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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reddit is a Nazi web site.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

...so it's a Nazi website.

[–] NoFearFrontier@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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"

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

I see MAGA the same way.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Sell 'em? I've thought about it.

Deleted my Reddit account after more than a decade today.

[–] Zerberr@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because reddit is pro-nazi dump, of course. That's why we're here, isn't it?

Why does everyone still care so much about what Reddit does?

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.

[–] tischbier@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

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?

[–] hikuro93@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

I love the simple brilliance of "Elon Musk is a bellend", nothing more really needs to be said.

[–] arakhis_@feddit.org 46 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (10 children)

Never thought Reddit is so shady.

  • I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like "fox news" as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
  • Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
  • 7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
    • ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)

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

[–] Branch_Ranch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Welcome. I was on Reddit for more than a decade. It was fun while it lasted but we are all better here on Lemmy.

[–] tischbier@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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

Because Reddit has chosen the wrong side of history.

Just like multiple German companies did when Hitler and his fascists rose to power.

Can safely upvote and share without breaking Terms and Conditions

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 119 points 2 days ago (20 children)

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.
