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.

You fools it's supposed to contain them, now they are on the loose.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're out of their caves, god help us

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they're already gooning in my house! 😡

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Quick! Call the goon squad!

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 year ago (3 children)

For those who don't know, a "goon cave" is "an area or room dedicated to long masturbation sessions", or "gooning"

Republican investors have staying away until this key moment

Probably affects the ability for AI to recommend glue in pizza cheese.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Makes sense, I thought it was about goons (crime) or gooning (evil goon voice "what up, boss?", "Yes boss").

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There are multiple meanings. "Hired thug" is also one of them.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

fuckin hell. Why are so many weirdos on reddit?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

"The Web brings people together because no matter what kind of a twisted sexual mutant you happen to be, you've got millions of pals out there. Type in 'Find people that have sex with goats that are on fire'and the computer will say, 'Specify type of goat.'"

There are a lot of people on Reddit and Reddit makes it easy to organize by whatever degenerate interests someone may have, such as sharing their goon cave

arranging gooning meetups

What?

“Gooning is a flow state: an extended edging session marked by mindlessness, loss of control, and total surrender,”

I had to stop reading this shit. I can’t believe there’s an article about it. I guess 404 can go ahead and go bankrupt, fuck off.

Edit, to be fair, it was a quote from a Vice article.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

Just some gooning with the bois.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You read an article about gooning and you’re upset that you’ve now learned what gooning is???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The article is about reddit banning a community for no real reason with no option for recourse. My issue was I thought that was kind of an over the top description.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had to websearch the term to know what they were talking about. Pfft, internet oddities.

Case in point. At least some side is lying here; either the people from r/gooncaves or the Reddit administration. And given their modus operandi I'm placing my bets on the admins lying.

Frankly, at this rate someone might end suing Reddit for libel in those ban messages. I think that it deserves it.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just love that you found out what gooners were today and they seem more trustworthy than reddit admins

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Look man, gooners just wanna jack it in peace.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This is analog to the whole bear in a forest question and women. If it involves Reddit, it's bears, every single time.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is sooo Reddit to ban without any explanation. Not like i care about any community over there. Reddit can fuck itself.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

Reddit can fuck itself.

I thought that's what they banned

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

Sure, they take years to ban things like r/jailbait and all those fascist subs, but people with rooms to jerk off in a step too far.

I have zero interest one way or another in people who have the resources to devote a space to this, or the ego to want to share that space. It's a completely foreign interest to me. But to ban people on the internet for being sexual in a way you don't understand is equally beyond me.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Some go as far as to define themselves as ‘pornosexuals,’ people with a sexual preference for porn over real-life sex.”

Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

What is this? Joseph Gordon Levitt's hit movie 'Don Jon'?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So obviously I'm an idiot, I thought GoonCaves was the group people posted pictures of computer rooms overflowing with empty coke bottles, cigarette butts, fast food containers, and the occasional piss jug. What group am I thinking of?

EDIT: NeckbeardNests, that's what I was thinking of. Now see, that's just wholesome internet content.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Oh no. Anyways ...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lol, nothing of value was lost.

I miss r/Coomer though, it existed to mock and insult people who have a very unhealthy habit of masturbating and sexual addiction (particularly to lolicon). Like, fuck, sex and masturbating isn't bad on it's own but it shouldn't be your god damn identity.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Sure it has no value. But what ban it though? The beauty of the site was always its niche communities. Now r/all is Facebook with Strangers.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Fly high, Gooners.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Is that false flag operation r/AgainstHateSubreddits still operating?

Rip r/ChurchOfTheCurrentThing

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

noooo, that used to be my favorite subreddit to scroll with my husband and go "What the hell is wrong with these people!"

They had this great elitism about how a proper Goon setup needs as many monitors as possible, which is such an arbitrary thing to get hung up on when your hobby is watching porn all day. It was fascinating to watch!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

4 hour gooning sessions are over

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Thought it might have been related to Goon Bags - cask wine in Austraila.
