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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I think you're mistaking socialist critique for right wing. I've done that myself in the past. I automatically assumed that people critical of centrist or liberal politics are rabid right wingers. Turns out people from the left also criticize those politics. Throughout most of my life such criticism always came from right, so I used to assume it's coming from right wing nuts. If you don't ask any questions about why, the single-sentence critique can look identical. E.g. "Democrats are hot garbage." But if you ask why, it often turns out the reasoning and the proposed solutions are quite different. E.g. workers in the US are struggling. A right wing nut might want to get rid of government to solve that. A socialist might want to strengthen labor unions, tax the rich and nationalize healthcare. They both think the Democrats are shit since the party is doing neither. People from .ml are overwhelmingly comrades criticising from the left. In fact .ml stands for Marxist-Leninist.
