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 started to notice some thing weird while using Reddit, every link post from Condé Nast owned news outlet was getting a high amount of upvotes and awards while other publications had a very normal rate of awards( usually zero, with the exception of the sponsored ones) and upvotes.

That when I started to investigate this matter till I found out about this.

They are boosting their publications on Reddit on the major subreddits. They are trying to give their publications a advantage over all the other news outlets.

They have the ability to kill the other news outlets if they keep doing that. Avoid them as if your freedom is dependent on it.

Can anybody recommend some morally pure alternatives?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I really enjoy some of Ars’ coverage, but I agree that Conde sucks

[–] GeekyOnion@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I've felt like they are one of the few outlets that still does any actual research or investigation into the topic of their articles.

[–] Pro@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

My advice to people who see my post here is to spread awareness about this widely as much as they could.

They own the social media and they own the news. They are going to control people thoughts and fuck the whole journalism industry ( Bankrupt competitors) if they kept doing this.

Thank you for pointing this out

Yeah, its scary with AI and some simple editorializing how easily a small media empire could put blinders on millions of people and weave a narrative more believable than reality.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Nah, Teen Vogue is awesome. Just stop using Reddit.

So there's a number of tools to do this on desktop, but how can I easily block these domains on Android across multiple browsers and reroute to a page reminding me why they're blocked?

Desired behavior: I type in a conde nast URL and it takes me to a page that says blocked, sketchy ownership with a link to the Wikipedia page or this thread.
