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.

Reddit now has to be on the lookout for AI-generated comments and posts infiltrating its site. It’s an important thing for the platform to stay on top of, says Slowe: Reddit’s key benefit is that you can trust that a lot of what’s written on it is written by humans, and AI spam could erode that.

That ship sailed long ago.

“At the end of the day, we aren’t a charity,” Slowe says. Reddit wants to provide a service that people can use for free, “but don’t build your business on our back and expect us not to try and defend ourselves.”

The fucking nerve.

The users aren't a charity either.

Ironic given that Reddit founders would post under multiple aliases in the early days to make it seem like the site had more users than it did.

reddit wants what Facebook has, AI generated content, and aggressive right wing propaganda which drives republicans and hate-users(counter to republicans) to the site.

they did a disservice by banning IRL users, and not actuall botters, it tells us that bots are half of thier accounts.

Don't forget to backup your subscriptions and blocks before lemm.ee shuts down at the end of June!

Bots were the number one reason I gave up reddit.

Only 20???? It feels older

I'd honestly say that with what I know about history and technology and the concept of web 1.0 I feel like reddit is at least older than me (I'm 26)

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

i dint even know reddit existed til 2014ish.

I look forward to when the jannies are out and it's a horrible AI auto mod instead.

That ai search seems like a good feature - I never could find anything on reddit.

I even have some sympathy for them not wanting our freely given content to be freely given to others … no I don’t, and it’s a shame they couldn’t have handled that differently. Too little too late
