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.

Hello, Lemmy community. I left Reddit for good once r/pics decided to permanently ban me because I posted to a Trump subreddit. I am not a Trump supporter, nor should that matter.

What got me banned was a post I made, which linked to a Forbes article criticizing the latest tax break attempting to get passed. It will allow a tax break to everyone who makes $150K or less. But where has that money been going? Social Security and Medicaid. Essentially, the governing administration knows that gutting these programs is unpopular, so they'll drain them of funding and call it a bonus. That's like saving funding for a hospital by cutting the electricity.

I posted a quote and a link from the article, was predictably downvoted for it, and I was done with it. Days later, the ban happened.

When I tried to contest the ban, I was muted for 28 days. For my innocuous comments in one subreddit, I was permanently banned from another.

This all happened today. Since the muting, I deleted my Reddit account and will not be going back.
