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
Curious to know if the comments are more “What’s the time commitment…expectations…etc?” Or “Bahahaha fuk /u/spez and fuk reddit lolz”
Imagine they're not reading comments and just pick a top level comment at random. And now you're a mod because you commented something like "fuck u/spez - told you so"
Yeah. Could you offer to do it for 100$/hour And if they pick you send bills to reddit?
That is SAD.
No, this is an Arby's
This is a Wendy's, sir
I find it especially concerning that subreddits dedicated to mental health like r/Anxietyhelp or r/therapy are just thrown into the mix to have some randoms be mods. They could easily come with bad intentions and even well intentioned individuals could inadvertently cause a lot of harm.The job of managing any community dedicated to helping those suffering from mental health issues is by no means an easy task just anyone can do. A lot of knowledge about mental health and certain subtle/not easily recognizable problems (i.e. covert incitement of suicide) is required. This is not something any responsible admin would just give away to just about anyone like this.
Did the mods leave on their own or were they thrown out after the blackout?
From what I gathered, a lot of mods were simply kicked out by the admins. Some others left voluntarily. Then some stayed and complied with reddit, since they didn't want to leave their community behind, as it's a passionate hobby for them or they see some kind of importance in their subs and also feel responisble, e.g., subs about some (rare) diseases.
More replies than I thought there would be. Are those volunteers?
People that have so little going on in life that moderating a community on reddit is fun
I would have loved to be a mod of a reddit community when I was 16 years old
