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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I mean the presence itself likely keeps moderators more honest that they might be on reddit. That isn't to say the modlog is designed perfectly (it isn't). But it's far better than what Reddit has (nothing).
If you’re using likely and might, it’s just rose coloured glasses.
The freedom is going to make those issues WORSE.
We are already seeing it with how users use the mod log and previous comments as gotchas while ignoring the content. Reddit dealt with those issues and even had automated systems of dealing with these issues.
I’ve seen more posts derailed than stay on topic here, the lack of moderation is its own issue as things stew before they get dealt with as well. Then the mod just nukes everything as it’s easier. If they even do.
It’s the worst of everything and it’s barely holding on. Maybe it’s partly the instance I’m on, but there’s lots of posts with similar gripes I’ve seen as well.
Public downvoting already negates the amount of downvotes here relative to reddit. I see no reason why the modlog doesn't also serve the same function, dissuading mods from blatant abuse that would tank their reputation and potentially get them removed as community owners.
I haven't noticed posts derailing off-topic anymore than I have on reddit.
What automated things did Reddit do here exactly in relation to the mod log?
