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.

Yesterday, I got off a 3-day ban where I said in reply to a comment about how I said "it should have taken him too" in regards to how it looked like RFK Jr had a stroke in an image of an article. So that was 3 days ban, uncontested. Then, just under an hour ago, I got a 7-day ban for an inoffensive comment similar in vein.

So I guess it's a no-no to talk of "leaders" of departments who condemn people's lives to suffering by ill advice and beliefs. Talk about bending that knee, Reddit. The place has been utter shit. I'm probably going to end up getting a permanent ban when I return when I shit on another right-wing politician.

Yeah, yeah, neg me all you want. I don't care of your feelings. I've learned that it's okay to let politicians dick the lives of millions around up to and including unaccounted deaths. But a little wishful stroke to one politician is "wrong".

They are pissing all over Aaron Swartz's dead body.

Why do you plan to keep returning?

People don’t change in a day, someday though, if they keep trying.

If your last ban was a 7 day then yeah the next ban will be permanent. Reddit doesn't like when you wish harm on their favorite people.

Hell, I caught a 3 day ban for jokingly commenting "I hope he gets cancer 😡" on a photo of a mosquito perched on a cigarette in a shitpost sub.

I say fight the good fight despite how futile it is, but in the likely event you get perm banned, you'll be among friends here.

Reddit never listens to appeals, so I'm not wasting my time. But thanks.

I got a warning for replying to a comment on the r/WTF subreddit about the legality of using lethal force on a home intruder literally bashing your door down with a rifle, which basically read like "fire a warning shot, if theh dont back down, pew pew pew"

(In retrospect it was bad advice. I'm from a country that heavily restricts guns. Warning shots are a bad idea as many pointed out to me.)

Penalty upheld on appeal. These cucks genuinely believe I'm glorifying violence.

I am very tempted to pull the UK GDPR card on them, which would restrict them from using my data to make fully automated decisions and escalate it to an ICO complaint. AI got an infraction on my account and to know I'm one step away from a suspension or permanent ban is unsettling.
