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.

That's what I did when they banned 3rd party APIs. I remember when Reddit was great, but I have no interest in the sewer it has turned into.
Sometimes I spelunk for information, but I haven't contributed in years.
Unfortunatly its considered a primary source for Google, correct or not. Some parts of it still catalog relavent answers and help, but its more machine now than man, all twisted and evil.
Basically my feelings as well. I have been trying out noai.duckduckgo and it's okay.
Duckduckgo annoys me, using Brave and it search engine isn't too bad.
And that's why I said it was okay. I feel like it's slightly better than Yahoo ever was, but it seems to beat around the bush on technical answers.
Maybe I'm spoiled and I have lost my edge.
Love when the Google AI pulls an answer from reddit that was bro clearly a dry, sarcastic joke and presents it as the correct answer.
you can still use reddit, just don't comment on it. I run my own libreddit instance or use safereddit. problem solved.
These leopards look so friendly. They will never eat my face I bet
Yeah, Reddit sucks actually
That's ironic, because this post was written by a LLM. The edits are human but the bulk of the initial post is LLM text.
Reddit makes you think that you're out of the loop if you stop using it. You're not, you're just out of their controlled loop. Come towards the light and leave that darkness behind. Piefed looks like a good platform as well.
I understand why you consider this problematic and I agree that, being such a massive platform, it worsens society as a whole. I also believe that the best thing you can do as an individual is to stop creating content on a platform like this, don't participate; make your comments and contributions here or on another site where you feel comfortable and that they treat you like a human being and not like a lemon to be squeezed.
When you create content, contributions, or comments, you add value to the platform. One single contribution might not generate much, but if more and more people leave, Reddit will become less and less useful while the rest win
My “offense” was sharing a news article about X unmasking fake Gaza influencer accounts... Bot saw “participated in subreddit on our list” and executed.
Well what was the article? Where did you post it? Which subreddit?
I searched for this story and it's just a bunch of fascist bullshit.
It's worse than just your garbage "opinion". It's pro-genocide disinformation.
Real bots or NPC humans? Does it matter? Reddit is astroturf and narrative crafting central. It's Pravda for zillennials
