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 don’t think this will move the needle at all
Reddit mods had a chance to migrate but decided to sit and wait thinking they could change Reddit
It's not about the needle, it's about how Reddit acts during its death throes.
Reddit can't make money unless they monetize every user in every way possible, including selling their personal data if they have it. The API garbage was an attempt to monetize users in ways even their own app doesn't, and also an admission that advertising isn't paying the bills, or they would have just started advertising through the API.
So now we're seeing how Reddit behaves once they realize that charging for API access doesn't work. They will sell everyone and everything until they shut down.
People should have assumed they were before
I know tons of mods that left reddit and are on lemmy instances now. Had a chance to migrate? what does that even fucking mean, we can't bring subreddits over. we can't hold a gun to the subreddit population and say "goto lemmy now" and most of us were locked out by reddit for shuttering our subreddits anyway, and replaced with scabs.
Explain yourself for this shit take.
When the big subs had their vacations they had to put their lemmy instance (or other place of migration) on the page
Hence the lost their chance
Yeah it.should have been done on day 1
So it's mods fault reddit went all musk? get fucked
It’s the fault of mods who tried shutting down subs instead of moving people
Anyone with a brain would know shutting down a sub would just see them being replaced so the ones doing that were just providing scapegoat outrage to keep people on Reddit
Nah, they just don't want to lose their god given right (and status) to be volunteer mods of reddits.
