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.

Hahaha GTFO you trying to claim the previous mods were experts?
Lots of both bad moderators and bad moderation to go around, however:
and
In contrast, in the case of this latest shakeup, mods are appointed, have no attachment to the community or the subject matter, let alone to the way things were done before. Further, this has happened mostly on major subs and very quickly, which didn't leave time for alternative communities to organically form to accommodate the departing user base.
The power tripping mods didn't leave or care. The ones who built communities were the ones who need tools on their phone to mod
They had tools to help them that reddit took away. They also kicked the mods that actually cared about the communities they moderated. They were replaced by people who simply wanted the job of moderator despite the mistreatment of previous mods.
They were no experts but there was a lot of experience and goodwill in the moderation of the various communities that was simply wiped out for the sake of profit.
