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.

Screenshots of reddit.com/r/all on mobile as it appeared immediately after loading (did not scroll), taken at 12:34 and 12:40 PST; look what suddenly disappeared from the #1 post spot! That's a rather specific "server error"...

I happened to take the first screenshot (12:34) because I thought it was suspicious enough that they were suddenly dealing with an unspecified "error" right as bad news about the site hit the top of r/all. Then a few minutes later (~12:38) the site didn't load at all. A few minutes after that, the bad press post is gone from r/all. If you go to the post now (https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1jl6smd/elon_musk_pressured_reddits_ceo_on_content/), it says "Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/politics" (marked as "off-topic").

Edit: I mistakenly thought the post was about the comics in the screenshot, my bad.

Your post got removed probably because it presumably violated Rule 14 of the subreddit on their disallowed submission types.

"Disallowed submission types

/r/Politics is a serious political discussion forum. To facilitate that type of discussion, all submissions must be articles, videos or sound clips. The following are also disallowed:

Satire or humor pieces. These submissions are better suited to /r/PoliticalHumor. Political cartoons can be posted in the Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread.

Links that solicit users (Active petitions, signature campaigns, requests for money, surveys or polls).

Submissions that are user-generated content without editorial oversight (ex: C-SPAN clips, selfposts/textposts, reddit polls, any submissions with user created text)

Political advertisements as submissions. Advertisers should buy ad space on reddit.com if they wish to advertise on Reddit.

Submissions which are entirely a copy-paste of the original reporting, or that add one paragraph or less, with a "read more at" link to the original content. Articles or videos that add another take on a subject, or include different verbiage or context are otherwise allowed.

Live blogs/live threads/live articles"

That server error also happens occasionally on their app for basically no reason. It's not due to any post, I sometimes become unable to see my profile for like a minute before it goes back to normal.

I get and don't disagree that Reddit is pretty fucking shitty, but not everything has to be or is attributed to some sort of conspiracy on how everything is getting censored because of blah blah whatever. Oh, and breaking a subreddit's rules and getting your post removed or banned for it isn't censorship (waaaaaaaay too many people do this istg).

Defend that shitpile all you'd like, I'm never going back.

[–] ResolverOshawott@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

I'm not telling anyone to go back, buddy. I'm explaining the reasons why this and that happened. That it's not all due to some conspiracy b.s about censorship whatever.

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 1 points 4 days ago

Are you saying that the Verge is not a news website? Because I’m pretty sure that the removed post was a link to a perfectly good article.

[–] ResolverOshawott@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I thought the post talking about the comics.
