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.

Glad to see this being acknowledged/making the rounds. I highlighted some of this in my own mod resignation post (not to pat myself too hard on the back here), as have other members of the mod team I was a part of. The changes are bad, but the complete disregard for (and dismissal of) this relationship mods and Reddit crafted for over 15 years just came crumbling down. No matter what the future holds for the site, that relationship is dead. And many of us don’t want to mod under the new circumstances.
Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed Reddit prior to the API-apocalypse. I appreciated all of you guys and gals over there keeping things structured and orderly. I came from Slashdot to Digg to Reddit and now Lemmy. Really enjoying it here but there’s always that thought in the back of my mind of hoping it doesn’t grow to the scope of Reddit.
Right now, we seem to have a lot of technical folks who contribute. Far less fighting and drama. It’s been nice. lol
Appreciate that. It’s a bummer but on to greener pastures!
Hey hello. I made my first “resignation” post last night. I haven’t had time to properly untangle everything yet but im here now.
Have I seen you around modcoord server? Your profile pic is familiar haha
Uh yeah you could say that.
Oddly cryptic but ok lol
Sorry about that. Yes I’m a mod of the sub and discord.
Ahh that’d make sense haha. I’m terrible with usernames.
