##SUBREDDIT RULES

1) Be excellent to each other
2) No witch hunts
3) No advertising or self promotion
4) No requests for assistance or fundraising allowed
5) No posts or comments threatening self harm
6) No NSFW imagery. Discussing NSFW content is fine, as long as it is marked NSFW
7) No misleading or fearmongering news or politics
8) No self-hatred defeatist/rant posts allowed. If you're struggling with mental health or self worth, r/self can't help you. Please use one of the subreddits below.
9) No commonly posted topics. If a topic of discussion has been dominating r/self lately, follow-up posts may be removed, especially if the original post(s) were locked due to many comments breaking rules 1 and 7.

This includes the following topics:

I can’t get a date/I’m lonely posts (see below subreddits)
Incel talk
Men vs. women gender war debate/modern dating/red pill nonsense
Controversial “rage bait” topics
