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.

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.

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.

TF is BeReal? Never heard of it
It's a relatively new social media app. Once a day you have 2 minute timer where you can take a picture. All your friends post at the same time.
The idea is that you post what you do at the moment without prepering much. You don't post the best pics or try to pretend that lots of intresting stuff happens in your life, but what you actually do in the moment.
The problem is monetisation. You don't use the app much longer than a minute a day and it doesn't have any ads. So I don't know how low they're able to do this without shutting down
And if you don't have any friends IRL that use it, it's pretty boring
Sounds like an excellent idea for some top-notch data farming.
That can be said about any app.
Unprepared pictures are a treasure trove for behavioural analysis tho
That's only true when they are truly unprepared. What actually happens is that people just take a prepared shot in the moment. You usually have a big enough time window anyway and you can submit late.
Well that sounds somewhat less bad tho, just… also less fun 😅
It's actually more fun. You also get rewarded with two extra pictures you can take whenever you want if you post on time and get blamed when you post a late by telling everyone you were late and how much you were late.
It’s 99% people sitting in front of a computer
Or lying in bed
