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.

Lol as much as this is a fun larp, and reddit did take too long to ban them, I'm not partial to taking random twitter/mastodon/ discourse as gospel. I think it's goofy when conservatives do it, and I think it's goofy here.

I can confirm this story because I was the boat.

[–] PlainSimpleGarak@lemm.ee 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Can also confirm. I was the boat.

Explain Bot: "Can Confirm" boat at anchor off the coast of Panama reputed to have the tightest pussy of any boat stationed south of Caracas.

A was flying over the boat at the time, as I am wont to do.

Then everyone clapped. I know because that boat was Albert Einstein.

You wouldn't know him, he goes to a different school in Canada.

Can't speak for the boat story, but after fatpeoplehate was banned, there was a study that showed that many shitters left/changed their behavior

Yeah I'm not arguing that deplatforming doesn't work, I just think the highly improbable boat story is silly to even address.
