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:

**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.

NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Social media platform Reddit, which helps its users “dive into anything,” may finally plunge into the public markets. The 19-year-old company made over $800 million in sales last year, at least 20% more than in 2022, according to Bloomberg. But a dearth of profit this late into its existence portends the lack of a real business model, suggesting it’s still not ready for public company life.

I am not sure if I ever want to own stock but... yeah I get what you mean. It was "ours", at one point. Then he made it clear that it is "his". Okay, lol, have fun with that. Spez, the canonical power-tripping Reddit mod.

I wonder what else he ruined too - like are people never going to wear Fedoras again, as a result? (although it was kinda on the way out regardless I suppose)

And btw, I am having fun - I must admit that I enjoy the Fediverse far more than I ever did Reddit. Lemmy is now to me what I imagine Reddit used to be, in its early days. I don't mean to be mean but... the people here are actually worth talking to.

That's partly because a much higher share of people here are actually people and not just various shades of bots.

^ THIS - whoops, old habits die hard.

/s btw, b/c I've mostly only ever done that ironically (iirc)

Okay, so you may not even think that's funny, but at least if you get mad, there's a chance that I would LISTEN and we could have a REAL discussion about that! I've changed people's minds here and vice versa, and yeah been brought down a peg or two, b/c as you said these are actually people.

Tbf Reddit has some irl people too, mixed in there, but they are... of a different kind. Some are indistinguishable from bots, while others may as well be.

I don't want to be social media-ist - if it was merely "another place" then that's entirely their call, to live however they want, but dayum, it really is different over there, especially after all the best people left, though it was becoming more that way all the time even before that.

Great interaction, fellow human! Here's a link to my onlyfans!
