The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

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.

These posts about Reddit’s continuing slide are like the news my elderly mother gives when yet another one of her friends dies: sad, but what you gonna do?
Every conversation my mother and grandmother had for the last 10 years of my grandmother’s life (just change the name):
Grandmother: “Do you remember Sue Smith?” Mom: “I don’t think so.” Grandmother: “ Yes you do, Sue Smith.” Mom: “Sue Smith? Where would I know her from?” Grandmother: “ She lived two houses down from us over on Suwannee Street.” Mom: “I don’t remember a Sue Smith from the neighborhood.” Grandmother: “She was Sue Jones before she got married.” Mom: “OH Sue Jones! Yeah I remember her!” Grandmother: “Well she died.”
Every. Single. Time.
Haha, that's so accurate
Alle tot
Danke! Die sind alle tot.
Aha Mensch, ja
The closer you get to death, the more fascinated by you become. My grandparents died in the 80s. Last ten years before they died, my grandfather and his friends went to every funeral no matter who it was or if they knew them. You might think ha ha they went for the food, but they never went to the receptions/wakes. I think they basically just did it as a high five, I'm alive you're dead type of thing. They did this until every one of them was dead. None of them were overly religious.
"If I don't go to their funeral, they won't come to mine"
Will they be attending your funeral due to the zombie apocalypse or as ghosts? 🤔
You reminded me of something... There was this comedian in the 90s. Can't remember who. But he had this routine about his mother-
"Guess who died today?"
"Mom..."
"Guess who died today?"
"Mom, I'm eating breakfast."
"Guess who died today?"
"I don't know... grandma?"
"Yeah, but which one?"
Ha ha ha ha ha!!! 🤣🤣🤣
My husband's grandmother has been having this conversation with me for almost twenty years. I did not grow up in that town, I did not grow up in that state, and even after we got married, we never lived close by. But she has never lived anywhere else, and I don't think she can imagine a world where everyone she knows doesn't know everyone else she knows. I've just learned to quickly accept that of course I remember "Sue from Suwannee Street".
I feel like Reddit is like that friend you had in high school that started doing drugs and went into a downward spiral. Now you hear news about him every now and then and it’s just sad
I don't know, that comparison kinda humanizes a corporation that is very much looking to go public and make itself valuable to shareholders. I don't like to think of these websites as "friends".
Yes, reddit's a tragic shitshow, but there is absolutely no guarantee the same won't happen on any fediverse instance either. We should always look out to jump ship if we start to notice like a website is sacrificing user wishes for personal gain.
How about Reddit is like that friend that decided to start a pyramid scheme but it didn't work out and they have now become that friend you had in high school that started doing drugs and went into a downward spiral. Now you hear news about them every now and then and it’s just sad.
Is that better?
The good thing about Fediverse is that you can divorce instances, and even run your own so that other people who use it can get mad at your policies.
More like a friend from years ago that you still talked to often on social media, and thought you still knew, but went into that downward spiral over the course of a month or two.
it's more amusing than sad to watch these out of touch CEOs burn their company to the ground in an attempt to find extra pennies in the couch cushions.
I'll miss Reddit, but federated social network is the right step forward and I hope we can rebuild what we had
I hope we can build what we wanted, since I don’t think Reddit has ever been perfect. I bet we can do better.
