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.

Yeah, this right here is why Lemmy will never take off, this place is toxic as hell thanks to the tankies.
if only there was a way for admins of an instance to block federation with certain instances, we could call it "unconnecting"
Like it or not, the average person still sees Lemmy as a mostly homogenous platform. If they see “lemmy is full of tankies”, it’s not a good look. They don’t know how defederation works.
Gab and Truth.social are forks of Mastodon, but I don't see "Mastodon is full of alt-right garbage people" as an argument against using it anywhere. probably because they're unconnected from everyone else.
they are forks, lemmygrad, hexbear are integrated with many major lemmy instances

Yeah, its not just the Tankies that make Lemmy so toxic. Unfortunately.
It's problematic for Lemmy that the .ml instance gives the impression of a flagship instance since it's run by the devs. It gives the fediverse as a whole a bad look to outsiders. I speak from experience because it was one of the three recommended to me before I left Reddit.

Have the posts grad is full of bothered you recently? You know, there's a reason why not.
ML definitely has some tankies, not all, but some of the people there are lemmygradesque
Yep. And the good new is that you can block that one too.
blocking doesnt block users on most UIs, only communities
The secret is to engage them until they block you;)
These are egg shells the moment their copy paste bullshit gets picked a part as misinformation
My experience before blocking it was that most people there are real honest Marxists that are eager to participate in serious arguments.
They just don't believe in empiricism, logic, or coherence. They believe in the line.
Anyway, I never managed go be blocked, I just got a series of incredibly weird arguments.
Yes, they have, they just moved to lemmy.ml.
