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.

I deleted my 12 year old Reddit account, and I’m here. I still go there, but spend minutes rather that hours. I tried Hacker News, but some posts are really technical. I hope this is a new home.
I didn't delete my account because old reddit is still a thing but yeah, same. I probably spent around 3 hours a day on reddit. Now I'm down to about 20 minutes a week.
Yeah, the only way I end up on Reddit now is through a search engine. I'm not too proud to read an old post but I'm not going to stick around afterward.
Great thing about hacker news is they have actual paid mods that really keep things civil and prevent the forum from turning into a cesspool. Despite people proclaiming "hn is turning into reddit" every once in a while in past 12 years, the mods do a solid job and it hasn't turned into reddit yet. Whenever I visit hacker news there is a chance that I'd learn something new. It's a very valuable resource.
That being said, can't shitpost in hacker news. Posted a joke? RIP.
Yeah i just don't mesh with hacker news' userbase politically, the one thing I'm passionate about. I will read tech stuff there but they're just a bit too... Neoliberal? (My guess as the best broad term?). This, with a healthy dose of dunning-kruger from people at the top of their field, keeps me lurking
