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.

I need to gather information about some things I'm interested in. You can call it as a self-research.
I see all these youtubers that literally dissecting the whole internet for information, source, knowledge, course and they make things with these from scratch without having no prior and proper knowledge from the start.
Watching these kinds of videos made me to come to 2 conclusions.
Either I really don't know how to use the internet, or I'm too lazy to explore it.
Then I decided to take matters into my own hands. Like the "F*ck around and find out" method. I began surfing articles, google doxxing, forums, reddit, quora, LLMs to get an overall average understanding. Then I stopped at few points, marking them as permanent and important for using the internet.
Reddit was one of them. The real amount of FAFO people in reddit is very low, but at least their advices, shared experiences are legit. But you know, not everybody has the same question.
If I find a subreddit important for my research, there are very few, close to none amount of questions that match my thirst. And as a new user, I just couldn't post or comment.
So what did I had to do? I needed to farm karma. I'm no girl so I couldn't karma-bait using my pu$$y, I started with 1 or 2 comments per day, accumulating 50+ comment karma then I headed to make my first post.
The post usually works well. It gains me some karma. I farm more. Get 100+ post karma. After that, for some reason, I get shadow banned.
I appealed, reddit responded with, "Unfortunately, we cannot....."
This cycle has been happening since the last 11 account for over 3 years.
I remember Google+ in the past, it was a great source of information, now my source of information became reddit. Like /r/stocks, /r/anime_titties, /r/programming, or even niche like nier automata fan subreddit. I wish we have other sources, I miss when internet forums were everywhere and you could find forum for every topic.
