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.

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.

MODERATORS
Me too. What district?Is it a senatpr? I'm drowning in hopelessness over here.
I am not, haha, sorry. That was just my hypothetical response.
Reddit is so wild now, man. I got a three day site-wide ban for commenting on a LAMF thread about Mitch McConnell not liking the direction of the Republican party now even though he was one of the architects. My comment agreed. Apparently I was harassing Mitch McConnell.
Why can a mod in one subreddit ban someone from the whole site?
Wow we can't even criticize our politicians anymore? Land of the free, my ass. And fuck reddit, toxic wasteland.
Wow what a cunt of a mod
All Reddit mods are cunts. No exceptions.
Obligatory fuck reddit comment
Haven't been to Tennessee, I went to Louisville Kentucky, I hated it there. It was like going back in time, all white people in suits, the only black person was homeless. The homeless guy was moving place to place so shop owners wouldn't have time to harass him. Nothing like a fancy meal in a high class restaurant full of well off white dudes and a homeless black guy outside the window.
Reddit mod moment ☕
From
The start page of the internet
To:
this tiny little corner on the internet
Reddit sure has come far
At one point it was a glorious place. Then 5 people became admins and mods of the most popular 100 sub reddits and began controlling the narrative to fit their beliefs. In my opinion reddit has been dead for at least 5 years now
Front page, I believe was what they called themselves. But yeah, it's been a glorious fall.

Lmao reddit mods love sucking nazi cock
They got rid of all of us mods who didn't bow and kiss the ring and the star.
Now all that's left is the worst of the mods.
Fuck reddit, and fuck censorship.
Lets be clear though, reddit is only worse than lemmy because it is centralized by one group of douchebags.
Lemmy has plenty of shitty moderation too, and arguably is worse at dealing with it within any given instance due to the lack of proper mod tools, the way posts that are deleted remove entire comment sections from being accessible, the lack of any appeals system and I'm sure a few other things I don't remember off the top of my head.
Its a people problem, and its a style of organization problem with this style of forum.
reddit is only worse than lemmy because it is centralized by one group of douchebags
That's a really big distinguishing factor though. When a group gets "too big to fail," it becomes a problem by giving said group too much control. Look at the genocide apologist mods on /r/worldnews .
The de-centralization / fragmentation of Lemmy is an important check against bad moderation.

The mod of a fascist sub about a fascist state of a fascist country on a fascist website is behaving like fascist? I’m shocked.

I've checked the Tennessee subreddit and it doesn't seem very active. The first post is 17h old and about the special election. The news article that was posted, is not positive for the republican party. The reddit comments are overwhelmingly against Van Epps. The post itself was posted by a mod. https://old.reddit.com/r/Tennessee/comments/1pajj2w/tennessee_congressional_race_becomes_unlikely/
This doesn't look like a rightwing echo chamber to me. Maybe the outsider that was calling for action, was removed because they take their rule about removing agitators seriously. Imo there may still be a problem of too strict modding, because of how inactive the subreddit looks.
No outside political agitators (This is a broad one, but if we look at your post history and all you do is spam geographical subs stirring the political cauldron we will remove your post and ban you from this sub)
The lesson on Reddit (if you still use that platform) is to hide your history. I'm guessing they used this rule for the ban. Bans from subs should exclusively be for content posted on that sub. If something is bad enough to warrant a sitewide ban, that is another matter.
Anyhow, there are is another post about the election: https://old.reddit.com/r/Tennessee/comments/1p36q6s/millions_pour_into_tennessee_special_election/
That history can be made visible on the new layout with the complicated hack of going to the profile page, and using the search bar to search for a space or an asterisk.
Lol, what a garbage site. They have so many different layouts and versions of the site that I'm not surprised they fucked up on (at least) one of them.
The more complicated you make something, the more room you are giving yourself to fuck up.
So better lesson on Reddit: just don't bother with it.

Tennessean here who tried to organize on my state/city subreddits. Can confirm this kind of partisan censorship is not new.
A while ago I made a innocuous enough post on my city's sub about a "Release the Epstein Files" billboard that went up and was paid for by our local Mobilize chapter. Within an hour it was the most upvoted post of the past month. Within 2, it was removed without reason and I was blocked and banned permantly
That’s Reddit, I was banned from a Pokemon Go subreddit for being against Niantic forcibly leaving their sandbox environment on iOS.

I mean, Tennessee is as red as you can get. Except maybe Nashville.
Memphis checking in....
What a power-tripping little dick energy cunt. God I fucking hate reddit.
That is why Lemmy exists. And I hope that even more people will start using it since new harsh Reddit policies have appeared.
Lemmy has power tripping bastards too. it's just usually more transparent.

We MUST Protect Jeffrey Epstein!
-Republicans!
A person in Tennessee defending pedophiles and abusing power in that pursuit?
Shocked, shocked I tell you.
And what about /c/Tennessee on here?
Wow. Just fucking wow.
Does Facebook and X do similar types of censoring when it comes to the Republican agenda?
Or is it somehow easier to install them as mods on Reddit subs, making it appear to be more “grass roots” without blaming the platform itself for censorship and bias?
I guess of fb you have “groups” (as opposed to subs) where you could install similar “mods.”

This is why Reddit is garbage and anyone that still has an account on there is only fueling the fire. Fuck Reddit and their mods
Reddit's glory days were when it was big enough to have consistently interesting stuff, especially in the niche subs, but not so big that bad actors (corporatization, foreign influence, domestic partisan bots, hate groups) could enshitify it. Now it's practically unusable.

Abandon Reddit and leave it as a Government of Putin cesspool filled with Russian shills. If the Volunteer Oblast votes for Van Epstein, fuck them too for protecting pedophiles, rapists and felons.
Basically all the local subreddits have right-wing mods and a cadre of incels that try to drive the conversation constantly towards minorities who commit crimes
