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.

Tons of crap like millions of "Fuck spez" all over the place, big ones and small ones, at one point they took up almost a 5th of the visible area. There were multiple statements about never forgetting what was taken from us or joining other social media. There were insults about spez in other languages and a guillotine with a snoo in it labeled Spez
Best to just let them die. The ultimate revenge is not thinking about that site at all. Let them fade into obscurity.
Sure, but that's something for reddit users to do. There are 63k active Lemmy users monthly, and there are 430 million active Reddit users monthly. I dropped Reddit with the app death, but people are vastly overestimating the direct impact that Lemmy could possibly have on Reddit.
Reddit's not gonna start dying until the population starts migrating in significant amounts to alternatives, which is probably going to be a little cataclysmic for Lemmy.
Things don't happen overnight. I have noticed this platform improving as time goes on. I find incredible content with authentic, real discussion here. Everyday the content grows and the conversation threads become longer and more varied.
It will grow if you let it.
This is it exactly: the difference in the discussions and posts between when I joined a few weeks ago and now is striking. It's reminding me of early reddit before the Digg migration and I'm hopeful it will continue to improve
Just like Digg before them.
Other languages ? I have to respect the dedication.
There are people that mostly speak other languages
They probably opened r/place as an outlet for anger; some temporary bad reputation now, so that those who are butthurt will shut up.
Also for interaction - number of active users is a very important metric - and with something like this they basically guarantee that a lot of users are checking very regularly - and the investors for the IPO probably will never see that place
They will if they check the news coverage on Reddit as part of their research. (Or, more likely, have their staff do it for them).
They opened it to get more people to adopt their app and new reddit. It's probably working.
Worked great for threads, how much has their engagement dropped since they activated everyone's Instagram account for it? 75%?
If they think that giving people an outlet for anger on the internet actually causes people to get that anger out of their system… where tf have they been for the past 40 years? That can work in person, but online, the more people rage, the more they want to rage. Giving them an opportunity just pours gasoline on the fire.

Rage is a known driver of engagement.
I wonder if calling their board of directors and investors by name could've reached news.
Reddit deserves to die by being ignored into oblivion, and fading from relevance.
Spez who?
Who is this guy again? Funny guy.
