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.

"And as she looks upfront, she meets the eyes of her first love. Or of a wrinkled, bald version of him. The seventy four years spent together took a toll on his handsome looks.
The decades that they spent together also had their benefits, though. She didn't need to say anything - he knows that ice cream reminds her of when they started dating, and she knows that he knows.
And some things don't change. The smile that she sees on his face is still the same weird, goofy smile that she saw when she was still 18; he'd ride his bike all the way from the ice cream shop to her house, with two little servings. It is not a smile that you'd see in a magazine cover, it was a genuine smile of someone who's happy.
It's also the reason why she'd rather have her ice cream slightly melted. Her children always poked some light-hearted fun at that, saying stuff like "Mum would rather drink it than eat it."
From the corner of her eye, she can also see her grandson. He was also busy with some ice cream - but instead of eating it, he was feeding it to his own daughter.
She really liked it vanilla."
thank you ❤️
You're welcome! Frankly, I saw it like a cute writing prompt. (I agree with the main stuff that you said, by the way. We humans simply don't deal well with the flood of bad news out there.)
