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.

They want everyone to use their shitty app so yours forced to see the avatars of other posters, thus subliminally making you want an avatar to "fit in"
When I used infinity all you saw was the username of who made a post or comment, and the content they posted itself. You don't need avatars for reddit, its an anonymous website(for now)
And also ads. They also really want people to see unavoidable ads
They didn't even give app developers the option of showing Reddit's ads.
Well yeah, like I said, they (read: spez and tencent) are pursuing quarterly rapid growth over viable long term solutions. But instead they are burning their business
And copying and idolizing another guy who doesn't know what he's doing at the former birdsite.
At least Zuck knows when to shut up.
In the few months before the end I kept seeing people inexplicably complimenting other people's avatars. I wasn't sure what that was about until this, and now I wonder if they had people intentionally doing so to make others jealous or something.
