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.

you know the drill folks: deny the parasite engagement, seed fedi with discussion.
corpo parasite took the shit poster for granted for too long.
Or... Create accounts on reddit but never use them. That's gotta bring down number of active users in the long term.
I gotta admit I just discovered Reddit few weeks ago that I spend a bit more time there. Before it was only from Google results when needed.
I don’t know how it was before, but it feels pretty decent now. I don’t have a comparison.
Will be hard to leave Reddit now haha 🙄
Think about this:
Literally all the value of Reddit comes from the users, and most of the moderation comes from volunteers.
That is, everything that made Reddit useful was provided for free.
Now those jackanapes think they're entitled to create money based on the free labor of millions of people. And what makes that more infuriating is they had the gall to call those volunteers "landed gentry".
I mean, that is an obvious bullshit, but I thought there’s something else going on there that makes it shit place nowadays.
I mean - capitalism… of course it’s looking to exploit… they couldn’t be content with the ad revenue…
it was way better before, especially they dint force the New UI, you can still use the OLD.reddit feature, which makes it easier to navigate the site. the infinite scroll feature that most social media has now, is not good at all, its also gets very buggy and laggy(if your using it on mobile browser). Also there have been significant ban/purges in the last few months and many accounts were banned. alot of innocent users have been caught in the crossfire, additionally, in my opinion its pretty hostile to new users too, because subreddits have UPPed thier anti-ban evasion ,spam filter, even to the point it harms new users.
remember this comment when you figure out why reddit is fucked haha
prolly under 3 months if you are going to engage on there.
if they can even post/comment as a new user
I'm hearing new users are having a hard time doing that, even if they are not vpn, ban evading or shielding their online metrics from reddit. The spam filter is so aggressive that you can be banned very easily
Actually it turns out my account is 3 years old lol but I started to read it properly few weeks back.
I’m curious to understand it more.
In the meantime I’m exploring Fediverse too 😁
