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
Yeah, tell me about it. Unintentionally Reposting something should not get the user permanently banned, temporarily ban is more fair.
I got permanently banned for accidentally and unintentionally reposting something that was posted there before. I was a longtime member of that subreddit too! I got unfairly banned for a simple mistake. I tried to talk to the mods but they didn’t respond
No, a heads up is fair. Banning someone for any length of time for something they weren't even aware they were doing is fucked up, especially for something as harmless as reposting some funny meme.
Reddit mods are basically in the belief that they're Mao Zedong. When I created and ran a subreddit /r/treecomics way back in the day, I got accused of being too light on reposts. Like if it was within a couple days I would just remove it. Unless someone was constantly doing it, there's no harm. Lighten the fuck up people.
So glad I'm permabanned for saying that neonazis in my city should learn how to bite a curb.
I think if moderation is so intense that it has a chilling effect on the community, that's a big red flag. Sounds like you did it just right.
Yeah, same here. Some mods have let that power go to their heads. They permanently ban people who accidentally repost too early, people that have a different opinion about something and many others who didn’t do anything wrong.
