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.

MODERATORS
wouldn't discussions have to move elsewhere?
But they can delete any duplicate posts in their own sub to prevent comments.

Because "y'all can't behave"
Eh, as a former Reddit mod, when the majority of comments are racism/transphobia, the easiest way to handle it is to lock the post.
Yeah, it’s kinda laziness, but when you have a life and don’t want to babysit a post for the next day… you don’t really have many options.
I guess one option could be don’t make a commitment you don’t have time to fulfill.
Let the voting system do its job of crowdsourcing the suppression of unhelpful content.
When I was on reddit it was just a fact that there’d be a pile of trash accumulated at the bottom of each thread, made of comments that were stupid or toxic and collapsed because their score was negative. That layer of shit at the bottom was well-hidden and didn’t interfere with the productive discussion happening above.
The voting system to suppress content suppresses reasonable views and ends up with highly upvoted nazi shit. Not because everyone is a Nazi (arguable) but because nazis have a motivation to push an agenda.

Yeeeeah… uh, the problem is that the community I was moderating was formerly pretty unmoderated. A loooot of racist and transphobic shit got upvoted.
“Letting the votes handle it” also doesn’t stop Reddit from seeing reports go unresolved, and action against the sub.
I get where your coming from, but you’re essentially saying “let the racism run rampant if you don’t have the time to manually review every comment on a post, you should have dedicated a few hours of your work day to this.”

To censor the lazy?
Don't get so haughty. Lemmy.world (based on the Netherlands) deletes posts and bans users that mention support for Luigi.
Earlier today I replied to a post on Lemmy.world about this problem, saw my post had many up votes and replied. But I couldn't respond to any of them because the post had been deleted by mods.
You are currently in a lemmy.world community. So was this post: https://lemmy.world/post/23467383
Lemmy.world has an issue with mods censoring totally legal conversations.
It's a problem going on right now

.world mods and admins are infamous for being as bad as the ones on reddit, yes.
Reasonable instances should probably have defederated that cesspool long ago, but it's probably too big, sadly.

First off: Fuck reddit Fuck spez. Second and more important: All he needs is 1 person to agree. 1, that's it.
And former moderator of r/jailbait, a Reddit community dedicated to posting pictures of underage girls. Don't forget it

Because you can't tell if it's locked until you open it and give up several ad hits.

To set the narrative, of course. Reddit made a big showing last year of putting their own choice mods on communities and is now beholden to Wall Street since the IPO
Same reason they nerfed the algorithm to change from having new posts on the front page every ~15 minutes, to keeping the same posts there all day long.
