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. **

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.

Reddit is a nazi bar now.
America has essentially been THE place to flee to if you come from a corrupt oppressive country, and/or are educated or considered a dissident. And once you're here, you can become an American like everyone else. Period.
People should be angry that one corrupt fucking pedo and a handful of under taxed assholes are trying to take that away. This should also concern every American, since we are essentially the last place to run to for the oppressed masses, yearning to be free. We have no where to flee to.
And how many of those fleeing from corrupt oppressive countries applied for citizenship and then voted for Trump?
I would imagine a non-insignificant amount. The Right Wing’s propaganda has so thoroughly associated any social policy by the democrats as socialism that the people coming from dictatorships that promised power for the people with socialist policy yet wrecked the country with kleptocratic authoritarianism flee into the arms of the Right Wing who promised them freedom. For some reason the people refuse to see them for what they are – actual dictators and kleptocrats.
Well, not me. Not our family.
Mom is dumb and has no independent thoughts, so I just told her to vote blue because the other side is trying to deport us.
You'll get those people on every single social media site, it's not just a reddit problem, it's a people problem.
jfc. do people have no empathy at all? She's there legally. She got citizenship. Why should she have to live in fear of being deported from a country she's in LEGALLY??
because they’re racists
I think every rasvist should hang themselves.
i think at least some of them can be redeemed… but i wouldn’t mind too much
Ding ding ding!
These are truly dumb people with absolutely no ability to reflect or think critically. They just hate everyone who isn't exactly like them, either visually, morally or spiritually.
Plenty of folks only have sympathy for those these know directly. As for empathy, I don't think they have that.
This is 2025 America, not Nazi Germany
I... um... have some news for OP.
What’s that stat? That 1 in 3 commenters is a bot? I hate that there’s bots, but it’s strangely reassuring to think not all the hate mail being sent to the OOP is from a real person.
According to Kurzgesagt it's higher than 1 in 2, and according to the Dead Internet Theory 50% is where it begins. The con is that the aggressive bots are almost always made by people for the purpose of attack so it's still people, the pro is that it's likely one person's agenda for every thousand or so bots
Sounds like we need to make good bots that drown out the bullshit. Fight fire with fire.
You don't fight bullshit with more bullshit. The problem is people passing bots off as an authentic human response. Doing more of that with a different ideological slant doesn't make things more alive, just dead with different aesthetics.
It'd be more to combat the toxicity, not to magically make them go away
Let's think that through. For that to work we only want the bot to respond to toxic AI slop, not authentic humans trying to engage with other humans. If you have an accurate AI slop detector you could integrate that into existing moderation workflows instead of having a bot fake a response to such mendacity. Edit: But there could be value in siloing such accounts and feeding them poisoned training data... That could be a fun mod tool
The only way to take out a bad guy with ~~gun~~ bot, is a good guy with a bot

Does reddit allow any kind of content in direct messages? Why can't they disable bots like that by deleting their accounts?
Reddit recently got rid of their direct message system entirely in favor of their new 'chat' system, which overall sucks, but one advantage is you now don't see messages by default and have the option to 'ignore' message requests instead of seeing their content. As for manual moderation, doubt that will ever happen since Reddit is a corporation that isn't going to want to pay people for that kind of thing.
Lmao just make a post that those contrary to the Lemmy propaganda machine and you'll get the same experience.
Eh... I blocked the tankie triad, its very chill most of the time
I think theres a slight distinction, the far-right likes to use racial slurs, tankies mostly just falsely accuse you of being a "zionist" or "genocider" or "brainwashed with western propaganda", which, I mean, I'm none of that, so their words doesn't really hurt me lmao.
Tall about religion in a positive light anywhere on Lemmy and you'll find both extremes aren't that different.
