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.

Reddit is so very confused.. (lemmy.world)

So yesterday I received a 7-day ban for 'encouraging violence', for saying that Luigi Mangione did not deserve to go to jail. It was obviously bullshit, somebody got a little hair-trigger on the new directive from ~~Der Fuhrer~~ spez or something, so I appealed. That appeal was reviewed and the temp ban lifted and the 'offending' comment restored, but 11 hours prior to that I got another message that I had been perma-banned for violating Reddit's rules with my 'other account(s)'. Well that's also bullshit because I've had exactly one (1) account in the 14 years I've been on reddit, so I appealed that too, and thus we get to the cherry on top: I am no longer banned, I can post and such again, but they sent me the above message saying that my appeal had been denied and that the perma-ban was staying in place. But rather than linger in reddit limbo, I think I'm gonna switch permanently to lemmy. 14 years worth of curating subs will suck to redo, but oh well, life is change.

I got a 3 day sitewide suspension, and (very surprisingly) a permaban from /r/fuckthealtright for calling a story about an Infowars employee getting murdered "uplifting."

These companies are revealing their true colors now that they think it's acceptable to do so.

13 year account here, also banned for supporting Luigi. I tried to appeal, but the post had already been removed so I didn't know what exactly I said that violated the rules, and my appeal was denied. This was a post I made back in December, mind you. They went looking for a reason to ban a Luigi supporter. They did homework.

Somebody over there is really afraid of how popular Luigi's actions are. I wonder why...

They're trying to turn it into a right wing echo chamber.

Please feel free to create the communities you find are missing still! Things are smaller and slower here, but that means that even in the popular threads, people will actually see and read your comments rather than them disappearing in an ocean of bots or (DELETED).

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If I come across something I can't find here I will certainly do that.

Reddit is a bot-infested hellscape. I got so mad when I learned that most AITAH posts and popular sub posts were just karma farmers preying on our attention. Lemmy seems to offer some relief. Happy to be here :)

I dumped Reddit over the weekend.

They may all go to hell, and I will go to Lemmy.

Got my badge of honor today. Reddit are bootlickers.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I got my badge of honor during the API purge, when I mass edited all of my old comments before deleting them. It’s a little more quiet here, but it honestly reminds me of the early Reddit days. If you tag users, you’ll start to see just how small of a community it actually is; I see my tags all over the place in nearly every comment section.

If you haven’t done so, consider looking into the various apps. Voyager (sometimes called Wefwef by the older users) is a sort of spiritual successor to Apollo. So if you’re an old Apollo user, you’ll likely feel right at home.

[–] cavtroop@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

wait, how do i tag users? that could be supremely useful

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It’s not something Lemmy natively supports, but (a lot like Reddit Enhancement Suite) the various apps should allow you to do so. For instance, on Voyager, you can do it via the options menu on the user’s profile.

same here. fucking bootlickers.

Permabanned for "glorifying or inciting violence" by replying to a post about Elon Musk under a dinosaur poop meme, where someone asked "what should the would richest man do?" with "he should eat shit and die".

Here for good.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Much wow, such violence. Ban deserved, imo, yep. Fuck Reddit.

In a Yogscast TTT video some years back, Rythian used 'Green Mario' as a joking name for Bouphe, who was using the Luigi player model at the time.

For those who want to undermine reddit's power trip, I propose Green Mario as the first stick in their knee-bending attitude.

Curating subs? I see it as more of "creating my own bubble". Lemmy is a good way to kinda expose myself to other stuff for a change and not just the reddit hive mind.

I mean, how many times have you opened a post and knew what the top 3 comments would be??

[–] cabinet_sanchez@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've seen one person respond to something here with simply "this is the way," and the flashbacks were real

[–] SmokeytheBeard1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Getting annoyed just reading that in quote form. The obsession with "I think you should leave" is getting too much too. I love that show and they're making me like it less by constantly referencing it.

Yeah, I was on Reddit for over a decade. And the changes especially in these past couple years have been so dramatic. I received a seven day band today for like the third time and finally deleted the app and here I am . No looking back.

Welcome reddit refugee!! Best time to ditch reddit was in july 2023 second best time is now

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What happened in July 2023? Was that the APIpocalypse? That didn't really affect me cause I barely use mobile.

I’m here because r/pics bots are assholes and mods don’t reply to asking why they banned you, the auto ban says I was banned because at some point in my many years I commented on a subreddit they didn’t like. I carried on just fine, but when I was browsing one day with a different account I commented on another r/pics post and now both accounts are banned for 7 days for ban evasion. The bots still never told me what to do about it to fix it and they denied my appeal, so fuck em.

Deleted that app, and all my other social media apps, Facebook, instagram, x, Reddit, threads, etc. im tired of arguing with all the bots. But I need something to still be able to scroll, so here I am.
