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:
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 mean I get that this site has a hate boner for Reddit, but are we really going to look at platforms like Facebook/Meta, TikTok, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube and unironically say that Reddit is worse than all of those?
Reddit is shit. All the others I listed are significantly shittier.
I don’t disagree, they’re all bad. I think reddit stands somewhere in the middle, and it all depends on what you value. For me, the combination of the bot problem and the weird need to hunt people down and harass them was what made me leave. This is specifically what the video I posted is about. The videos title is a little hyperbolic but it was early and I didn’t feel like coming up with a new one, my apologies for the bad headline.
majority of the userbase on this site isn't the type to go for context, or history, or facts. let alone doing any comparative analysis of relative harms
they prefer irrational obsession that blinds all reason and fact and really is just a avenue for expression rage and hate. then they blame it as a necessary response to the 'other side' or whatever issue they perceive themselves to be on the 'right side' of.
What right wing bullshit is this? Painting x as "free speech" and glazing musk. Painting white people Twitter as worst than the Donald. Complaining about right wing being silenced. Just ideological drivel with a few facts thrown in
Twitter is an active Nazi nest. Reddit is recursive AI slop
Make no mistake, Reddit is a safe space for Nazis too. It may not be quite as obvious as the CEO doing a Nazi salute, but the admins actively support mods who promote pro-fascist disinformation.
One of the reasons I am here is because the AI/bot problem on reddit is getting too bad. I was a big contributor to the site but I just cannot deal with the slop anymore. I used the platform for like 17 years, but I am done.
I couldn’t go back if I wanted to.
Whats crazy is when I bring up the botting problem to friends, they say they dont care. Content is content
Transcriptions please, these videos suck
The video description is all advertisements, instead of a single detail about the video, itself. Sorry, if you're gonna upload a 40-minute video and expect people to watch, you gotta give them SOME sort of summary about what's in the video. Instead, they took that opportunity to advertise random, uncurated bullshit to you.
Maybe YouTube is the worst platform.
F*CK
EDDI
!!!!!!!!!
The video is a decent overview of some of the more well-known issues with reddit, but reddit is so much worse than what this video covers. https://maximiliankohler.blogspot.com/2023/06/reddit-is-dangerous-humanity-needs-an-alternative.html
Great read. Makes me feel a lot less alone with the issues I’m facing. Interesting.
