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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
I am impressed at the level that this man (allegedly) scared the ruling class. I think they're making a critical mistake though in assuming that these types of crackdowns combined with a spiraling economy won't just make people who are even more desperate and motivated.
Before Luigi, people who violently lashed out at the system usually targeted colleagues as a way to express frustration or disenfranchised groups as a way to mark a difference in social standing. Generally, these people have been criticized by the public and rightfully so.
Now, there is a target for this group of people that will get praise by the public at large and it is freaking them out. At worst, they expected that the event would be treated as a murder. That Luigi is being celebrated as a folk hero means the next violent gun man is far more likely to target them.
We should use this as a chance to spread the word about lemmy.... "Lots of Mario Bros related content on lemmy" or something to that effect.
What the fuck is their problem with Luigi? He's the most underrated Super Mario Bros character.
/r/kitchenconfidential is based and one of the few subs I really miss since I came here.
Fuck reddit! If the comment isn't an overt call to violence let the user base upvote or downvote the comment as moderation. These are only words and we pay them too much credence. This is exactly why I left. You can barely have a thought there without the thought police banning you for some vague interpretation of the rules now. Fuck these pussies that whinge at every little vague threat and defend the literal demon billionaire class.
Nintendo really needs to step in here. 🔨
How about that hat, but in Minecraft.
Saying without saying is still saying. Reddit mods may be stupid, but not that stupid.
Do you think you can trick the rules by just prefacing everything with "I am not say, that..."
But is even mentioning Luigi against the rules? Do reddit rules ban the mention of any murderer (and he's not even convicted), like Gacy or the Menendez brothers, or just ones that killed a millionaire?
Truth is tech bros like pigboy steve don't want to be reminded that they're giant pieces of shit, so of course they don't have consistent rules.
Sure, but all of the double speak and dancing around words that the right does goes unpunished on the site.
Get with the times, man. You gotta say “in Minecraft” afterwards, and then it’s kosher.
