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 don't think I've ever experienced any spam ever in my Reddit inbox in the 14 years I've been on it. What sort of stuff do you get?
Not the guy, but a fun little side story about my reddit account is that probably multiple years ago someone tagged my username in a cryptocurrency sub or thread or something and then deleted the area I was tagged in which left me with a notification I was unable to clear or even view afterwards.
Something similar to this happened to me. Saved a comment in a sub that I no longer care for, but the comment was deleted or removed later. Now my saved feed has a blank comment from a deleted username but it's still linked to that sub. Cannot unsave it.
I got more spam Feb-June of this year on Reddit that I did in the previous 15 years. It was almost 100% only fans spam accounts too.
You're probably using old Reddit, aren't you? The difference between old Reddit and new Reddit and the Reddit app are night and day in terms of spam.
Correct, I'm not an imbecile!
The Reddit app is genuinely awful. When I saw people saying it was bad I figured they might have been exaggerating, but no, it's terrible.
I've gotten "invited to join" several subs. When I look to see what the subs are, they are just places trying to market something. I never got any spam in my inbox before the Reddit shakeup.
