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.

We switch to local meeting spots and pass around flashdrives of weekly memes. Refer to your local memester to turn in your flashdrive for a new weekly updated meme drive.
I need to open a meme truck.
That was unironically my take when AI bots started taking over the internet forums.
I even said to a friend, people will start to go back to small closed communities or groups where everybody knows each other, and everybody knows no AI crap will be shared in those groups. Local art will be more valuable because we know for sure that it's human made and someone put real effort on it.
Mainstream media will be always prone to be AI poisoned.
In many cases, it's easier to have an online culture with an anti-AI policy than a local one. A bunch of people already insist on using AI when interacting with others irl, and many more are passively supportive of them doing so. (i.e. "they don't care", but in a very different way from how "they don't care" about someone eating vegan).
So an online group that has persistent identities where it's hard to get a new account with a good status whose culture opposes AI is going to be much easier to keep AI-free than your local neighborhood third space.
Right, like how heavily Lemmy hates AI but then I see AI generated memes or shitposts constantly?
Lemmy doesn't have an anti-AI policy. It has people that hate AI, and some communities have rules that forbid AI in some contexts, but any instance federated with db0 is at the very least tolerant of AI.
Honestly, I'll probably go back to that, it felt safer.
It will be like the before times when memes were passed by photocopiers
