I don't know if Lemmy's the future, but even if it's not, Reddit's the past. This place seems like the best bet at being the future right now.
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.
Not all of us are hard-line tankies but you'll find no one likes the orange Nazi here. You've had almost 10 years to figure out the man's a danger to the social fabric of this country and the geopolitical stability of the world at large. Please just leave and take your poisonous opinions with you.
For someone who has barely got here you appear to be a prolific poster if offensive subject matter.
Can I suggest you head back to reddit
Go back! We were better off without you here spreading dictator bullshit all over the walls.
Normally I welcome people with different opinions, but I truly believe that people still following Trump are absolutely in the wrong. He is a foul, broken, weird human, and his goals are to fuck up all of our lives (yes, yours too) so that he and a dozen others can have money and power. This is as clear, proven, and obvious as it is reading the history books about prior dictators, so I have zero sympathy or respect for seemingly intelligent people who still support him.
So uh, welcome I guess, you do you, but I don't think we are gonna be your crowd.
Well, welcome to Lemmy! I don't think you're going to make a whole lot of friends around here based on your comment history.. but I'm glad for you that you left that crap factory. I've been here for a little over a year now, no regrets.
FYI - your mod history of banning people left and right and not being able to take the slightest criticism of the Orange Shit Flinging Gibbon is why you got banned from Politics:
Done forget Reddit now run by donkey (admin) keep banning people without any reason. It is a garbage platform.
Welcome to lemmy.
*Sees your posts
Lmao, blocked.
GotDAMN, that's the fastest preemptive block I've ever made here. Thanks for pointing that out.
Oof. Thanks for pointing that out.
Just wanted to let you know you're wrong, and that your fetish for fascist father figures will only result in you consistently disappointing everyone around you. Your ideology is backwards and antithetical to basic empathy. Welcome to Lemmy.
Welcome! Don't feel shy to check out other instances than .ml or .world. Like dbzero, solarpunk and many more.
The new Donald? Fuck off
The guy you like praises Hitler for fucks sake. Wake up.
Replied to the top comment here just so others know what they're getting into with @I Voted For Goldwater
OP started a Lemmy Community with, I'll say, a divisive subject. I did ask for clarification on their position:
I never once insulted them, only asked for more information on their position. This went on cordially for 4 or 5 exchanges, and then I returned and found this:
I wonder if Lemmy.world is interested in supporting a community that actually isn't interested in any posts from Lemmy.world users.
If you choose to engage with @I Voted For Goldwater, you should expect the same.
"Views were discussed in the post?" I'm a bit lost here
But after one too many encounters with power-hungry mods
Oh boy... Who's gonna tell them?
He's doing the same thing right now in his Trump cult sub anyway. Incredible lack of self awareness
lol I'm sure as a Trumpanzee he's gonna have a good time in the Fediverse.
I'm somewhat looking forward to seeing the outcome when the resident tankies come across this guy. It's going to be an entertaining shitshow.
They'll just bond over hating libs.
Hmmm... I mean, you won't fit in with Lemmy proper any more than Reddit proper (perhaps worse, lol), but it raises a question to other lemmings: are there any conservative instances?
I'm torn, as on the one hand I'd prefer you not have an echo chamber, but on the other hand I'd like to see Lemmy prosper. There's a reason instances defederate from one another, and radical idiology is one. Look at Hexbear for an example.
Btw, Lemmy was created by genuine communists (not the hyperbole ones, I mean actual ones) and run the Lemmy.ml instance. While it's FOSS and therefore plenty of others have run and moderate their own instances, keep in mind that's our starting point.
Yeah man the apps are tight and I still get the most important news. The community is the kinda weirdos I like - Linux nerds, oss purists, cutting edge. I haven't missed reddit in the last ~year of lemmy
I just don't get why people want to use social media for relentlessly spreading and talking about news or politics. I go online to escape reality / normies and their endless petty rage and negativity and self loathing. Is nowhere sacred?!
