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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I think they did this to create a megathread for it. I dont think they have a function to move all comments from one post to another though.
Also, given how left leaning Reddit is nowadays (or maybe more accurately, how much Redditors hate Trump specifically), I would imagine there were probably a lot of comments that violated the rule about "don't wish death or harm on anyone else," which is honestly a rule that all humans should have the basic decency of applying to everything.
Reddit?! Left leaning?!?!
Not in the subs I used to frequent. The lemexodus seemed to turn the place into a right wing dumpster fire.
Yes!
r/politics is the exception.
But what’s left on reddit is usually far left russian propagnada surrogate subs, and centrist - far right content. The “social democratic left” demographic has severely shrunk.
i remember reddit was mostly pro lgbtq and stuff
...was...
In my experience, it took a step to the right after the Lemmy exodus.
oh, I remember hearing that before reddit was left reddit was right and i think it happened again
Fine, then offer a megathread, but to remove posts that people have already started back-and-forth comment chains on is an authoritian attempt to control the conversation.
I don't doubt that we'll see just a handful of new users on the Fediverse as a direct result of this.
Yeah I really hate that bullshit. megathreads always kill the discussion.
The purpose of social media is to discuss things, not disseminate information. That is Wikipedia, or news sites. Tbf Reddit got its start as a news aggregator service. But to halt already started conversations... that really sucks.:-(
Yeah especially for a story like this it deserves new threads every couple hours as new information comes out and a new thread is needed to discuss it. Putting it on a mega thread means any discussion about new information just gets buried.
I agree. Does Lemmy have any such rule, or is that instance specific? I've seen a lot of questionable comments on the political communities here.
There was a post saying it's too bad they missed, and I said "That's not the way," and got a mess of downvotes. People were arguing that me saying we shouldn't advocate for political assassination means that I'm enabling fascism. I don't even know what to say to that.
Lol isn't a step of fascism usually assassinating political opponents?
Why yes, yes it is
Yeah, I've seen comments about that as well. Thanks for calling them out - it is really important.
I was just over there by accident (not logged in) and yes they had the mega thread but literally every other post on that front page was about it. And many of them were not left leaning at all.
