Can we talk about the unnecessary death of the Oxford comma?
Fuck all headlines that don't use it.

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
Yet these actions also favor users who behave in the manner most useful to the platform’s economic model while making participation difficult for those whose primary goals are sharing articles and information, having thoughtful and civil discussions and presenting original content.
Has Reddit sacrificed an opportunity for meaningful civic discourse in its pursuit of extracting maximum value from its users’ unpaid labor?
Yes. Next question?
Can I just randomly throw in that new reddit's UI just plain sucks? Holy hell it’s bad. (I'm still looking at a few very niche subs.)
Good, fuck reddit.
Ya Reddit can fuck right off, it’s nothing like it was and now hardly worth using. Going to go down the tech drain like Digg did.
Digg is back now 🤣
So is MapQuest, oddly enough.
"Aggressive bans", please. Half the site is the most obnoxious people you've ever met and the other half are bots. Normal people on reddit represent a statistically insignificant percent of users. I would love it if they could be aggressive with bans.
They ban aggressively based on who is in power at the time. When Biden was they banned even the tiniest discussion of vaccines in a not glowing positive light. With Trump they now treat Nazism as a legitimate political viewpoint and thus the whole punch a Nazi thing that used to be accepted as part of general culture became bannable as political violence and terrorism. Which I guess technically is true but it clashes with past American propaganda so it’s hard to unlearn.
'Aggressive bans' should be 'random mod is just being a petty cunt'
I'd prefer a petty cunt with a backbone over a limp weenie unwilling to take a stand against dogwhisles and slop
obnoxious people
The mods are obnoxious. And let's face it, you have to be in order to want to be a mod for free.
I agree but probably for different reasons than you. I think reddit mods in general let too much slide and that's why the site has filled with slop.
