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.

Then I'm glad that Reddit permabanned me in the post-Inauguration bloodbath, before ICE spun up and I would have been calling for justice.

BUT, I also had a 12 year account with a million Karma, so I have plenty of juicy anti-MAGA and anti-Trump (I called him HitlerPig for a long time) posts for them to prosecute me for.

So it looks like being a government slave in the work camps is my retirement plan.

Oh, they're not going to like me at all.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not making it to the slave camps, and me, my crossbows, and my knives are taking as many of them with me as I can

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I like your thinking. Also slingshots and ball bearings. One of those to the face will slow you down. David and Goliath time.

And don't forget your videogame lessons. Pick up any loot your victims drop. Lots of good guns, ammo, and body armor.

Stay in the shadows, brother.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

In about 10 years we will be reading articles like "Do you remember Reddit, Meta and Google?". This shit can only go on for so long before other alternatives present themselves.

[–] drcabbage@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't count on that. People are too lazy to change.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 3 points 24 minutes ago

Hugo Boss agrees.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 27 points 13 hours ago

But the Dow.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 49 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (3 children)

You would hope the corporate collaborators of this fascist regime will one day get their comeuppance. Sadly, if the history of corporate collaborators in Nazi Germany is anything to go by, most likely not much will happen to them or their officers...

Right. Coke/Fanta, IBM, Hugo Boss, idk how many German automakers, Ford, Chanel, the list goes on. All household names around the world, without the slightest pangs of conscience. If only corporations were legally considered people and could be tried and exec- oh wait, they ARE considered people.

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 21 points 15 hours ago

Don't worry, they'll be punished, and you'll never hear from them again. For example, have you ever heard of Hugo Boss, Volkswagen, Adidas, Coca-Cola, Ford, Fanta, BMW, Siemens, Bayer, or IBM?

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 14 hours ago

the reason they got away is because the Germans expected the cops to handle the nazi cops. when a more hands on solution would've been more expedient

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 31 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (10 children)

Get ready for the next reddit exodus. Honestly I can't wait.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 2 points 2 hours ago

Don't wish for that. The more mainstream Lemmy becomes, the more it'll become a target for the regime's surveillance apparatus.

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 2 points 3 hours ago

Reddit is the new FaceBook. People won’t leave so much as younger people will use the next thing.

Facebook is still around in a somewhat diminished form. I expect Reddit will persist, too.

[–] hellure@lemmy.org 16 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Just installed Blorp and created this account.

Been meaning too, but my 3rd party app just became useless because of their API BS, so there's that too.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I never even heard of Blorp.

That's what makes this piece of the internet so cool.

[–] hellure@lemmy.org 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I really liked the name.

It's missing a bunch of basic stuff though, ATM.

Doesn't even have a file access permission option to save pictures, but it appears to save when you click Download. Just does nothing. Have to click Share and 'save with a file app' or 'copy to folder' or whatever instead 

A few missing features aside, it does work.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Blorp dev here. Are you using Blorp on web, iOS, or Android? I would love to sort out the saving image issue.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 12 points 13 hours ago

Welcome to the Fediverse

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They still have 3rd party Reddit apps? And they fucked them on API use again? lol

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 9 hours ago

They didn't officially, apart from RedReader for accessibility reasons. But you could unofficially use some of the old apps with some minor hacks I think. Maybe they clamped down on it again.

I've noticed Reddit comments are slowly but surely getting outnumbered with ICE sympathizer comments.

Any video I saw of the high school kid punching the ICE instigator had thousands of comments that are Pro-ICE. They are typically aggressive and taunting. The amount of bot posts and comments are ridiculous too.

[–] hellure@lemmy.org 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (3 children)

Are there bot commentors on Lemmy?

I just migrated, don't really know all the ins and outs yet.

[–] BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

It's not likely for a few reasons. The community is smaller and the juice is not worth the squeeze. They are easily spotted here.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Most that hit Lemmy are pretty damn obvious and get banned quickly by mods and instance admins.

So far the slightly more complex reddit style ones haven't been turned on us yet. Probably don't think the smaller userbase is worth the effort.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 12 hours ago

I suspect these more advanced Reddit bots are given some kind of special access via private APIs or other backend integration from the Reddit staff / devs themselves.

Which they won’t get here. Of course, the whole thing is open source, so they could modify that as needed and run it on their own instances. Of course, those instances would then be easy to spot and defederate. And on and on.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

Sometimes I think there are provacateurs on here, saying we should do something about so and so and so forth. Trying to do the old FBI trick of creating terrorism where there isn't any.

[–] BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

The view that "everyone who disagrees with me is a bot" is frustrating. No one can have an opinion differing from mine, and if they do they aren't a real person they are a plant put there by a fascist billionaire.

Das war bei uns genauso, absolut nicht überraschend. Viel Glück weiterhin.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

But not Lemmy right... right?

lol Fuck ICE, they will get what's coming once midterms happen. Especially those that have hurt or murdered people.

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

All votes and comments are publicly accessible, something worth keeping in mind when sharing here.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

lol yeah I know. I don't post anything I wouldn't want read in a court

[–] pnelego@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Even if one of the servers does this, good luck getting all the servers to cooperate.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I wanna say lemmy is to small for them to care right now. They got enough to monitor with those 3 alone. Definitely one day though.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

They're here, they're just on shifts and are approximately 7-30 accounts, depending on time. Hopefully, it stays around that.

[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing is going to happen to them come midterms. I'll only believe something good can happen in this country after it happens.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm trying to manifest it like Oprah would've wanted.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

She'd also want to platform people like Mehmet Oz (who hasn't been a doctor since several years before he ran for Senate), Dr Phil, and John of God.

So maybe don't fall for her bullshit 🤷

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

DON'T YOU DARE insult OPRAH

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 33 minutes ago (1 children)
[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

That's where the internet is in 2026 sadly
