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.

Yep I bailed. Might post one last thing that will definitely get me banned but I saw the “rule” and immediately came to open a new account here.. fuck Reddit.
They really expanded their banning too. My ten year old account got banned for telling a guy that was defending the third Nazi salute to "go to hell". Was banned and then had the appeal just confirm the ban.
New account basically uses your Internet footprint to ban any accounts you make. I could get around it but it just is not fucking worth it at that point.
If they want to keep Nazis on their platform and ban the people that tell them to go to hell Reddit will be like 4chan quickly.
Hell, I feel every website is becoming 4chan these days. Twitter and Facebook are cesspools. Fuck reddit.
I got banned today cuz some dude DMd me that he would hang himself, I send him a reddit care message and blocked him, I got banned for three days (they cited the care message) for harrassment, I appealed and was like bro reddit admin, they literally wrote me they would hang themselves how is me using reddit care harrassment and then they permanently banned me. Actually insane. My account had like 60k karma and was 7 years old. Reddit can go to hell.
Lmao banning the first person to actually use that for its intended purpose. Why even have it.
I mean Im like 99% sure the dude wrote it ironically but how is it my job to figure that out and how would the reddit admins know. Tbf he wrote he would hang himself in german so they probably didnt even bother google translating it and gave me the three day ban cuz admin had a bad day or whatever. What rlly pisses me off is that me appealing got me perma banned. WTF is up with that.
I have an account with like 130k karma in only a year with no post or comment karma farming, just pure gains, and I got banned for a stupid reason from a sub, so I tried ban evading and got every account suspended for a week from any kind of engagement. Username very relevant, I fucking hate reddit man. Gotta support literally any site that isn't reddit to get some kind of competition
It’s better here anyways.
Same. Redditor for years. Autobanned without appeal. Need more independent platforms like this outside the US.
Yeah it just sucks that the social media bubbles get smaller and smaller, I dont rlly wanna create my own bubble with ppl I agree with, I wanna argue with ppl I disagree with (or at least see what they are saying). Reddit was good while it lasted but damn it went down hill and I am sure it will get worse as well.
Try Usenet then.

I heard that reporting feature of people "self-harm" is abused alot so reddit now bans people for "Allegedely abusing that button", i rarely get DMed, because often block people at the same time im reporting them to avoid them contacting me.
Yeah I get that but like I did not abuse the feature. I rarely got DMd as well the guy was just rlly mad at me cuz I told him that equivocating left and right extremism (in germany) is stupid. Then the guy DMd me to tell me he would find me to punch me in the face and when I wasnt rlly impressed he said something about hanging himself. I didnt even explicitly insult him LOL. Given, I wasnt rlly nice either.
