I know will not be seen by many, but if someone wonders why my profile is dead, they know why. Link sends to join-lemmy.org, if I get banned, oh well...

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.

I haven't logged in since BaconReader shut down. I've gone over to lurk a little, but each time I do and drop into the comments, I last maybe 5 minutes and close it.
That said, the holier-than-thou crowd is becoming more vocal here, and it's a bummer.
Likewise.
I haven’t contributed to Reddit since Steve said that he wants Reddit to be like twitter….shortly before the API death
Now I only use Reddit for google tech support and I use the internet archive redirect plugin.
This is such a stupid decision. If people want a Twitter experience they'll join and use Twitter. Reddit is successful because it's reddit. Changing it to not be reddit just means they're moving against the current that pushed them to success. Facebook did the same thing, trying to make their website like TikTok and now everyone hates it. People weren't on Facebook to get a TikTok experience, they were there to connect with friends and family. Now that Zuckerfuck has made it impossible to connect with friends and family I have zero reason to visit his crappy website anymore.
The commies with no sense of the historical irony of said label were here before I arrived. I’d say they were teenagers afflicted with black and white thinking but maybe that is not the case.
Eh not even that, it's more of the "my thinking is right and if you disagree with any element of my ideology, you're a bigot/fascist/etc". When I first got here, conversations were pretty pleasant and opposing ideological conversations were welcome, but it's shifted pretty quickly into hivemind/groupthink.
No you're pretty spot-on. I would also lump in troll propagandist to the mix. There are quite a lot of communist on Lemmy who are a little more sophisticated than a teenager.
