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.
Edit: apparently they're posters you can download https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1KPaA4jNHcWLFNbjl4M1Q5HxXROnZtYXd
So where do I go raise hell with my reddit accounts that have not yet been banned? Automod seems to catch me fast at high pop subs for posts... But maybe the answer is making comments. Idk.
Sell 'em? I've thought about it.
Reddit is a Nazi web site.
Reddit is run by Nazis*
...so it's a Nazi website.
You know how the Germans see it. " If there are 4 people at the table and one of them is a nazi, then there are 4 Nazis at the table"
I see MAGA the same way.
Because reddit is pro-nazi dump, of course. That's why we're here, isn't it?
Deleted my Reddit account after more than a decade today.
I love the simple brilliance of "Elon Musk is a bellend", nothing more really needs to be said.
Yup. Also got my account suspension due to "suspicious activity" on "upvoting and engaging with discriminatory and violent content".
Meaning I upvoted posts condemning US's current position, and correcting the swarm of misinformation by US shills.
Glad I finally managed to nuke my entire reddit history and delete my account. F' that toxic cesspool. R/Europe and other euro-canadian subs already felt like more US and Russian shills were active than actual europeans or canadians.
I had all my comments admin removed that were criticizing Russia from an academic perspective and academic tone. I even cite and quote well respected interns relations journals that are totally neutral to traditional conservative in leaning. Nope.
What’s so utterly bizarre is that the “conservative” community on Reddit keeps blasting that it’s “ultra-left.” If plainly stating “Russia’s war time economy is something I don’t like” is “ultra-left” then I am fucked and probably already on a list haha
As soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, I was permabanned after 12 years and almost a million Karma. I was sad at first, but more and more, Reddit is filled with bots, trolls, punsters, novelty accounts, and plenty of other nonsense. 50% of most comment sections were bullshit, and its been increasingly difficult to have a good faith discussion without it breaking down because of a flood of bad faith contributions.
I've come to terms with the idea that im better off. Without vigorous discussion, what good is Reddit?
Precisely that. If a forum meant for discussion has its credibility compromised, what good is it as a discussion platform?
It's one thing disagreeing with one's PoV or not tolerating actual aggressive/toxic behavior. It's another entire thing to censor opinions written with civility and arguments, or allow for bots to derail any meaningful discussion and demotivate/shame people for what they believe in. En masse, at that.
I am willing to learn another person's PoV if it differs from my own - heck, if they make a compelling argument and present facts I had not considered I might even change my stance on the subject.
But simply discussing in bad faith and relying solely on insults or disinformation, plus an unwillingness to also consider other people's PoV is not the way to reach common ground on differing positions. That's when I realize that person is playing around and I might as well not give them their fix of dopamine.
had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.
Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people
Welcome. I was on Reddit for more than a decade. It was fun while it lasted but we are all better here on Lemmy.
Welcome! Similar story. I upvoted on a long standing account and got warned. Not sure which upvote did it. I’ve got a few hundred thousand karma across accounts. Had a fair share of OC hitall. Pretty typical engaged user.
Then I tried to help someone in a niche sub with buying bedding. And auto admin mod kept removing my comment post. Then the sub mods messaged me and said they tried to make my comment visible multiple times and couldn’t override the admin.
Then I followed mod advice and reposted my helpful comment only to get an auto banned on all accounts from the admin for “spam” (for two comments? Really?). The sub admin were able to override the ban and reinstate me since I did nothing wrong.
It’s way too frustrating to deal with. Out of the past year like 800 normal/helpful comments of mine have been shadow removed or admin removed.
At that point I’m just talking to myself. After 12 years, I never thought I’d leave Reddit but here we are. Happy to be on Lemmy.
It’s way too frustrating to deal with.
Exaaactly!!
They put in so much effort to stop bots (restricting new accounts alot: read experiences how they wont directly let you know that stuff isnt loading anymore, read about hidden scores and also I remember years back in the beginning how confusing and weird the system was towards me with errors not allowing to post being "unavailable", etc)
And then, they dont offer any supports like ticket systems for actual humans to apply and seek dialogue. (I mean they do, but its all automated responses into complete support restriction after deny without any non-automated input)
They really dont care about the users. And its has the same silicon valley agenda behind it. Especially with the accumulated changes to algorithms. It seems so based on baiting user's interaction rather than seeking genuine connection and helpfulness
And its shocking how hidden this issue is on reddit. And people talking about reddit: all criticism you hear is how its a bubble (esp politically used). But nobody talks about how crazy the handling of users is. I literally been seperated.
Maybe thats the essence of mentioned bubble issue in disguise after all
Can safely upvote and share without breaking Terms and Conditions
Because Reddit has chosen the wrong side of history.
Just like multiple German companies did when Hitler and his fascists rose to power.
Because those who appease our new robot overlords will be handsomely rewarded! (Or at least tortured slightly less)
I love all these. But what I particularly love is that there are three really clever ones and the fourth is like, fuck it, let's just call him a bellend.
Reddit is run by Nazi collaborators.
I wish the US knew how to protest
We are, media is being stifled intentionally.
there was a petition on reddit a few days ago, it got 16k signatures ... 16 fucking k in a country of 350 million!
meanwhile, there was 800.000 people on the streets of belgrade a couple of days ago, 4 months after the protests began still going stronger and stronger
americans don't know shit about protesting
I love that its "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi ... Bellend"
