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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
 

Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they've since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

Let me get this straight- they want mods to have live business meetings with them? As if they're employees?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 131 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I anticipate in the future that that mods will be required to fill out weekly TPS reports. However, if you only have one subreddit you're moderating, please use up the old cover sheets. If you're moderating two or more subreddits, please use the new cover sheet. Did you get the memo on this? I'll send you a copy of the memo.

Yyeeeaaah, I'm gonna need to to stay late and do some more moderating.

[–] Dangeresque@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

If they don't use those cover sheets properly they are going to get tackled by Terry Tate

At this point, I fully expect reddit to ask the mods to pay a subscription to maintain their mod status in the future.

Once the floodgate of bad decisions has started, it's not really possible to stop it.

"Reddit as a hosting service. We provide you the infrastructure and discoverability necessary to build and maintain a growing community. Yours for only $50/month!"

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now imagine companies openly buying moderator positions to take over their own subreddit.

It can always get worse.

This comment thread reads like a corporate brainstorming session.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

"hmmm. But is there any way we can exploit brown people in some brown country while doing this?'

all that is missing.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The word "openly" is the only thing that separates your comment from currently-happening-reality. Plenty of subs and their mods are bought and paid for.

Also this whole post from the VP is such a load of shit. "We have a seat for you at the table... if you want it." Boy only a VP in a big corporation could keep a mouth so loaded with horseshit.

Don’t give them ideas because that’s actually kind of too brilliant for them — instead of selling ads only, also directly sell the user base to interested parties.

[–] Mysteriousbedroom2@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol, this is straight up corporate schpeel for turning reddit into Amway.

Weekly meetings.

And they will also tour the world! That will surely help with their profitability.
