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:
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 have been using Reddit for the last couple of years. It feels like it got worse ever since u/spez banned 3rd party clients which requires me to use revanced reddit now. Now the latest saga involves subreddits now banning you for participating in other subreddit they think are bad. This is just pure censorship at this point. And you want to know the best part Reddit has done NOTHING to stop this issue.

This isn't new, and a significant reason that I segmented my alts was so that I didn't comment in "opposing" subs.
Welcome
They are arbitrarily nuking peops to replace with bots. My wife got banned for laughing at a ratty pic near a whole wheat wrap and saying yum. Reddit said it was inciting violence. 2 days ago there was an actual picture of a rat in a wrap and no one was nuked. I also was nuked a month or so ago.
and it doesnt even slow down any bots, the propaganda bots they arnt touching. plus the bots that people use to earn money, they are just barely keeping them at bay. instead they go after the non-bot users.
im in a forum where people are using hundreds to thousands of accounts at a time to evade bans.
what they are really doing is just want botting, and data to scrape for AI purposes, plus a read only site for advertisement exposure. they seem to already require some kind ID for nsfw for UK users, underaged. only matter of time before they resemble FB.
It's the new 4chan. lmao
True. Reddit should be banned. It is promoting intolerance, hatred.
It's been a thing for years, way before api shitshow
Yep joined lemmy around API controversy. It's been like 2 years on lemmy for me. Loving it
[…] please delete all of your participation in the subreddit in question (regardless of if it is positive or negative) […]
So it’s guilt by association.
i have the perfect solution, but it might be a tad extreme: don't use reddit. BAM. there it is.
This also exists on Lemmy
I am outright abrasive and hostile to .ml mods for their tankie lies and .world mods for their Nazi bootlicking, and despite having many posts and comments removed I have not been banned from a single community as far as I can tell.
I've been banned from communities on completely different instances for things I've said that clearly personally offended some powermod or another.
but the amount of moderations and filters is much more oppressive on reddit. politics is usually the ones that get people banned on both platforms
At least on Lemmy it's mostly one part of it, and honestly being banned from that part is probably a good thing
🤣
Nintendo fandom is feeling super defensive rn
So they have a bot check to see if you've posted in a sub they don't like, which then auto-bans you if it finds you there.
The thought police are unpaid volunteers using bots now, I guess.
they also have something called crowd control , which limits the amount of traffic, or whoever is posting on the sub.
I used to be big contributor on reddit and it's has been completely taken over by power users who are just shilling. Many subreddit mods are actually in bed with businesses and take straight up bribes or have their own conflicting interests.
reddit and large subs have all upped thier filters, so its actually harder to comment in subs that have high traffic. the niche subs are probably safe subs(the rule is if the sub has a sets of rule like the sidebar on lemmy, then you know its monitored heavily.
Yup if you take a look at new posts on any big sub reddit its either bots karma farming or influencers shilling. It's just too hard for new people to onboard on sharing as:
So aside from smaller subreddits it's just trolls and bots talking between each other.
I suspect a lot of mods are actually employed by those companies directly.
its called crossbanning, if the mods of a sub feels like another sub is too controversial they will premetively ban you, now with the new reddit filters, your at risk of getting sitewide banned.
famous one is participating j roegan sub, and you get banned from multiple subs, but j rogegan sub is only criticizing him, not fetishsizing his gop support.
The Nintendo community here is no better. I got banned for the same reason here on Lemmy.
not surprised. when lemmy got popular all the mods from Reddit created their little communities because power feels good.
which requires me to use revanced reddit now
Actually it doesn't require you to do shit. You can just not use Reddit.
I used boost for a solid year and a half after the 3rd party app ban. Now I use Boost for Lemmy.
As a pedant myself, that's some top notch pedantism.
cheers
Thanks, it's why I'm here
That's some good pedantry, cryptids. Bake em away, toys.
I like that you used the “bake em away, toys” callback on a thread with usernames of Watermelon Albert, Ramen Shaman, and Lousy Corn Muffin.
It sounds like y’all are preparing a potluck.
DON'T PUT MY TOYS IN THEY OVEN!!!!
i'm surprised I quit reddit cold turkey and never looked back, i was fairly addicted to that place. reddit was getting bad before 2023, when i left, but at that point was getting clear that wasn't getting any better
Lemmy really helped scratch the Reddit itch. I was lucky enough that my app of choice (boost) was also available for Lemmy, so the transition was pretty seamless (actually, more seamless than it would've been sticking with Reddit, since I left over the API shit, which would've forced me over to their half-baked app).
The only thing I really miss is the sheer volume of users, especially in more niche communities, but the posts on Lemmy imo tend to be more quality over quantity than Reddit, so that helps.

I mean all y'all are generally less likely to be expressing your anal glands on the internet here. I like it.
Always remember Alien Blue. That was a great app until spaz and co bought it.
Same same Boost bro :)
banning you for participating in other subreddit they think are bad.
This happens on Lemmy too. Power Tripping Mods aren't exclusive to Reddit.
Sure, but the community would immediately make a new NintendoHelp community on another instance. We have a low tolerance for that kind of BS.
Some people might do that, but then you have two communities with even less users.
