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.

after I got banned from Reddit Admins for single reporting racist comment I decided its best time to leave. i am not going to bow to that racist scum. https://imgur.com/a/8B2dlSQ https://imgur.com/a/ctET6Rb
As per your screenshot & the contained link, you reported this comment as racist?
It sounds to me like you got banned for a good reason, because that was an abuse of the reporting tool.
Reporting a racist comment isn't "abuse".
Even if you think racism is OK if it happens to be against a group you hate, it's still not justifiable to ban someone for bringing it to the the attention of the administrators.
That would achieve nothing except make people afraid to alert the mods.
Thats a bad outcome no matter what.
The point is the comment in question wasn't racist. It was stupid, maybe off-the-point, but whoever gets offended by that is a thin-skinned loser.
Strawman. Comment in question was not racism. I am calling people thin skinned who get offended by a stupid comment and also, people who try to dilute the severity of ACTUAL racism by shouting murder at every inappropriate comment they don't like, are probably racist as f*ck themselves.
Ah yes... the people calling out the racism are the issue. Very logical.
at this point, I can only conclude you're one of the mentally ill people who are aiming to distract from actual racism.
I'm not the one with a world view that distinctly separates races into different social classes.
People like yourself think "If only I was in control". I think you're no better then any other totalitarian.
You just outed yourself as a racist, by admitting that you believe that a thing like "race" exists. I won't waste any more time with you.
Powermove.
Or you don't think that saying "privileged white folk" is racist in the first place.
Heck, "privlaged black folk" doesnt sit well with me either.
Lets not mince words here, reguardless of skin color, privlage to not just visit but live in unreality is really sad. And like you've won when you see it shattered.
I dont know the point of sayimg this.
