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.

I highly suspect Reddit is using ai to ban and that's going as well as ai is going in other sectors.
Yes. Exhibit A (Not a ban but along the same lines):
I get the impression that Reddit is a sinking ship, but it's a sinking cruise ship compared to the small fishing boat that is the threadiverse, so I've resigned myself to occupying both spaces for now. Re: banning. I'm pretty sure I was banned manually. Though see the cross post of my OP in Fedibridge. I was auto-filtered before I tweaked the post to pass.
Nah, reddit will survive. Its just shit now. It will survive like Facebook survives. Now that its public it will find a way to make money.
Its less like a ship and more like that old plot of land we all used to play in for one reason or another.
Then, some asshole showed up and built a park and now its all cultivated and policed. It rents its space for concerts and craft shows.
It will survive, but for the people that used it before to shoot fireworks or ride bikes, or even just get high talking about life, its over.
I get what you're saying but I think your analogy kinda backfired, at least on me specifically. For a good 20 years there was this unused plot of land near me that we played around in as kids, but it eventually got turned into a municipal pocket park, and now instead of just teens smoking there are kids playing on the playground, people playing various sports, jogging and cycling on the track, grilling at the pavilions. I still use it, too, just in a different way from when I was a kid.
But in the above case the community gained tremendously from the change. Reddit going public, especially all the stuff it did to get there like the APIcolypse, is only making the experience worse. That's enshittification. The users give stuff up without getting anything in return. All the extra ads aren't paying for new features, in fact they're taking them away. I would have gone crazy for the JSON (interface? API? IDK the correct term) but didn't know it existed until the announcement that they killed it a few days ago. They also got rid of private messages and (really petty IMO) subscriber counts on the old site.
