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.

Don't talk to laywers without a lawyer.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, that response email is an excellent example of why you should have an attorney at least review all such correspondence prior to sending.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And a lawyer for that lawyer

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

...it's lawyers all the way down.

Also, bigger lawyers feed on smaller lawyers, scoop them up in gigantic mouthfuls, can consume up to four tonnes per day.

I just hope the ff7 meteor comes down all this shits dumb at this point.

Reddit needs to die. They don't care about the user base, it's a cyberbullies paradise, they allow sub moderators to use software to block your IP even though an IP ban is supposed only be done by administrators, but admin doesn't care because they get money. And now that they've partnered with Google they can have an algorithm go ahead and block every email associated with Google.

Also if you really want to see how censored reddit is ran now, go to one of the most popular subs and just try to use the word "moderator" in a post. You don't even have to criticize them. They literally block the word from getting used because they refuse criticism

There was a case where a reddit mod was power tripping and if i remember correctly he was banning people for no reason/Criticism

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a lot that go on crazy power trips still. And it's only going to get worse because there's no repercussions to their actions nor is the checks and balances to ensure mods are doing what they're supposed to do

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

True and power trips happen in popular subreddits

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

They literally block the word

Then just refer to them the same way the greedy little pigboy did: landed gentry.

[–] synthBirba@misskey.social 23 points 2 weeks ago

@ooli@lemmy.world need to thanks reddit and they bullshit moves because they made me discover Fediverse and finally disconnect from a centralized world!

[–] zeograd@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks for your efforts! The only sound conclusions on their side would be to shut off unauthenticated endpoints returning valuable data.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That would kneecap public access to anything. Their API is what runs their site, requiring auth for everything would essentially break Reddit for anyone not logged in.

That would kill new accounts. No one would know what was being talked about before onboarding, but without that information, what would their motivation be for onboarding?

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I agree but that is what Twitter seems to have done and for some reason it's still around. Dying, but still around.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sucks to be them.

You technically don't need to accept their EULA to access these unauthenticated endpoints, it's how most third-party YouTube clients like NewPipe are able to do whatever they want.

[–] _____@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

Reasons everywhere to leave reddit, Twitter and even YouTube (who we all probably thought they couldn't ruin their reputation).

And yet the masses won't. They care too much about bots inflating their follow numbers and people with a community don't want to make an effort to keep it outside of the platform. Twitter is at its worst it's ever been but that doesn't seem to matter to anyone.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Is this similar to how rdx works? I use it when I need to check my city’s sub from time to time.

[–] Mobiledecay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I'm sure everyone on here is here because we were banned from Reddit. 😂

Can't get banned if you delete your account

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And half of my reddit homepage is marked with the nsfw tag

[–] dsilverz@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 weeks ago

I still have Reddit account (since 2012) and I was never been banned there... Because I barely use it. In few days, I've been using Lemmy (and Mastodon) more than I ever used Reddit in years, because I value and like decentralized and open platforms.

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I got banned for fighting pedophiles over stupid Dr disrespect drama. Stupid as in Doctor disrespect is a pedophile and his fans made excuses. I went into their sub like the little dumbass I am and picked fights with pedophiles about why "he didn't break any laws" isn't incompatible with him being a fucking pedophile and reddit banned me for "distributing child sexual content". For telling people that just because it's legal to fuck a 16 year old in Alabama doesn't mean your not a fucking pedo.

Appealed and denied at that.

I shouldn't go picking fights in bees nests, or at all generally. Bad for your mental health and all. But still disturbs me that reddit won't ban the pedophile defenders but will ban someone picking fights with them.

[–] Mobiledecay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I can't believe people are defending him. I guess I shouldn't be so shocked.

[–] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

24 hour ban. Because I told a terf to "go die" when she was advocating for post op trans women to be placed in men's prison.

Like, nah. I ain't gonna let someone play me like that.
