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
Just hold the election. If McConnell shows up with the ability to do his job, he can have it back.
It's not about an election. If McConnell vacates the seat before some time in August (I'm not sure the exact day) the Governor of Kentucky (who is a Democrat) can appoint a new Senator. Obviously Republicans don't want this.
8/3/2026.
so August 4th they'll announce he's dead. the funeral will be interesting to say the least. that body is probably a popiscle full of god knows what chemicals to prevent decomposing or he's already buried.
For those to whom the order of numbers makes a difference: 2026 August 3
They changed Kentucky law in 2024. Now the Governor must call for a special election to fill a vacant Senate seat.
they did to ensure Beshear , being a dem cant use his full gov powers to better the state. and him being a GOV of kentucky isnt by accident either. the previous GOV was a republican and he almost ruined the state ecnomically, so they needed a DEM to stall the collapse, or reverse the downturn, also as a way to blame the Dem in charge.
Kentucky law doesn't override Kentucky Constitution.
I'm not familiar with KY's Constitution. Does it say the Governor will appoint the US Senator in a vacancy?
EDIT: I found where there is some argument for the Governor having the authority to appoint a state officer in a vacancy. It'd be up to the courts, I guess.

All of Reddit is compromised. I remember getting permanently banned from WhitePeopeTwitter for calling out Biden's age during his second election. It's one big echo chamber for Democrats or Republicans depending on what sub you're on. Reddit is absolute censored trash and it has been for years now. Hence why I said fuck it. Deleted my account and now I'm here.
i almost never get censured on whitepeopletwitter, they are probably lenient on some things. but if you go to other subs, like r tech, politics, news,,,,etc you will get banned much more easily. and then the wierd newer "News subs"
Most subs on reddit are compromised. As is the platform itself. People still using reddit are wilfully ignorant and/or lacking integrity and intelligence.
also the significant amount of AI posts being allowed on reddit is staggering in certain subs. damninstering, natureislit, interestingfuck, natureismetal, some meme subs. reposted like several times within a few months is pretty much indicative of spamming or AI posts.
I am using reddit for the "plot"
Reddit in general is comprised as long as its corporate owned.
it is mostly bots.
All of Reddit is compromised. At this point, anti-Zionism is a bannable offense. I’ve been banned twice for “hate speech”.
Lol yeah I got banned because I quoted a Zionist and replaced "Palestinians" with "Israelis".
Feel free to call for the genocide and mass murder of Muslims on Reddit though that will never get you banned
It's unbelievable how far reddit has fallen. From 2010 to about 2016. It was the website I visited the most. There were very useful and knowledgeable posts there. It was considered a left leaning website.
Then a ban Then another ban. Few more finally permabanned and anything I create even on new hardware on a new ip was auto banned on the first post.
I gave up. I refuse to click reddit links anymore. Uninstalled the app. I wish I could remember the passwords to my old accounts because I would nuke my entire post history
I don't know how a company survives by nuking it's user base who made it. And I'm far from the only person who's been permabanned. Some entire communities user base has been wiped out.
more than half is mostly bots, its basically a dead internet theory come to fruition.
Always has been.
You can't have a progressive space on a non-progressive platform. At best it gets removed, at worst it gets to stick around specifically so that it can be censored like this, tricking the people who rely on that community for their info into thinking they're fully informed when they're really only getting what information the platform deems benign enough to allow them to see.
its heavily astroturfed, because it also allows right propaganda /bots.
Reddit is ran by a literal Nazi, don't use it.
It is?
A Zionist so even worse.
Spez is pretty much a conservative so yeah
he loves the next nazi, MUSK, he bans at musks every whim.
I think the original founder of 50501 was strong-armed out by a "professional" group of protesters. That's pretty sus in itself.
Because that's not what the sub is for?
Tbh I’d hold off on the pitchforks before checking that the thing a random person on the internet said was true. For all we know this was a duplicate post.
I mean, I’m not going to check because I can’t use old Reddit anymore, but still.
Jfc
The Zionist turbolibs are beginning to panic.
All the liberals not leftists seem to either be panicking or shifting rightward
You can’t fight a fight on their own turf, where they control what you see and who can see you.
5051 have been comprised for a while.
reddit will not allow a non-compromised sub to exist.
There's one type of leftist, the one that left reddit. Everyone still there is either slow to action or larping.
