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.

MODERATORS
I don't understand why they'd do another round of place at a time like this. Like wtf did they think would happen?
If you read the r/place guidelines you must use the mobile app to participate. Hence everyone who is jumping in, even to mock spez, are stupidly doing exactly what reddit wants. Adopt their app. This is purely to get people to join their shit app
It works fine in a desktop web browser. No app required.
Hm I just read this post and figured they'd be telling the truth.
Seems I missed the new reddit part but it's just as bad as the app.
You can use new.Reddit.com.
Lol no fuckin way
Probably to drive user interaction back up.
Precisely.
They don't care what the users make. They care that user interaction numbers are back up.
Spez is the scapegoat. The ownership of Reddit knows what they're doing and spez is simply the idiot willing to (poorly) do what he's told.
Is he really an idiot? He's making plenty of money, and demonstrating that even the people who hate his company the most cannot stop putting money in it's pockets.
Reddit would NEVER scapegoat their company president! The very idea!
It's a tiny fraction, damn near a rounding error, of people involved compared to Reddit user base though.
They do everything to up the engagement by any means necessary, so they can say that there were no big impact on traffic after blackouts. And it works. It doesn't matter that people go there out of hatred, they still end up as traffic
