when people wake up.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 18 points 3 weeks ago

I think you severely underestimate the amount of people who just browse and don't interact with stuff.

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU NAZI FUCK

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 26 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Well said, if a little too understated even. In germany, some mention the nuremberg trials and nazis immediately shit their pants. Give it a read if you like.

one X user claimed the website was "anti-free speech" after he said he was banned from the "comics" subreddit for denying that the tech mogul did a Nazi salute

That sounds like pro truth rather than "anti free speech", no?

Reddit's about to get shittier. Again. Either they'll kowtow to Musk and make it against the rules to ban X links or they'll give some bland, noncommital, centrist statement about how they respect the hard work their mods put in to keep Reddit going or whatever. I really doubt they'll make any unequivocal statement condemning Musk as the neo-Nazi shitbag he is.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 46 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

The second reddit pulls some pro-Elon conservative bullshit, expect Lemmy to be FLOODED.

Reddit is a liberal haven and there will be a mass exodus if they toe the President Musk line.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 27 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

If the API price-gouging scandal didn't bring them all over already, then you might be surprised just how many continue to hang on there, even after this one. And the next one. And the next.

It's just how people are. We don't want to change.

It will bring some people over. But I doubt there will be a flood.

I hope he doesn't. Most reddit users should just stay on reddit

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 18 points 3 weeks ago

Alternatively, nobody should stay on Reddit.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 11 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly, I dont mind them making fedi instances. We have extremist instances barely anyone federates with, why not have the normies and liberalists have their own? They will probably go to threads anyway which we also defederated. I feel like every person (including musk, the orange and what other hitler wannabe comes next) should be on the fedi and be able to get fucking defederated by everyone. I feel like if that happened, we could finally move on from stateism to something more horizontal/federated but thats just a junior anarchists wet dream I guess.

it won't be long before the piggy little fuckboy starts sucking on musk's nipple and issue some sort of ban to that movement. god it's good to be off that site

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 58 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have no doubt Spez will be thrilled to help further enshitify reddit.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Spez would be thrilled to sell it, I'm sure.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 13 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

Elon Musk Takes Aim at Reddit

"This is insane," Musk responded.

Yep, totally taking aim at Reddit. Definitely not clickbait.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

YES? Buy reddit! The death of reddit is only a good thing.

Today I made a joke about Donni on r/pic, nothing vulgar, just that he never touches his wife and I was instantly banned. Fuck Reddit
