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.

My permaban was for saying it is a moral obligation to punch nazis lmao
Mine was for saying that Nazi’s were a part in a war from 70 years ago, and that they should be dead now.
Mine was for "report abuse" for reporting misinformation in r/conservative.
Ayy I got one of those for that dumbass antivax subreddit lol
I am convinced there is no human behind the suspensions and the moderators reporting those who report will have you banned irrespective of merit. Such a nice environment
Well of course spez was gonna take that personally haha
Being banned from somewhere doesn't prove you right or wrong. It just means those particular people are angry at you, rightfully or not.
Just a subtle reminder because fascists and nazis themselves regularly use such kinds of phrases. Doesn't make them any more right or honorable.
Do what is right, and always strive for freedom, and you'll be good :)
Not really. If you say Hitler was right, or any of the myriad of other terrible statements you could make, and you get permabanned for it, you're still wrong.
You miss the important part.
You ARE right, and you should fight for the truth, and not bow to anyone, but the mere fact that you were banned isn't proof of anything.
People calling for genocide get banned. Outright nazis get banned, even while they try to move the gate. Many terrible people do get banned. Doesn't make them any more right. One can just be too stubborn to make reasoning impossible.
"I was banned thereby I'm right" is a very dangerous idea that often fuels your - and our - enemies and blinds them to the reason. It serves nothing but radicalization, for the right or, very often, for the wrong.
Saying those things validates the ideas that end up turning against you - and against the reason and the truth.
For Reddit fascists, you are banned because of being horribly wrong.
It's very easy to say "they were banned for being wrong, I was banned for being right", but ain't that double standard?
You were banned not for being right, but for saying something that fell out of Reddit guidelines - which can be skewed and fucked up, but it wasn't you being a messiah and them trying to cover everyone from the truth and light you're spreading.
