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 can definitely get annoyed by how black and white everything always has to be on the internet.
Can I be upset that Reddit is killing my 3rd party app? Absolutely Can I also realise that Reddit is not a charity and that in this economy, they are no longer going to subsidize 3rd party app developers? Absolutely
Like, I left Reddit because I think their official app sucks balls. I had a 3rd party app I loved. I'm upset. But it's also weird to see Meta, Alphabet, Spotify, Amazon, etc. lay off their staff and at the same time expect Reddit to willingly hand their content over for free to 3rd party apps.
I'm upset but I'm not naïve.
Yeah, but their content relies on so much unpaid labor. The other big sites have paid mods. This has essentially become a labor dispute.
There is a middle ground between "free" and "prohibitively expensive". Reddit did not choose it. This was about killing the apps that their users preferred.
