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.

Lol at the sign-language interpreter, like Reddit gives half a shit about accessibility now.

[–] Paradox@lemdro.id 55 points 2 years ago

Sign language yes, real time captions no. Only whatever live transcription crap your phone or computer could do

I recognize that guy. He was a moderator of the r/jailbait subreddit for the many, many years it was hosted on Reddit.com.

Of the three people involved in Reddit's creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit's greater vision.

Swartz was a far better person.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those are always the guys that wrest control though. They have no contributions, so instead they spend their time scheming.

Oh so now they don't like ads

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

Only ads that serve them are allowed

I’m sure their next “Reddit Event” will not have a real time chat.

[–] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 34 points 2 years ago

I bet you are right lol

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 87 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Aww, you hurt their delicate fee-fees! How mean! /s

Also, lol at that pathetic sycophant's reply below your comment. Dude needs to stop twerking for spez.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who is that comment even aimed at? Being that it is right under OP's comment in (what I presume to be) a busy chat, I doubt it is a response to OP.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Good point.

[–] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 36 points 2 years ago

There were many like that, lol!

Reddit has become Facebook with a different management team. These people are motivated by profit and that's the only way their decisions make any kind of sense. Whenever we mix the profit motive with a service for people, the people will always play second fiddle. It's why mixing profit with healthcare is inhumane and it's what's so great about Wikipedia.

So...what exactly was this event? Was it like a AMA? Or was it like one of those corporate circle jerk things where everyone says what they are supposed to say?

[–] muse@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a difference between the latter and a typical spez ama?

I got banned because I said "lemmy dot world" in reply to someone who said they wished reddit had an alternative.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Yeah redditors can do that too, it would probably look somewhat like this:
Come to reddit, we have CEO who's an idiot but controls everything, a 100% closed API unless you pay exorbitant prices to use it, and we have advertisements everywhere, but WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY. So please come. We also have sociophants and trolls.

We must all remember spez’ has an abnormal love of cats, among his other issues. Like keeping slaves and resource hoarding. https://i.imgur.com/a0F2bW6.png

If he doesn't want to accept dissenting opinions, he should do like Mr. Burns and only allow prefabricated text.

My lifetime ban from Reddit (which resulted from saying that we need a more progressive political candidates in our country) was a badge of honor, proving my opinions to be correct and undigestible to fascists. So I had a medallion engraved with my date of expulsion which I keep in a place of honor over my fireplace.

My permaban was for saying it is a moral obligation to punch nazis lmao

Don't forget, he used to moderate r/jailbait.

Screw Reddit and spez. You did well, OP!

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Spez has like a bunch of fore written answers and then tries to fit them in the questions asked

-TitusRex, hero, probably banned now as well

lmao

He did a talk and Q&A in England awhile back at I believe Oxford and he kept checking his watch, it just seemed rude.

I hadn't thought about it until now but what do redditors who didn't migrate say about us? I'm really curious now but I don't want to look. I've only been on the site a couple times since the blackout and they were for specific reasons * I don't want to ruin my streak * . Does anyone here use both regularly?

*Edit

[–] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

From the place I still use as they didn't move, I haven't seen a single mentioning of Lemmy, fedivers, black out or anything close. Makes sense as those communities didn't even try moving.

In one of the subs I did notice a quality decline and it moving a bit from, people talking about shared experiences with a medical condition, to being babys first experience with medical condition, but it has moved back even so slightly, but the average age seems to have gone down.

The other one for a game. I can proudly say is just as low quality as before, but I stick around to give tech support, even if it of the absolute most basic nature sometimes, and keep up with updates, bugs and community fixes.
