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 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 can't remember which one, but there were a couple filled with crypto millionaire-wannabes with a libertarian slant that would share tips that always seemed off. And people in the comments would be so sure that THIS time it would be the big break if people just "hodl" or shorted a stock but were literally thousands in debt for investing everything in Truth Social. It wasn't r/wallstreetbets but it rose shortly after r/thedonald fell. That's all I remember because it felt like staring into the sun. *shudder*
Also r/detrans. What an enormous shithole full of people with awful takes and a conscious stream of hate. It had a huge slant against science and parroted misinfo about the human body and society, always punching down on trans folks, though they pretended not to. I know a few of them were detransitioners, but I'm convinced that the entire sub was planted by some conservatwat to rally hate.
the userbase of r/detrans prolly consists of actual detransitioners to the same extent that the userbase of r/teenagers consists of actual teenagers.
I remember hearing that r/teenagers is people under 13 or pdf files (ifyky)
That's what I used to think until a few of them shared their pictures and stories and they sounded believable so I don't think it was all fake. But that's all you need, right, just a couple of voices to point to, to seem justified in that ridiculous crusade.
right. it's not all fake, but the size of the sub is wildly disproportionate to the statistics we have on detransitioners (some of whom will ultimately choose to transition again, which is not reflected by the stats).
If they are disrespecting big L
Insane they are investing in a far right social media and losing money yeah they are filled with the most racist stuff ever
