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 was banned from Reddit for allegedly promoting "hate".
Story: There was post about convicted criminals being send bacl to Afghanistan and that they were released there and are, in fact, not in prison. After a little discussion if that is good or bad i wrote that imho the cutural background CAN be a factor for not fitting well into western society. Backed by the fact that there are people considered criminals here in Germany but not in Afghanistan. I also wrote in a follow up comment that i don't see any culture as better or worse baseline...only that there are some that CAN crash with western worldview.
That got me banned and my appeal, stating that i didn't sold my opinion as a fact is being ignored.
The really sad thing is that i made the mistake of engaging a political topic online and it seems that mistake is iredeemable in the eyes of some faceless Reddit mod. I srsly liked it there for my interests in the other communities.
So now i found Lemmy.World and hope to can engage in the same stuff as there....except for the hot topics of politics....
