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.

MODERATORS
Basically yes. The alternatives passively become better simply because of the mainstream option becoming worse over time. I think it's still going too slowly in general but I'm not complaining, better slow than not at all.
Better slow than too fast too. Lemmy feels like a nice fairly small community. I'm not sure that'll continue once it's the size of Reddit. We'll get more content and niche communities will be better served though, so there's pros and cons.

Watch this: Luigi is a hero
Just made an account here ten minutes ago. The format feels weird but it’s nice to be able to continue talking like sensible people without getting banned for it. Feels good, man.
Check out lemmyapps.com for different apps and webUIs. There is even sm old reddit style clone like old.lemmy.world for example.
Happy you could join! You'll find that not only are bans much more reasonable, but conversations are frequently downright pleasant. Aditionally, there are communities built just for calling out mods that abuse power or are heavily biased. The system here is working much better from a user perspective.

.world mods would be very upset if we didn't bully them into submission 😔

Having not been using this place as regularly for the last couple of weeks, it definitely looks like there's more upvotes on posts now in general compared to when I started up here about two months ago. Even just before this latest Reddit fuck up, it looks a lot to me like there's been a steady influx lately. Like suddenly noticing that the grass has got longer.
Welcome back!
Haha thanks! I've been lurking a fair amount. Just a little more distracted currently.
When I made my Lemmy account (the day reddit put a paywall on the API) most posts didn't even have comments (sorting by hot/popular). And it would be common to run out of new posts after a bit of scrolling. Now it looks about the same level of activity as reddit 10-something years ago.

Oh yeah, I've only been on Lemmy a few months but I've noticed it. I was one baby face emoji (is that just a Voyager thing?) in a sea of old accounts, but recently I've been seeing more and more of those baby emojis

I'm an exodusee as well, just a minnow at this point.
I just got sick of the right wing bullshit, the censorship, the shills, the morons, the bootlickers...
Hello all
Right here with you. Posted a brief goodbye on my sub and jumped over here. Luigi.

We're witnessing the second reddit wave now, just like we always knew it would come eventually when reddit crossed another enshitification threshold.
Welcome all!

Reddit full bore banned me for saying "I should have a legal right to punch nazis" and declined my appeal.
Reddit is unironically nazi aligned and that's not a joke it's terrifying.

Mods remove a post from /r/worldnews about Musk pushing for the US to leave NATO because it’s “not the appropriate subreddit”…? Excuse me, what the fuck???

I got a warning for upvoting too much violent content. I know it’s bullshit. I contributed regarding economics but nothing violent.
Done with Reddit.
Never got my wrist slapped. But enforcing votes is beyond the pale.
Dipped my toes into lemmy during the last exodus (2023?) but I'm done posting to reddit forever now.

Absolutely. I'm here after a decade+ over there.
I've been here since they killed third-party apps. I regret nothing, this place is my home now.

The thought police have been running roughshod over us since the Orange Idiot took over. You know what that means.
Hello folks! Found out I was banned this morning and spent all day trying to figure out an alternative. All for liking a post that said Trump raped a girl. Oh well. He did rape a girl so wtf?

I came from reddit due to overt censorship, so yeah. I hope this place gets more populated, reddit definitely has the userbase advantage for now.
I've been here for a while now. The userbase can be seen as an advantage, but it's also a negative. Things move so fast in reddit and everyone is just passing by each other. You can have actual conversations here though. It feels more communal.
I want more users so niche communities can thrive, but I'm also worried about it becoming too much like Reddit has been for a while now.

It's why I'm here. 12 year member, nearly a million in karma, perma-banned for repeating a statement I'd made many times in the past with no repercussions. The first time I repeated it after HitlerPig stole the election, I was fully banned.
It's happening because Ohanion wants to buy TikTok, and he knows HitlerPig will be personally making the decision, based on who smooched his ass the most, and who paid the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he's volunteering to make Reddit a member of the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I hope Reddit goes the way of Digg.

Permabanned after nearly 12 years. Forgive me for hating Nazi's. I'd made the statement fuck all Nazi's but six several times but this time was this time I got automod flagged. They are pretty much flagging the word Nazi regardless of context or overall statements made. The same goes for the word Luigi. Also, Karma is basically useless considering downvoting too much can also lead to a ban. It is pretty ridiculous. I'd never been banned once for any reason except for the last 6 months where I've been sub banned or gotten 3-7 day bans several times for making points about the sorry state of affairs in America lately. Forgive me for not bowing to kiss the fascist MAGA ring. Reddit has really put profits over people this time with these stupid rules and no real care in reading appeals or looking at context during moderation. It is all for their bottom line and oligarch investors now.
Interesting. My 10 year old account also got perma banned for telling someone defending the third Nazi salute to "go to hell".
Apparently I should have told them to "go fuck themselves". But telling them to "go to hell" was inciting violence or whatever.

today / last night he confidentley stated that the X cyberattack was "traced" to Ukraine.
he's just another head of the hydra, the hydra being the transnational crime syndicate that masquerades as the US, Russian, and other governments.
This feels very much like the migration from tiktok to rednote. Hi everyone.

I've had a few of my "check out lemmy.ca" posts deleted there and frankly I don't see how it breaks reddit TOS. They're just bitter.
Oh no there goes the neighbourhood!
Just kidding, welcome refugees!
Why was OP banned?
Great introduction to Lemmy, might as well teach people we're no better than reddit
Fucking disgusting internet janitors

Ok, remove all military bases from those countries and expel all American soldiers and diplomats. No more sharing intelligence with the u.s, they’re compromised anyways
To me, getting banned from Reddit (without being a dick) it's a medal of honor. Guess I'll have to try harder...
Not too hard anymore. Say Luigi or upvote Luigi a day you're getting the ban hammer.
