That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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 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.

r/IAmA is really coming full circle
That is an understatement. I'm a former mod of r/iama (u/Brownboy13) and I was signing on to handle a high profile ama when Victoria messaged that she wouldn't be able to help us as she was let go without notice. Admin didn't even bother informing the guest that the employee handholding them through the process would no longer be available. We were caught entirely off guard and I don't think /r/iama has ever been the same. There was a level of trust the /u/chooter would be in the same room as a guest or at least on a call and make sure it was them answering and not pr teams. It's been like fucking pr junket since then.
This was the start of my disillusionment with reddit, and it seems to have been finalized with this last shitshow of a decision.
Would you be interested in running a new version of iAMA on Lemmy?
No, thank you. I'm done with putting in volunteer effort for these kinds of things. I transitioned to mostly lurking on reddit, and I'm likely to remain that way here as well. Modding requires too much of a time and effort commitment for something that I'll have nothing to show for depending on the whim of others.
Completely understandable. Thanks for the mod work you previously did. It's a shame reddit happily took your good will, time and effort only to basically kick you in the nuts as reward.
