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:
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.
After the app rating was down to about 2.8 stars on Google Play Store recently, it is now at 4.1 stars. Latest ratings seem to be from September 2022 though.
Looks like they've deleted all the 1-star ratings that had been recently added.
Netherlands:
It seems to me like it's the US which is severely lacking in customer protections, allowing the Playstore to make deals with Reddit to fudge the ratings.
2.7 in Germany
Although honestly, who cares
Not for me 
Although it is higher than it used to be
It is very very important to log in to your local Play Store and mark all the reviews you consider helpful...
And equally, the ones that are clearly astroturfed.
How come they delete 1 star reviews for review bombing, but clearly 5 star bot reviews are fair game?
because the company benefits from those.
Anyone tried review bombing with 5 star reviews and scathing comments to see if their system kicks in to remove all fake 5 star reviews in the last x hours? Or is this a manual removal of reviews they do?
2.9 in uk. Most reviews i see are negative towards the app not the service. So i think it would be wrong for google to adjust the scores.
3.0 is what I see. However I scrolled through hundreds of reviews sorted by "most relevant" and they were nearly all 1 star.
One of the reasons I am still actively trying to DeGoogle all my shit.
If you want to make some similar changes here are some suggestions:
YouTube : PeerTube
Chrome : FireFox with "Hardened Profile" or another browser like LibreWolf (also try to setup uBlock that blocks javascript/3rd party apps by default)
Windows : Linux Mint
Gmail : ProtonMail
Built in Password Manager : Locally Stored Password Manager
I get not all of them are directly Google but this will help block out a lot of the tracking that they do even if you aren't logged into their website.
Peertube is quite bad. I would suggest using Newpipe until it improves, because switching over to Peertube from YouTube means you won't find almost any content anymore.
That means people will switch back to YouTube. So using Newpipe is better I believe. Even though it would be great if everyone started uploading to peertube instead. But people who make videos on YouTube seem to be doing it for the money, so not likely they will enjoy Peertube.
Fair, but I also planned to upload videos there. You aren't kidding though. The instance I joined is all Blender videos lol
3 for me. North America.
What I find hysterical is that there seems to be more one star ratings than five stars!
