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.

To be fair, that was back when people could add any other reddit account as a moderator to a subreddit without their knowledge. Still, I think he was still listed as a moderator when r/jailbait was banned, which if that is true is entirely inexcusable.

[–] PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago

They were 100% aware they were hosting a "not technically child pornography but we're going to use it as child pornography" sub, but there's no subreddit degenerate enough that they'll ban it while it's profitable.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For those who don't know, look into the Creator of that sub. It's a crazy ass conspiracy type thing. Google Lake City Quiet Pills (link goes to a video from Nexpo on the subject) to go down a wild rabbit hole that somehow includes that sub. No child shit or whatever but it's hella interesting.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Lake City Quiet Pills

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Unreal that this bot started quoting the title!

[–] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, I remember listening to the story of LCQP on the Chilluminati Podcast

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Theories of the Third Kind has a good one on it too. Haven't heard of that one I'll check it out.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Can't you do that on Lemmy now?

I say that as someone who now apparently moderates a Sims community on Lemmy.world

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yes, you can appoint anyone as moderator and they'll be none the wiser unless they happen to look at their own profile page. I think the target must have comments/posts on the community first but not sure if it can be bypassed in the backend.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 5 points 2 years ago

That would make sense. I was one of the only people posting there

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hmm... not sure. That's interesting. On Reddit you can be invited and you have to accept, but not sure about Lemmy.

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Look at me, I am the mods now.

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why be fair to Spez?

He wasn't fair to his userbase.

Treat people as ~~you would like to be treated~~ they demonstrate they treat people.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do unto others as they do unto others

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Exactly.

In a vacuum, be kind, but once someone shows you who they are, believe them and respond accordingly.

[–] EtherealMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck spez, but even if he was a moderator knowingly, wouldn't the point of that be to... moderate it, so that it didn't have illegal content?

Not vouching for "legal jailbait" or anything.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I never visited that subreddit, so I have no idea of the actual content. I don't know enough about the situation to be able to post more than I have without completely making stuff up, and in those situations its smarter to not say anything.

It was jailbait wasn't it?

[–] finthechat@kbin.social 36 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes, and also /r/ihaveaverysmallpenis

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is that a joke or not the onion?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is more that mods could make anyone a mod, even without their permission.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

We're you a moderator of /r/Pyongyang too?

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
[–] solowolf@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

you joking that he modded that group ?

[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Oh Spez.

I remember when "the other site" launched an instant messaging feature. It was buggy as hell and interfered with my browsing experience on the site. Totally didn't expect anything to come of it, but mostly jokingly messaged Spez through the new feature knowing it would go to an endless abyss never to be seen again. Surprisingly he responded. Cordial but ultimately also not at all helpful. But some time later (maybe a month?), the bug I messaged him about was fixed. So, maybe it wasn't all fruitless.

[–] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 23 points 2 years ago

I wonder if he ever got a ride in Epstein’s aeroplane…

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago
[–] dingus@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is there a body to this post? I can't see one on my Lemmy client, but everyone seems to be responding to something.

[–] JakenVeina@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Same, I see nothing but the title in the body.
