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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That's the objective you've projected into the subreddit and its moderation team.
Their actions make it clear that their objective is this weird capitalist "growth at any cost" mentality that permeates the modern influencer culture online today. They resent competition because they don't want to have to try.
I'm not so sure.
There were discussions a while ago about splitting the sub in two communities: the main one, and then a "new comers" one, for where people could ask regular new comers questions. There was some push for the community, as the sub was becoming more and more a "what are the best neighborhoods" set of questions every week.
That one mod (I think it was them, not sure, but anyway, it's not important) where against it, because it would "fragment the community". From a pure growth perspective, creating another community where people would also come was beneficial to them (as they would mod both), but I guess they were just reluctant to change. To me it's more this than the growth mindset that pushes them to make this kind of decisions.
Still so weird that people work for a Nasdaq company for free.
I mod here a few communities on Lemmy, because I know everybody, from the devs to the admins to the app devs, is a volunteer. Giving my free time to work for a company that has shareholders seems so strange.
