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.

This kind of behavior is what got me to join Lemmy just now. (this is my first ever post in fact.)
I really wasn't even onboard with the boycott. I thought it was silly and pointless and was planning to just stay on reddit, but then he had to tantrum like a child and go against the very spirit and point of reddit in process.
So here I am. I haven't deleted my years old reddit account yet, but I probably will at this point. This lemmy federation thing seems like it will do quite nicely.
If you want to leave reddit with your middle finger held high, make sure to change all of your posts and comments to nonsense first, and then delete them. Then delete your account.

It can change all your comments to whatever you want eg "I've left Reddit for Lemmy"
Nah, I don't care.
Also, that seems like too much effort. Especially with thousands of comments over years. Probably 10s of thousands.
Don't forget to also sub other community's from other instances have a good time.
Don't delete your account, use

To delete all your comments (it exports them to a file for you) and you can ask the program to instead write in the comments whatever you want eg "because of the actions of Reddit execs I have moved to lem my"
I think 5hey may be deleting posts that mention the word "Lemmy"
That isn't really me. Besides, I'm thinking of a different approach.
