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.

along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you're allowed to see

Mods here removed a quote from tropic thunder to describe Reddit.

Unfortunately the types of people that moderate community forms are overly sensitive losers and the word for slow in French.

This was a problem on reddit and is a problem here. The cancer that started there will recur as long as we have unaccountable unelected basement dwellers that want to play hall monitor online and can't get laid.

Fuck reddit. Fuck powertripping mods. Fuck hall monitor nerds that put their thumb on the scales of open dialogue on forums.

I get that it's a quote, one that many people find funny, but it is also rooted in ableism and hasn't exactly aged super well. It's not like your comment was removed for "wrongthink," it was removed for violating a social norm that has evolved since that movie came out. Just my two cents. 🤷‍♀️

Forum moderation corroded the human soul. It's a thankless job that mostly involves policing the most perverse, belligerent, and degenerate people.

Oh, you're mad that you can't use a slur? That's like, the powertripping? People leave reddit because of chuds like you hombre.

Edit: check his account, its a ragebot or something.

For me, the sickness started with forced introduction of the new interface. It was so horrible I just switched to old in the settings.

Imagine what happened? Reddit unchecked that setting for me every fucking month on purpose. Hole fuck this is disrespectful. Also, they replaced direct messages with chat that spams neverending crypto scams at me.

And on top of that majority of big subs are moderated by the same people with iron grip on "truth"

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I quit when they killed RiF. The Reddit app was unusable to me. I also exclusively used old interface on PC.

But Reddit downfall was fortuitous for me, I was doom scrolling way too much and it was having a toll on my mental health.

Lemmy is too slow moving for that. Theres only so many times I can scroll past the same SMCF post before I have to put the phone down, go outside and touch the grass

Year of Desktop Lemmy

[–] TheHighRoad@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Ever since the election the site has steadily become more and more... off. Something changed, I wonder what it was?

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

You can still compare how titles look with /popular vs old.reddot.com/r/all

Relevant topics were replaced with bot fueled shitty memes + socially important topics are much harder to find

Intention driven media consumption is getting killed everywhere.

YouTube hides your subscriptions from you, the public broadcasting institutions from my country recently netflixified the experience (they try to tell you what you want to watch).

It's so stupid.

I had to revive RSS for myself to overcome this. My feed, my decisions!

Nothing good left there.

Time to learn more about fediverse and become an active poster to support the platform.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

IMO /all was overrated in the first place. It was overwhelmed with memes, more niche meme content, and whatever the shallow hivemind decided to upvote like fake TIFU or relationship_advice posts.

Best way to find good r/ back in the day was via mentions in subs you already followed.

It is somewhat sad to see slow death of such old platform.
