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.

I got banned for saying that I wish Marjorie Taylor green would trip and swallow her own head. I was inciting violence apparently. I had a 13 year old account :/ I appealed and they said there was no error, I was basically a terrorist.
I have a suspicion that Reddit's anti evil operations team is basically a bunch of low wage workers with very rudimentary English skills who don't understand or even look at any sort of context.
I had accounts banned for the absolute dumbest and most mundane things. Hell, even pop culture references can get you perma-banned and the appeal rejected. Meanwhile, you report literal calls for genocide or violence and you get a message that the reported content didn't violate their terms of service.
It's a complete clown show at this point.
Yeah I gave up. Felt not worth it at this point. I miss it, but it’s such a bot farm propaganda machine in so many ways that it’s probably best left in the bin with Facebook.
They cannot understand the English language or how punctuation can change meaning at all.
I have been told by long time reddit users like you that in the past you could make an appeal that would actually be considered. But now it seems that "appeals" are just automatically deleted with no Admin ever even looking at them. In your case you were making a joke and not actually calling for violence. You should have been able to say "I apologize, I was joking" and then maybe be banned for a week or a month. Ironically as traditional media is shrinking and social media platforms are growing but reddit has no problem banning many of their long term users.
The response to my appeal was that it was a human looking at it, but that’s what I would say if I was writing a script to ignore appeals.
Haha. Im not alone! A very similar thing happened to me, except I said that Trump needs a metal-bikini-clad dancing girl to strangle him with her chain. Perma ban. Same appeal. Same result. Maybe they're not Star Wars fans.
Anyway, now I have lemmy and I think I prefer it.
Listen peon, we've got SLAs to meet with the language data purchaser, and your organic conversation stunt will not taint the product if we have any say in it. Return to your oar! Fix your loincloth too...
