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.

MODERATORS
I saw it being denounced as a psyop which I thought was funny, since I think it pretty clearly isn't one. But directing people to lemmy.ml is bad advice as most of us know.

While I agree with the message, that the people should leave all centralized Social Media services, the big mistake here is concentrating a massive user-base on one instance (.ml) of one specific service (Lemmy) instead of spreading the influx towards many smaller, but still solid instances and federated services (PieFed, Mastodon, MBin).
Even disregarding .ml's reputation, if this post does reach a substantial user-base, the only thing happening then is .ml receiving a HoD and people losing faith in the Fediverse as a whole (e: spelling) due to this, sadly. :c
Edit different versions for different instances
Xit
i left yesterday after 12 years. joined lemmy. the internet was a lot cooler before it was run by billionaires and ass kissers who are intimidated by billionaires.
fuck em all
When you've settled in, consider joining a smaller instance! Just because it has "Lemmy" in the name doesn't mean it's official or good. We all federate together, so you can still join communities hosted on other instances.

Welcome, glad you could make it! I hope you find this to be a cool place.
For best results, subscribe to communities you want to have a dedicated feed for, and block communities, instances and users that aren't worth your time, since there is the occasional jerk like you might find anywhere on the internet.

They should really include the no ads thing. I think it's a great selling point, and it would be useful to leverage.
While this is true some instances do need donations it's very probable that some instances could include ads in the future.
Totally fair, but at the moment, there are none. And even if instances will start using 3rd party ads, there will also be instances that will never run ads. The power of federation at work.
I hope lemmy.ml is ready for the influx, particularly as this post linked them directly.
Hopefully NOT so it breaks and people go-to more sane instances
Think of your average redditor. They'll just think it's broken and go back to reddit.
Better than them going back to Reddit and thinking "Lemmy is just Tankies"
Like I've seen many times before

Having them pointed towards lemmy.ml is a little concerning.
More than a little concerning, it's happened plenty of times before. People see that BS on the Tankie Triad and then leave thinking Lemmy is just a bunch of tankies
Sometimes they try another non-Tankie instance and realize that we're not all like that, but I'm sure a majority never return always thinking that all of Lemmy is "that Tankie hangout" or worse, a Voat 2.0
I made an alternative linking to lemm.ee
because in general this is a good flyer

I'm not very into Lemmy, what's so bad about lemmy.ml?
It's controversial. It was created by the creators of Lemmy and has some techbro feelings about a lot of stuff. I'm not trying to start an .ml fight, I'm against pushing for any particular instance.
I would recommend new users to stay away from the biggest ones and steer towards one level down. You want enough communities and instances to line your front page, but the big ones are big enough. Let's spread the load.
I don't think you need any communities to line your front page until you get subscriptions going. I think going a level down from the biggest ones is still too big and will still lead to giant instances as they inevitably grow over time. Same with putting practically all the communities on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml.
That's concentrating a lot of people and content in a handful of places, and slightly-less-centralized is still effectively centralized. No instance admins should have that much power.

They're part of the Tankie Triad who deny the human rights violations of the CCP and hold them up as the gold standard.
Basically Authoritarian bootlickers pretending to not be authoritarians
We read and comprehend the Communist Manifesto with some level of agreement and usually quite a bit more. But it's mostly privacy focused. Full disclosure: vegan anarchist.
It's mostly Tankie focused, Tiananmen square massacre happened, and the CCP and Russia are Authoritarian dictatorships

I guess we can expect the amount of time it spends up to be counted in minutes..
And... it's gone.
Good, needs to be redone to remove lemmy.ml and put literally any other instance not in the Tankie Triad
