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.

MODERATORS
That or the responses get incredibly hostile. Which is honestly no different here on Lemmy.
Leaving Reddit for Lemmy is kinda like leaving one job for another. Its got the same problems, just a different flavor. I miss how Lemmy was like from 2 months ago.
I was thinking the same thing, that recently the tone around here has gotten more disagreeable. It might be something bigger going on, though. There is an old-style forum I visit that was quite pleasant for years, but lately I’ve been seeing surprisingly nasty comments there.
Without moderation to enforce basic netiquette, a forum will eventually become unpleasant mess. Some people would posts rude comments and insulting other posters. Some other members would see that behavior being tolerated and do it themselves. More members see the increase of unpleasant comments and decided to leave. Before long, the forum ended up as a toxic cesspool. This is currently happening in lemmy. I sometimes need to remind people to stop doing this and it seems to be working 50% of the time. Normal people will realize they're being unpleasant when you point it out, while the trolls will keep on trolling.
Yeah, the forum I mentioned has pretty heavy moderation, so I could have just happened to see a few comments before they were deleted.
