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
It's because the old Reddit interface was a major hole AI scrapers were getting through.
Oh no, where will I get my daily dose of transphobic circlejerking now?!? My pointless hatred needs reinforcement lest I become normal and accepting again.
You can definitely find that kind of stuff on Lemmy or some other federated platform. The real benefit of those platforms over reddit is that it's not controlled or gatekept by any one group, not that the content itself is "better" here, versus on reddit. In fact, the decentralized nature of the fediverse means its next to impossible to prevent transphobia, as compared to reddit, which, if it wanted, could crack down on it much more effectively.
You can find it on Lemmy but it's downvoted to the bottom where it belongs. As you said, Reddit can crack down on bigotry more effectively but it just doesn't. If you can stop bigotry but choose not to then you've made the choice to support it.
Reddit is the "nazi bar" now.
Its downvoted in your bubble, but I'm confident there are instances out there that celebrate it.
I know the distinction seems very fine, but I think it's important that people internalize that content is a wash between the two, at best.
ok
Exactly. The latrine is closed, I got to meal prep now
I wonder, all the content on reddit was built by users. Does reddit own that content? Would there be a way of scraping and reposing all that content somewhere else? Its such a trove of information, its a pity we can use it anymore.
Yeah, it’s infuriating when spez is whining about other companies scraping “his” content—it’s not his content, WE created it, it’s OUR fucking content.
Yeah, I'm actively avoiding clicking on reddit, but damn! It's all of our information!!??? So sad. Fuck corporate greed and it enshitification.
