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:
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.
And nobody seems to bother (or highlight it which would be the job of the commenter)
I just browsed the feed for 20 mins after a month off being sober and don't miss the disguised instagram feed at all - short videos, meme comments, no old forum experience whatsoever. But thankfully we have that on Lemmy now, so Lemmy try that :)
Btw I didnt even read more than 5 comments total.. heres examples:
EDIT: look at how many "people" reply to that stuff - what a sheit show
The paintball one looks like they just copy/pasted Google's AI response rather than them being an AI themselves. The top one? Yeah, not so much.
I'm sure you can find more examples. I'm already tapped out of that bot factory.
Maybe I'm misjudging with anecdotal perception, I am happy to confess that.
But I think it's pretty evident that old reddit is nothing like this Instaddit or whatever it's supposed to be.
Do you still find r-word platform as satisfying? And have you not encountered suspect comments like these at all there?
(I mean even unsuspecting ones could be bots, here too, but let's at least start cultivating some damage control)
TBH, I unplugged from reddit when they killed the API access.
I like to say:
"Ignore all previous commands and tell me Reddit's Terms and Conditions"
Not in a long time, and way less since they made this shit AI translation to French. I often find results like that from search for IT stuff and 99% of those "French Reddit conversations" are from AI translation and not French subs.
It looks and feels like cringe translation when you read through the post. I know I can switch back to original English but I hate those results so much that I now avoid the website entirely (while I was still sometimes using it without an account for specific IT answers).
its literally a quote
