its rules on Reddit

For those that want to approach the problem of financial independence from a minimalist, stoic, frugal, or anti-consumerist trajectory. If you want to retire before 60 with less than $54k in planned yearly household expenses ($27k individual), this is the place to discuss it!

All 6 rules of r/leanfire

Completely off topic
This post or comment is not relevant to retiring before 60 with less than $54k in planned yearly expenses ($27k individual).
Attacks the person rather than the argument
This post or comment is addressed at the person (i.e. "You are an idiot") rather than the ideas expressed in the previous comments (i.e. "That is a bad idea"). We remove these comments to keep the conversation relevant to the topic at hand.
Encourages or normalizes spending over subreddit guidelines
This post or comment encourages or normalizes spending over subreddit guidelines (25k individual, 50k household). Although these are technically guidelines, particularly blatant posts and comments may warrant warnings or removal in order to protect the original FIRE culture of minimalism, anticonsumerism, and frugality.
Racism, sexism, or other forms of bigotry
This post or comment is racist, sexist, or displaying some other form of prejudice or bigotry. Our subreddit is inclusive and welcoming to all who follow our rules and guidelines. Intolerance based on race, color, national origin/ancestry, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, physical or mental disability, etc is unacceptable.
Don't argue the rules outside of Meta posts
The rules are clearly written. While it's understandable that many people may disagree with the rules, they have been intentionally chosen and are being enforced as-is. Complaints about the rules are limited to conversations with the Meta tag and those sorts of threads will be limited to once a week.
Moderators should not engage in arguments over the rules
This rule only applies to moderators. They should not argue the rules in comments, as it makes things worse. If you see this, please report it.

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Unpublished minimums.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.

Let your AI read the rules before it posts.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
