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.

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.

Now you’re all infected too.
I never got the motivation this "otherwise benevolent superintelligence" would have to behave like this. There seems to be absolutely no benefit whatsoever that could be derived retroactively punishing people for not working on it (hard enough). Whether or not it does is immaterial to the motivation of those who were convinced it might.
Also, focusing on one possible future scenario and completely ordering your life around it seems, like, dumb.

I wish the US knew how to protest
Teach us the ways. Just remember though, the US is quite large geographically and the cities are pretty spread out.
Just remember though, that excuse didn’t matter during the WoT or 1% protests, Americans were able to gather in huge numbers and coordinate globally.
But somehow in the last 10 years America has physically elongated until those distances that were doable before are now the biggest barrier to stopping literal fascism.
Please stop repeating this self defeating myth.
Are you saying World Trade Organization protests? I lived in Seattle during that time. I think protesting is good, but this is a takeover of our government. I know that it's giving the fascists what they want, but I do feel defeated this time around. We barely got him out last time and he cheated his way back in legally or he got his minions to do it illegally.
I'm focusing on helping my community members first this time and being a support system to anyone I can. I'm also trying to post media about actual facts and none of the hyperbole that is his firehose of taking over the media.
“The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”
So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.
“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”
War on Terror, the global US born protest against the bullshit invasions following 9/11.
So if you can’t keep him out legally, and he’s taking away your legal options anyway…
Hey what are your amendments again?
War on Terror, the global US born protest against the bullshit invasions following 9/11.
I don't mean to make you feel bad about this, but our protests weren't that loud over here. Mostly because people convinced the populace that they had WMD's. I was young and stupid and believed in our government.
Hey what are your amendments again?
Have you seen our police force? They have tanks and usually the option to shoot to kill. I know there are some to risk everything to against this regime, but they're not the ones that are going to help the situation. They'll just get mowed down. A financial hit to our economy is the only thing that will wake up the people who will do anything about this. Right now, they think that they're the ones that won't be hurt.
Did the tanks stop Luigi?
Sorry, I’m just tired. It seems like every time Americans talk there’s a million excuses for why they can’t clean up their own mess and instead we all have to wait until this spills into WW3 or something.

The atomization of the citizens have had decades to fester in the US.
Single family houses, car dependent infrastructure, lack of private communications will all move people away from forming groups, and make it more difficult to organize.
Living in an apartment makes it easier to form a small group of common interests, you meet other people in similar situations, have ready access to private areas to discuss sensitive subjects, same goes for public transport.
Once a small group has been established, it is far easier to keep it going, than to establish a new group.
And once you have a group it is far easier to organize protests.

I love all these. But what I particularly love is that there are three really clever ones and the fourth is like, fuck it, let's just call him a bellend.
My favorite part about UK English is that a lot of words are an insult, of course you wouldn't know that you donut.
A complete pillock
Utter ninny

Because Reddit has chosen the wrong side of history.
Just like multiple German companies did when Hitler and his fascists rose to power.
White power steering is hilarious. Who ever made these is great
It'd probably because Huffman/Spez is a Musk wannabe.
Reddit is run by Nazi collaborators.
If you can't post innocuous things like this to reddit, what is even the point of going there? That site went downhill extremely fast. Good, fuck reddit!

I love the juxtaposition between the well thought out slogans and then just calling him a bellend.
Not sure what this is about
Not sure what this is about
If I were to give them the biggest empathy I can muster, they may just remove it as silently as possible out of fear of having to moderate the comments of bound-to-be popular post according to reddit's increasingly stupid rules of discourse.
Still unjustified censorship, very worrysome - but I could on an emotional level understand being fed up with everything at this point and just powertripping because "fuck everything, I don't want to deal with anything like this, I am not getting paid enough/at all".
Fair. They're volunteers, and they've given a lot to their sub so may want to keep it going in the chaos. They could be at work and just not have time to manage comments breaking the new stupid rules

Reddit is going from bad to worse damn
I love that its "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi ... Bellend"
FYI, bellend is like dickhead.
Elon Musk is a terrible human being. I can't believe we are living in this timeline.
The worst part about all this is knowing that the power really does rest with the people, we're just too stupid and divided to utilize it.
This was all so comically easy to avoid.
But our society is so comically stupid that we didn't.
Never thought Reddit is so shady.
- I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like "fox news" as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
- Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
- 7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
- ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)
had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.
Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people

I am a Reddit refugee aswel. The moderators over there are way too petty. They removed countless posts from me for totally unclear reasons.

"white power steering" that's brilliant(ly depressingly accurate)
I did Nazi that coming.
For decades, the Woke Left has complained that we live in a bifurcated society of privileged middle class professionals and trod upon lower class manual laborers. But Donald Trump is resolving the contradiction. Now everyone gets to enjoy the hyper-surveillance, the stochastic violence, and the suffocating revanchist propaganda once reserved for poor people.
