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.

Yeah, getting rid of what they call "calls to violence" posters so as to make the shareholders happy.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Hopefully spez sleeps comfortably at night.

Literally their earnings are held together by user numbers (AI bots), licensing deals (AI training), and advertising (AI bot users). Reddit is going to be a case study in AI inbreeding if it survives the AI bubble burst.

Couldn't AI train from Lemmy for free? Are they doing that already?

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, but there are an order of magnitude more reddit users.

[–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 1 points 23 hours ago

Doesn't Anubis stop that?

if it survives the AI bubble burst.

there's no fucking way. its valuation is entirely dependent on it.

Reddit is getting worse by the second.

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

It's becoming the new Facebook but for middle- to upper-class young people in my country -- self-proclaimed "intellectuals" -- who try avoiding Facebook and its purportedly lowbrow content, so much of the frontpage content are either casuals or showbiz gossip.

It's a shame to see it go. I miss old reddit

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 4 hours ago

Me too it used to be great

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

Same. I got on reddit about a year or two after they launched. Old reddit was the shit. Now it’s just chasing every last dollar they can

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Good thing the mass boycott a few years ago had an affect. /s

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 76 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Ah man

We failed!

We created a vast network of active communities for nothing!

We did it, reddit!

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 day ago

Losing never felt so good.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point Lemmy has all I need for news and tech. All that's missing is niche communities. I've considered going back to reddit for that Alone and filtering out everything else, and reposting the best stuff (not memes) here

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've been trying that lately, its not worth it.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 17 hours ago

They try to block you for VPN use, fuck em

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago

Imo the community moderators completely chickened out. All of them who took part in the boycott should've all left when Reddit didn't budge. Yeah, a few did - and got their mod teams replaced, but imagine if Reddit had to replace entire subreddit teams for hundreds, thousands of well-used subreddits? It would've been chaos as they would've had no meaningful way to determine who would be good fits or not.

Most people don't know or care about reddit details. Every post could kick a puppy and people would be like "oh I forgot. But it's where the content is so"
