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.

That's 4Chan.

Reddit is bad, but as long as facebook, twitter and indeed 4chan is around, it is not yet the toilet of the internet. More like your kitchen sink drain of the internet.
Facebook is just white-hair containment.
4chan still being around is weird. You can't post or do anything, and their captchas seem intentionally broken. Sure you can pay a nominal fee, but the whole point of a board built on being anonymous, demanding you dox yourself to post seems out of touch.

curate what it wants to show you
Ads. This means ads.
And communities that are moderated by that lady that worked with Epstein and Trump to rape all those kids for all those years
Reddit was over as soon as conde nast got involved
It still works, but is convoluted. If you add r/All (rrmember to not use r/all, the capitalization matters) to your profile, it still goes there.

Even if you are trying to just look at your own feed fully half of what you see if just random ass subs absolutely loaded with bot accounts pushing right wing bullshit and product placement.

Reddit wants to curate content you’re allowed to see that is suitable to their advertising clients. Ad money and where it is spent controls the general viability of what content gets seen by a large number of people.
Publishing at the extremes both left and right is generally built off private funding. Brands only want their logos on the safe cookie cutter spaces of the internet. Same with television.
Ad money is easily the largest form of censorship we regularly encounter.

I literally just went there to check it out. I'm on old reddit, and r/all is still in the "tabs" section on the top of the page. r/all is clickable, it brings up content, and the top post is just over an hour old (and I clicked through to verify the time on the post.
