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.

Despite the API protests, the Official Reddit app sucks anyways. It uses a ton more data and battery than third party apps, so I'd never use it again. The app also has a bunch of tracking built in.
It also stutters like mad even on high end phones. I almost feel like making it work well would have required less effort. No idea why dozens of indie developers all did far better jobs.
I didn't even realize how much battery it used until I uninstalled it. I used to have to charge my phone like 2 to 3 times a day... Thought, well, it's getting older, battery is just dying. Nope. Uninstalled it and I'm 10 hours into the day off the charger and at 81% battery. And I'm still dicking around on my phone just as much, it's just in jerboa now... Lol
