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
They're here and on Mastodon too.
Sometimes people respond with contextually sensible words, but its almost like they didn't actually read what I said, just the topic of what I said.
I have been chalking it up to international userbase and possible translation issues, but maybe I'm encountering some bots? I would say its about 1/10 of my responses is kind of... Off?
This is also my anecdotal experience as well. Which sucks, because I'm autistic so I get accused of being a bot all the time...🙃
I used to use bullet points in a lot of my posts. Been accused of being a bot for that reason.
A bot wouldn't have my bad spelling thank you very much!
Yeah, if you put too much thought into formatting and structure, you get labeled a bot now.
This isn’t going to be good for society in the long run.
Listen buddy, after Covid the brain just never quite got back into the groove on online conversations for some of us. I feel very called out, lol.
There are a lot of bots, but some of us are legit just a little damaged.
LOL
considering my biggest loss from Reddit was Cannabis communities, I can relate to the brain damaged perspective.
(I do not think cannabis causes brain damage, but I have been known to say some dumb shit while stoned).
I tend to leave long rambling comments in replies after smoking a bowl sometimes
I made this comment on a post the other day, and I got this reply. I've read and reread it multiple times but I still can't figure out what the hell they're trying to say.
Now after reading your and OP's comments, I'm wondering if I've also been replied to by a bot.
yeah NGL the double quotation has me super confused in their first line, I think this is a pretty good example of what I am talking about and I appreciate you bring it to the thread.
The USA abandoned and betrayed its Afghani translators.
oh wow, the subject matter is not funny at all, but the joke is... Goddamn got me here.
tbh i think ive done this a few times now, scrolling lemmy half asleep. hopefully my non-native sounding english can show i'm a human though lol
They get plenty of traction too.
They're here?
