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 actually very unethical, no matter where it's done.
You should either let someone's effort be seen, or prevent them from making the effort in the first place.
But having them waste their time by doing the effort, and then having it not be seen, in essence fooling them, is very unethical, and intellectually dishonest.

I'm a huge fan of Lemmy's public mod logs. They are crucial for keeping miderator action above board and if someone is power tripping the evidence is there.
I am as well, truly. Sometimes it's even just entertaining to go read those logs for a bit, to see how people are, and what gets them or their comments banned.
If anything my problem with Lemmy is an under/lack of moderation, but that's neither here or there for this discussion.

The point of shadow banning is to waste the time of bots.
And not to censor human beings? At all?
That makes no sense. Detecting shadow banning can be automated.

It was originally for bots. Yes.
Well would you expect someone who wanted to censor others to come out and explicitly say the real reason is because they want to censor others?
No, they'll say things like because it's the help combat bots. We've all seen how well that works.

Sure, now. But it was made to circumvent bots. To increase the amount of trouble it is to spam. Don't know what you're trying to argue here.
