That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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.

I mostly left because I saw an abundance of bootlicking posts and comments, people dunking on mods for continuing the protest and saying that it doesn't concern them cause they don't use third-party apps. Granted, some of them might've been bots or payed, but a lot of frustration seemed genuine and fron real accounts, and it rubbed me the wrong way.
I really don't get it. I also used official app for years now and now I'm here and reddit is becoming a memory because how they treated it.
Same. I hadn't used a 3rd party reddit app in years, and I slowly watched as my reddit experience got worse and worse, but when they mishandled the whole situation it made me wonder why I'm sticking around.
Same. The app was shit, but I didn't want to bother with finding something else. I supported the protest but it was not enough for me to leave - their reaponse though, the strongarming of the mods and all the shitshow around me just made me snap. I was aware reddit is going down a bad path, but I was a frog being boiled. This made me realize it and thank god for that one guy on r/lotrmemes mentioning Lemmy as an alternative.
