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.

That makes more sense to me than both idealistic community builders or no-life narcissists, which are the two most common ways I've seen mods characterized.
considering how many of the subs are.... controlled by a relative handful of mods... lets call them 'super mods'... chances are very solid they spend a great deal of their time modding. Which means... they probably earn money from it.
or... they walk dogs.
(edit to be clear, I'm only talking about the ones where you see 'moderator of' listing dozens of communities.)
At least one of the super mods (turtle) joined the protest, which I thought was really interesting. I'm not sure if she fell out with administration, or she was never paid in the first place.
most of the time by squashing alternative points of view
Precisely, they are sharing it by preventing opposition to their ideas and goals
Or people like Ghislaine Maxwell, aka /u/maxwellhill. People forgot. I didn't.
