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.

it is time. a month away from my reddit account has proven I don't have any desire to return. Damn Spez, way to shoot yourself in the face you fucking bellend.
Don't know what you mean. I don't have hard statistics but it seems pretty apparent that Reddit weathered the storm well, just as he said they would.
Sure, some users got very angry with Spez and Reddit but ultimately didn't go anywhere. They continue to complain about Reddit on Reddit.
Sure, some users left entirely but I'm certain many many more chose to subject themselves to the data-mining, ads, and pop-up notifications in the official app, thereby continuing to contribute to increasing Reddit's value.
If Twitter has taught us anything, it's that once you've built a sufficient userbase, there's almost nothing they won't tolerate.
did I say I had hard statistics saying Reddit was going down?
No, no I didn't, but you imagined that and just ran with a few paragraphs retorting it lol.
he's lost thousands of mods. you know, the idiots (like me) who did exceptional amounts of free labor, keeping the place clean and fun. you can already see the effect in multiple subs, the spammers are back in force.
that's how he's shot himself in the face. They're never going to go back after this shit, and now that lemmy exists, people are moving on to the better alternative.
LOL, oh yeah, Twitter's doing great. How's that advertising working for 'em?

Please, don't reply to something you're making up in your head in response.
bwahahahaha all the new rising posts on reddit are crypto scams. https://lemm.ee/post/6038434
that's working out great for spezzo
...did I say you did?
Pot meet kettle.
What does advertising have to do with the number of people on the platform?
silly me, I didn't know how accurate your username was. gonna block this idiotic discourse because you either can't or won't read, or are just shitposting.
More like blocking me because of what a giant buffoon you've made of yourself
