That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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.

Worst part was, it was all really civil I thought. Like, "Hey, this sounds like X but it might be Y"
Turns out the dude was a piece of shit, but still... While I consider myself pretty left leaning, I also like to make sure I've got my fingers pointing in the right direction. Call the piece of shit out for cases where they are without a doubt being a piece of shit. Not for areas where there some room for personal interpretation.
But according to some mods, we should just blast people over anything regardless of verifiability. And trying to further explain the dangers of enforcing nonsense like they're doing is apparently considered harassment.
Their approach:
Me: Appalling the ban, stating the nuance of the post.
Mods: "No, don't contact us again."
Me: Huh? But this, though...
Mods: "No, contact us again and we'll report you for harassment"
Me: I'm all for pointing fingers, but this is dangerous...
"We're muting you now, and also reporting you for harassment"
Reddit admins: "How dare you harass the mods with civil conversation! 7 day ban!"
Me: Appealing Reddit ban, stating the only harassment thus far has been from the mods. Show me where I was harassing.
Human admin: Nope, harassment. Ban staying.
Meanwhile, conspiracy, conservative, and canada subreddits continue to exist no prob...
Reddit can't die soon enough. It's clear that the site is compromised big time.
