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
Edolf 🤣 using this from now on
I got banned for repeatly saying ashli babbit deserved a bullet. Got classified as promoting violence
Well, that is pretty direct.
Same, happened to me hours ago, with no message stating why, or no recourse.
Elon whined to Spez to do something about Redditors being mean to him.
I guess it worked. Fuck both of them.
There is these blanket responses that goes like this: "Free speech is only that the government can't punish you" and "It's a private company it can moderate how it wants". I take a lot of issue issue with it. In our times the wast majority of speech takes place on online on privately owned plattforms. I don't se what the point is in freely submitting to a world where only corporate approved speech is allowed.
First permaban was for asking: "Any updates on Mitch McConnell? I could use some good news." Mod appeal denied
Then on another account a year later (bc I got so many death threats from Nazis on Reddit), I forgot I had a ban on that sub and said, "We should spend money feeding our kids instead of spending it to blow up someone else's kids." And that was an IP ban.
Crazy, I've seen literal Nazis on there not even get comments removed. We live in dark times.
the first reason was ridiculous, jyust for asking that question? you know it turning right wing, when you cant even IMPLY things. i used accounts like you did, dint get ban that aggressively, maybe because i was also using multiple locations, confused reddit for a while.
Same loool Let’s make Lemmy grow and leave any centralised social network.
I got banned about a year ago for... checks notes repeatedly calling a genocidal army "bastards" =,D
Edit... ok maybe I called them sons of bitches and nazis.
They especially hate it when you're correct.
Or constantly criticize Capitalism.
Consider yourself lucky to be off that fascist bootlicking platform
My 11 year old account got banned and I'm not even sure why. I posed a lot over the years. They said I was banned, pointed to a deleted comment. When I asked what the comment said they replied the reviewed the ban and now I'm banned.
I believe it was for a comment about how America would be in trouble if they invaded Canada (I'm Canadian). I stated some basic facts that Canadians look like Americans and they will attack America on American soil. It was matter of fact, not promoting any sort of violence.
Whatever. America is dying. I suppose services hosted on American soil die right along with it. We're actively avoiding as many US products and services as possible, so Reddit can kick rocks.
I discovered Lemmy, it suits my needs and I like it better.
right now, right wingers need to take over many western countries, and reddit wants to stop that discussion, at the behest of MUSK.
I got shadowbannned after posting about politics.
I never called for or celebrated violence, didn't upvote pictures of Luigi (which they have a STRANGE hard-on for) or any of that. I just posted neutrally-worded opinions.
Shadowbanning is an abusive behavior and Reddit has been about that for well over a decade. On Twitter, you do something they don't like, they just tell you, "you have to delete this tweet and wait 12 hours" or whatever. On Reddit, your account just gets "weird" with strange error messages. You have to go digging for information on the phenomenon because they don't display a message or send an email about it.
The cute little aliens are there to paper over the fact that Reddit's leadership has no concept of user advocacy. You're just rows in a few tables to them. You're the product that's being sold, and as far as they're concerned that gives you the same rights as any other product on a shelf.
They are still sending me emails with cute little aliens in them, even though my account is hosed. This is how disjointed they are.
Someone else wrote that on Reddit, the users and admins hate each other. I think that's true.
uusually they shadowban people for being repeat ban evaders, now they are doing it for any reason. thier filters also caught innocent in the crosshairs too.
Perma-banned for fighting back against the fascist take over of Reddit
Likewise.
My first offense was recommending that we bring back the guillotine.
My second offense was saying that MTG and fElon needed to get punched in the face after they said that Sesame Street was woke trash that needed to be canceled.
Fuck those vile pieces of shit!
Over 13 years and a quarter million karma later, it has come down to this.
Yep, got that a few hours ago, but there was no message in my inbox explaining why, and no option to appeal a global permaban.
No worries, I'm done with that Spez bitch.
At least they sent you a message instead of just making your account not work.
Welp, said Elon needs to be assassinated for involving himself in European politics as a non European plutocrat
I got my 10+ year old account permabanned for saying “trans women are women”, which somehow went against their rules about promoting violence. No warning given or anything. Appeal went ignored.
Honestly, the only thing Reddit is good for any more is porn. That's mostly what I go there for now. Occasionally something comment worthy will catch my eye and I'll post one but I'd say at this point I use it for porn about 75% of the time. I come here for discourse now. Though there are places here that can be as bad as reddit sometimes. * cough * .ml * cough *
I just got tired of everything being an OCD argument, including once getting yelled at for saying it was a nice day.
Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
Welcome to lemmy where you get banned for saying you can't dictate American politics based solely on Palestine.
