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
a weird positive tone
Oh
unnecessarily professional
Oh no
a summary or “but you should check with an authority figure” Oh god no
Bulleted lists
Well, I’m often 3 for 4 on the AI checklist
Yeah, I kinda was feeling the same way. I also do the numbering and bullet points thing too bc it helps me organize what I'm trying to say as I type, and I prefer it in general when I read longer walls of text bc it helps me stay focused.
Reddit and most of the internet has definitely become just one big hub for advertising, but it's also led to some cases where I've genuinely been left unable to tell If I was talking with a bot, a troll, or even just a human without an agenda who was making an argument in a bot/troll like way to prove their point.
There used to be times where I would start typing something like "what are you 15?" then realize, yeah they probably are 15 so why tf are you arguing with this person? Time to log off.
Now it's like a possibility of: 15 year old/edeglord, a troll farm paid by a foreign government/ or possibly even my own government, advanced bot, or someone who just has a similar style of writing.
There have definitely been times where it's left me thinking way too much about the deeper meaning of being human, and the question of free will. That is usually my cue these days that it's time to log off and touch grass.
So,
Am I gonna be flagged as a bot every time I write as if the reader's an adult?
I’d totally be flagged as AI if I were in academia these days.
