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
 

Reddit has quietly removed nearly all avenues for users to provide direct feedback to the platform. Traditional support channels, appeals, and human contact points have been replaced with automated systems, and even r/RedditFeedback is no longer monitored by Reddit staff. This shift reflects a broader trend in large platforms moving toward automation over user communication, raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and long‑term community trust.

Asked for a comment reddit said lol, adding lmao.

The solution has been, and will continue to be abandoning the platform.

Doesn't mean I have to like it. When my only option is to complain/vent/share my thoughts, then that's what I'll do. I understand a person like myself can't change something as big as Reddit, like those who hate AI, if it is what it is then why do people complain if nothing will change?

[–] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are you talking about nothing will change?

The change is abandoning reddit, not imagining that reddit will be fixed somehow.

And that is the trap I'm in, At best I can only hope, hope that somehow Reddit changes... as impossible as that is. I would leave Reddit If it didn't hold on to usernames, accounts like Reddit keep your username "accounts like Reddit keep your ~~user~~name". Believe me I want to leave Reddit, but I want to leave reddit 100% usernames included, like I was never there, unfortunately there's no Digital Privacy Policy Act I can turn to that would give me such an erasure. So either Reddit improves not going to happen, or I find a way to delete my Reddit account 100%, no such thing.

Well I've cleared everything off my Reddit account but I can't bring myself to delete it, it's not a 100% deletion, Reddit keeps the username, I don't want Reddit to claim anything functional or not, I want it to be like I was never there, the mistake of me even being on Reddit, maybe one day when usernames are no longer such a permanence, where a person could leave their account entirely with nothing to look back on.

New to Lemme, and I thought of posting the same post in two different forms Lemmy.World and Lemmy.ca would cast a wider info net so to speak, It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, Reddit was kind of annoying me with its permanence, usernames can't be reused, Its algorithms flag almost anything and as the posts say there's no way to give feedback so plan B, post in places outside of Reddit to raise awareness of Reddit's inefficiencies.

What's better Lemmy.World or Lemmy.ca?
