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.

When we say dying, we mean dying as a useful and usable platform for us, the former reddit userbase. The Reddit Corporation is a different thing.
Yep. The quality of discourse, which had already been trending down for years, fell off a fucking cliff when they started actively chasing most people worth a damn off the site (w/ API, VPN policy, etc).
We also mean dying as a place where you can meet and have interesting conversations that even when heated invite you into learning and thinking differently.
Lack of limitless quantity of voices does little inherently to degrade the quality of conversation, though of lack of diversity certainly does.
I have met singular people on the fediverse that I have learned more from and that contain more powerful words than entire swaths of corporate social media. It isn't because normies suck it is that there is no oxygen in the room in those places like there is here and it leads a culture of constant self betrayal, and a feeling of ever present glare.
