What its rules say about AI and bots
Ask questions, be constructive, give actionable advice!
Comments should be detailed, information driven, *authentic (not AI)* and include action-oriented advice to best aide the OP and readers in finding their path. Ask clarifying questions to get deeper information and assume ignorance over malice. Polite disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks, hostility, ridicule, and contempt are not.
AI Use Is Forbidden (in posts or comments)
This shouldn't have to even be a rule, but here we are. We are not interested in reading an AI's version of whatever you'd like to share.

No promotion of crypto coins, NFTs, or careers in creating or maintaining either. - Separate Facts From Predictions/Personal Experiences. No Doomposting or Fatalism.
Reality is welcome, including bad news, difficult experiences, and legitimate concerns, but not hatefulness or judgementalism. Separate facts, experience, interpretation, and prediction. Your experience is data, not the entire market; your prediction is not a fact. Discuss problems constructively and help others navigate them rather than deciding their future for them.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
