I’m excited to see a bunch of 16 year old with no relationship experience tell everyone the obvious choice is to break up
Lol maybe in a smaller, more moderated space we can see a difference?
That's not fair.
Wait, my bad, I was thinking about something else.
That's definitely fair, and accurate.
I'll indeed try to come up with some strategies to reduce the number of uninspired "just break up" comments. Though our goal isn't silencing users, even if naive or young. We shall see how it goes :D
I know communities like these can get a little silly and they’re easy to make fun of, but they really do serve an important purpose, IMO. The number of people who have to be told that it’s not normal for your partner to scream at you, or that no, your partner actually isn’t a great person if they do fill in the blank is really sad to me. And for every person asking, there are certainly more lurking that can also benefit from reading that. They might have to wade through a bunch of nonsense and AI-generated stories to find it, but I’m glad there’s a place for it.
I deeply agree. Thanks for your words and support.
I'm 34 have a shitload of experience and I also advise that most of the times.
Now I can eat popcorn while watching some couple's life burn to the ground around them, but without the icky feeling (from supporting Spez's empire, that is).
All posts must be a request for advice.
Hope this rule gets applied to posts that pretend to be looking for advice but are really just seeking validation. People complain about the advice always being to break up, but IMO this is the bigger issue which keeps me away from all of the advice subreddits.
may this be better than the one on reddit, where half the posts are "you gotta break up now"!
Great! Though I do admit on the previous relationship_advice sub the only thing I did was to try and guess if something was a legit question for advice or just a creative / drama writing exercise ...

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
