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.

MODERATORS
Well actually you can say [removed for rule violation]
The r/mexico sub is controlled by government paid mods, they manipulate the posts by removing or hidding those that bring light to the illegal things they do, ban the users who get vocal about it but allow the bots to be as aggressive as they want.
There have already been complaints with the reddit admins, but they seem to be aligned with it, so they do shit about it.
It's a weird thing because the bots get downvoted hard, making it seem as if the sub wasn't aligned with it, but it's more about the normal users not being idiots even if the mods and bots want everyone to lick boots.
Reddit is becoming typically right wing where they allow people to discuss various topics as long as their answers don’t disagree with their political leanings
I don't think it's long before it dies off and goes the way of Facebook. It'll have users sure, but it will be long past producing any content worthwhile
Nah, they will keep the corpse alive and possibly even more thriving (at least to the shareholders) with bot accounts. It is quite clear that a shitload of AI bots are being tested out in various subs at the moment.
I mean yeah that's exactly like Facebook
The enshittification intensifies.
The enspezification
The intenshittification.
The r/AskBrits subreddit on Reddit has banned users from all “anti-British sentiment”.
Askbrits 62k members.
Askuk 2milion members.
I got banned from the latter because of their stupid absolutely no politics rule. Lots of questions can't be answered without it being down to politics.
Time for !scotland@lemmy.world to shine!
Where presumably it will be perfectly OK, putting the boot on the other foot so to speak, to discuss making Scotland part of England.
Is this even „news” in the literal sense? The bigger subreddit seems to be r/AskUK, anyway, and they don’t have this petty rule (62 thousand vs. 2 million).
But yeah, really petty indeed.
