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.

We unfortunately get the same kind of thing in the fediverse - I'm still banned from a ridiculous number of sh.itjust.works communities (more than are in the modlog, even) due to automod, even tho the intial ban was reverted as a false positive.
I downvoted a couple of posts from one conservative community that were swept into my timeline when this account was new and I was looking around. A day later I was banned from it and five other conservative communities I had never heard of. I don't think that was automod, I think some human mods want to keep the community free of opinions they don't like.
Yeah, that kind of chain-banning is super popular, especially for a while over on db0. It can get pretty ridiculous, for example:
The smug ban message:
The community in question:
why the fuck is it "stable" and wolves with these dumb motherfuckers?
db0 (the admin) is a pretty big fan of generative AI - so db0 (the instance) is quite friendly to it, and has a bunch of communities dedicated to specific types of images generated using StableDiffusion - things like StableDiffusionMycology or StableDragons or, in this case, StableWerewolves.
gross
And nothing of value was lost
If it's a false positive, you should be able to get it resolved by contacting the admins
Try posting in !main@sh.itjust.works
While I do sincerely appreciate the suggestion, unfortunately...
Oh that's annoying, the next best step might be the matrix chat
oh! I didn't realize they had one. Thank you!
Yeah I was being pedantic and caught a ban for something I completely didn't mean to insinuate. It's just internet culture at this point.
