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
That will probably be a copyright violation as all your comments and posts belong to Reddit.
Half of reddit is screenshots of twitter posts and reuploads of snapchat videos.
They may claim it's their intellectual property, but it isn't.
It's your data, you have the right to delete it, you have the right to amend it, you have the right to repost it somewhere else.
I don't think reddit or any social media company gains copyright or ownership of what you post
There's no guarantee that what's being posted even belongs to or is the original creation of the poster.
I'm not sure where Reddit has landed on this, but I know some social media platforms explicitly reject ownership of certain types of content... Because if they insist they own it, they become responsible for it at a higher threshold.
If I start posting a bunch of hate speech in a niche, poorly moderated subreddit... Suddenly Reddit would be on the hook for that.
I know the laws in the USA aren't super tight on that kinda thing but in Europe you can hit some pretty rough consequences pretty quickly.
Lol sue me
I’m not gonna bother looking it up cuz I’m at work but usually sites hosting user generated content don’t claim ownership, merely a non-exclusive royalty free license. If they did claim ownership, they’d be on the hook for a looooot of copyright violations. Which is why they don’t do it.
The stack exchange network does claim ownership. Their whole business model is to have a site where users post technical answers to questions, then sue business where an employee copy pasted code blurbs from one of their sites.
I avoid those sites when searching for technical answers for code I'm writing, though I'll sometimes use them for more meta questions (like how to get some tool to do some specific thing).
But it is interesting in that someone could post a code blurb that they didn't own in the first place and now stack exchange will go forward acting as if they do own it. I wonder if that will eventually be their downfall because it seems like a situation that could even be baited deliberately. Hell, they could even already have fraudulent cases tried and/or settled.
dont talk if you dont know buddy
