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.

Last night, I finally made the switch from Reddit to Lemmy. Honestly it was something I should have done a long time ago. I’d been hearing about Lemmy for a while, but I kept brushing it off because it seemed complicated or too niche or too techy. But after one too many encounters with power-hungry mods, desperate upvote chasers, and a flood of obvious bots, I hit my breaking point. I actually ended up learning more about Lemmy from people venting on Reddit itself, which was kind of ironic!!

I set up an account here, took a last look around Reddit, and bailed. Reddit used to feel like a genuine community, but now it's just a money-hungry platform, clearly trying to squeeze out every dollar as it spirals down. Lemmy might be new to me, but at least here, it feels like voices still matter. I know you guys already know this, but I want to throw it out there: You all are right!

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.

Welcome to the better side. Feel free to get started by checking out your communities on here, post some content to those communities and they will get engagement. If your community isn't here, start it. It's a smaller community around here so it will probably get seen.

Edit: oh boy you seem to be uploading a bit of politics there...

Edit 2: I kindly ask you to fuck off if you support the orange rapist

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I was going to say that the lil dude just got here, and should probably just shred the reddit trolling-for-karma mentality ... then I saw their posting history. Maybe they'll get the message when all their posts are below -80.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 hours ago

Go back! We were better off without you here spreading dictator bullshit all over the walls.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 hours ago

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:

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

Done forget Reddit now run by donkey (admin) keep banning people without any reason. It is a garbage platform.

[–] [email protected] 100 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

Welcome to lemmy.

*Sees your posts

Lmao, blocked.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

GotDAMN, that's the fastest preemptive block I've ever made here. Thanks for pointing that out.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 12 hours ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

There's a Donnie fetish fed and yes it is what you would expect

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.

Oh boy... Who's gonna tell them?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He's doing the same thing right now in his Trump cult sub anyway. Incredible lack of self awareness

[–] [email protected] 25 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

lol I'm sure as a Trumpanzee he's gonna have a good time in the Fediverse.
