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.

I posted links to help people know that there are sites that will detect AI images, and… lo and behold, a dipshit clown for a mod banned me because I “spammed my site”.

LMAO!

The dipshit actually thought I was advertising my own website! And in true ‘puffed-chest bravado’, he muted me so not only couldn’t I point out how fucking stupid his accusation was, but that I was spamming a link to an AI detection site- ON COMMENTS MADE BY BOTS!

Man… It’s so true that any moderator with half-functioning brains have abandoned that shithole long ago.

This was too fucking funny!

EDIT: HOLY SHIT! LMAO! Get this,

So, the coward just unmuted me, wrote a few paragraphs digging further into their stupid decision, then re-muted me after telling me that my ban cannot be unlifted. What a pathetic little chode!

I was probably one of the few people calling out the bot slop in that sub, and the only reason I didn’t mute it was because AI whack-a-mole is a weird way I pass down-time.

If anyone was wondering, the sub is r/funny. Go check out all the bot slop those clowns are too stupid to notice.

You guys are just crazy if you're surfing on any subreddit that shows up in the Popular tab. It's almost all bot/AI posting, the comments as well. I dare to say even the mods, Reddit is half dead, especially mainstream communities.
