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.

Okay, I just mean when you say:
It came off like you were saying a user simply had to log onto lemmy instead of reddit which they are too lazy to do.
For most people, minor inconveniences like "oh no, my sopranos doesn't have politics any more!" Or "oh no, I have to use a new app!" are trivial compared to the hassle of growing an entirely new social media ecosystem.
Yes, it has always been a death of a thousand papercuts, like with fascism. By the time you realize how bad it's gotten and decide to take action, it has become harder than ever.
I think equating everything to fascism is partially how we got into the current mess but to each their own!
Like, the first Voat exodus kids also decried fascism because they couldn't be horrifically racist anymore. By your theory, everyone should have left and built a new community in Voat which would have been terrible.
I wasn't equating, I was making an analogy to the way people are passive about an worsening situation.
The problem with voat was that is was a non federated freeze peach nazi bar, so no, this would not be according to my theory
Yes. So to some, the worsening situation was back whenever the Voat exodus was.
To you, it's now.
To others, there's a barely perceptible difference. "Oh, I had to get a new app?"
Fascism is VERY different. There are clear signs, clear dangers and serious threats. Fascism requires people to act to save others. A social media website getting less good is vastly different. (Also, stopping it in the US was way easier than creating a new social media ecosystem, people just had to vote for the non sketchy party.)
