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.

Very honorable of them to leave up all the 'fuck spez' (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to transition off of reddit completely and I dislike what they have done. But that being said, I thought it was quite honorable of them to not censor the 'fuck spez', be it comments throughout the site or on /r/Place. They even left the giant fuck spez ending in the official time lapse of /r/Place and the highest ranked post is a screen shot of the same.

They have many reasonable sounding excuses available to censor excessive use of the word 'fuck', and I don't see how they benefit by leaving it up there. It's not like censoring swear words is beyond the pale compared to other things they have done. They didn't even need to do /r/Place, they knew full well what was going to happen but they did it anyways.

I know many people think this is some 4D chess move or a fear of the Streisand effect. They are not that clever.

I just wanted to point out that it does in fact look like they have a line that they won't cross and they are holding to it.

Also, fuck spez.

It's more of a cliche, I don't think anyone actually does it, but it shows up in those cropped images of tweets people post on reddit. Downvotes should show right next to the upvotes (at least, on desktop). Is a nice feature to show both, so if it's like, negative 1, you can see, Oh it's actually negative 10 and positive 9, that is like 50% dislike ratio. Feels a lot better knowing its a split crowd.
