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.

Protip: before nuking your account get one of those apps that replaces all the text with jibberish, that way not only are you making reddit less attractive to new people but less useful to bots and reddit itself.
Also if you have any post that never got a reply add a comment with "I found the solution super easy"
Works great on technical posts
'NVM, fixed it, thanks!'
This is diabolical and I love it
I see you're familiar with "Stack Overflow"
Don’t use redact.dev though if you go this route.
Dan Saltman owns redact and there’s a lot of speculation that all your info is kept by them instead of being fully deleted.
Pretty sure reddit has all the comments archived on the back end anyway. There's no way they'd let people remove training data for LLMs that they can sell.
Also unless you deleted your account a long time ago everything you wrote has been available publicly and for free on the internet for many years.
Oh no, not my sexy photos in a dress that can be found in my profile! I sure hope no one ever will download them and use for their own horny purposes!
Oh, I'm on the screenshot!
need more and more people to leave reddit and join lemmy for good
Honestly, apart of me says no, because the oversaturation will cause history to repeat itself.
More and more people are and have been leaving Reddit.
However, Reddit is expanding its reach and popularity in other regions with large populations, like India and developing countries across the globe as well as working to attract other cultures/circles and younger demographics. Strictly from a numbers perspective, it's really only getting bigger.
And the people who are there now don't give a single gnat turd about privacy, censorship, APIs, artificial intelligence, bots, ads, crappy design, scams/spam, bad moderation/administration, centralized social media, toxic culture, or any of the other million reasons why people like you and I left. If they did, they wouldn't be there now.
Having said that, a lot of folks in the Lemmy-esque parts of the Fediverse came here to get away from Reddit's culture, not just its mods and admins. A mass exodus of Redditors coming here is basically the very last thing they want. And truly, every time there is a big fiasco that leads to lots of people coming here from Reddit, it's almost always the case that they come, they leave, and most of what remains is the very worst of Reddit that couldn't get back in because they're so toxic they were completely banned. I said what I said.
I agree, I wish more people would leave Reddit and use lemmy
Glad i left reddit for lemmy tbh.
I’m in the process of quitting Reddit. It was weird, some person commented dozens of times and started reposting the same question on the same comment because we disagreed. After I asked the person to leave me alone (I know… I was naive and hopeful), they commented again with the same question multiple times, I told them to fuck off. I got flagged by Reddit for harassment and now I’m shadow banned. It’s basically made the app useless to me. I don’t get why that’s a policy, if they’re banning my account they should just tell me and give me a chance to appeal or just block it. Instead, they operate in this weird gray space of making the experience terrible so you just leave. Sad because I enjoyed a closed community there but the general mods are just the worst. Lemmy will probably be better for my mental health though so silver linings :)

It's because they hope you won't notice it happened so there will be less work for them dealing with your complaints or new accounts. Even for people who aren't fully shadowbanned, when their comments are removed it's done in a similar way to hide from them that it happened. Reddit is designed to make sure admins and mods are not accountable (to the users) for their actions, and silence anyone who objects.
its because they used AI to ban people, they want to deal with the fallout of a false positive, thats why they gave vague bot message when you site wide banned.
The other day I got a notification that Reddit removed my comment for hate speech. I was scared. Had I said something hateful?
I went to check. It was a comment under a "Homophobic Gaster" meme in the Deltarune community. My comment was:
IT IS I
GASTER DELTARUNE
AND I AM VERY,
VERY
HOMOPHOBIC.
Reddit moderation has no human input whatsoever
About the time that I knew that I was going to be leaving Reddit was when I got a similar notification, for threatening violence against another.
It turns out in the post I was mocking a fictional character. That's literally it.
Sometimes you'll get a word salad followed by "edited by redact"
Then you find out it's nothing offensive or rule breaking, just a MOD on a power trip. I'm so glad I deleted my account after like 10 years.
Reddit is also getting ban hungry. I got a 7 day ban for criticizing Israelis… zero bans for people saying much worse things about Palestinians

[gently shushed with a kiss]
Add that to the fact that there are so many people/bots on Reddit that if you post a comment as little as an hour or two after something is posted, your comment will never been seen and interacted with.
There's really not much value left in Reddit other than looking up archived answers.
You want to know the reason. This is what I said on reddit and they banned me for 3 days. It's not even suggesting violence but instead a gathering outside the mansion. Reddit is literally defending Tim Sweeney even.
"Let's go raid just outside the mansion"
I will never use reddit again.

Hate speech
TBH, I have some of the same issues here sometimes.
Especially when it goes like, "Oh look, somebody replied to my post just five minutes ago!" What was the reply? 'Deleted by creator'
Once I corrected a guy on some minor D&D rule, nothing important
He started insulting me, ultimately realized he was wrong, and deleted the comment alongside his entire freakin' account
Mm, the good old tactic of "all bridges burnt in panic, out of embarrassment".
Fun thing with sideloading Apollo app, you can now see the deleted and removed comments from people.
Sometimes comments that are removed were genuine answers to questions, still wonder why these get removed. Other times it is just hilarious to see how mad people get towards strangers on the internet.
good
