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.

A homeless guy had taken a hostage in my city. One commenter said "I hope this poor man gets the help he deserves". That comment was at -17. So I comment "Light em up boys" and I get like +30 because it's pretty funny. And that is a "call to violence" so I got perma'd.
Light em up boys? What did you mean by that? Did you reply to that comment, or as a top level response? Did you think you were being sarcastic?
That means that instead of giving that homeless person medical treatment they should just shoot him.
The wording, "light em up boys", refers to how cops might talk to each other and how the cops won't give the dude help they're definitely going to kill him. The entire joke implies I don't think he deserves help and instead he deserves to get gunned down in the street.
yeah go fuck yourself
No
Actually, in all honesty, I told my friends and they thought it was hilarious. I told my coworkers (we are all in our 30s) and they thought it was hilarious. It's not a horrific hateful thing, it's a joke and it's funny.
oh well if a fascist has fascist friends then they're not fascists I guess
" ha ha kill poor people ha ha wait don't ban me this is oppression I have friends!!! "
It seems Lemmy doesn't like it either.
The internet should have always been taken with a grain of salt, but nowadays half of society lives on the web and have made it into the shitshow it is now.
I was unemployed for a couple weeks and spent them on my phone wasting away time between interviews so to say, i lost touch of reality so quickly to the point where just being allowed to live your life had become alien to me. I currently work at a construction company and i've quickly realized you can still live your life even though people don't agree because they have no control over you.
The internet is a dangerous place
