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.

Its gonna be alright mang. Internet friends are intimate friends. If you are looking for any advice, save any energy you were going to put into trying to deal with the situation and redeeming reddit into this new place.
The coolest people on the internet are the ones going to the new thing. The first 1% to arrive are the ones likely making the content, making the platforms, building the culture. Once it gets to 5%, the culture take holds and it becomes a place, once it passes 20%, it quickly becomes mainstream, and the 1% are likely looking to dip, because its entered the geometric phase of growth. Before you know it, its at 60% and the cool kids have moved on.
A philosophy of non-attachment might help here, because this seems to be the way of things. From CL discussion boards, to SA, to newgrounds, Fark, Digg, tumblr, FB, insta, reddit, tiktok..
Its a cycle. Its fine. New things are made possible through the death of old things. This too, in time, will pass.
Truth. I am grateful for all the random strangers out there throughout the years who have provided valuable insights on my posts seeking advice. We are strangers, so there's no bias whatsoever. They gave me the cold hard truth that I needed to hear, even if I didn't really realize it right away. It helps to have a complete stranger who knows nothing about me or what I've been through, a complete outsider, as they can provide a fresh and unbiased viewpoint on the situation at hand.
Also, I am checking out the song!
