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.

It's self hosted plus open source, or barbarism.
You think... "Y sucks, I'm switching to Z".
But Z just is biding its time till it can be Y. The most principled owners in existence have a finite life span. It is only a matter of time till the vultures put their claws into anything.
Gabe is gonna die, steam is gonna be fucked. We should have all started with Good Old Games. But we didn't. But it's not to late to switch. To be free with your software. Don't be like me, wishing you had been smarter before.
It's okay, better now then never.
In the case of steam and gog, steam was around a lot longer before gog. I only purchase what I must on steam, and if it's available on both I always purchase from gog. They more align with my values. But valve from my point of view is such a prosumer business I don't mind. But you're right. When Gabe goes, I'm willing to bet some cock sucker ceo from oracle or ibm will swoop in and fuck the whole thing up.
