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.

So does this count as some kind of fraud or insider trading that can be prosecuted by, say, the SEC or CFTC?

[–] Graz@feddit.de 24 points 11 months ago

Sure does! But nothing will happen, you're essentially a 100% safe running pump and dump schemes as long as you only rip off poor people.

Check out Coffeezilla's yt channel, there's loads of obvious fraudsters out there, nothing ever happens to them.

Good look for a company positioning to IPO...

Wasn’t this information public for days before the dump? I don’t think this can be considered anything illegal if that’s the case, everyone had the same information available. Mods don’t get some sort of special insider preview of most things like this.

When clicking on the article, the line under the title says: "Analysis suggests at least three Reddit moderators dumped thousands of dollars worth of Moons just minutes before the actual announcement."
