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.

As VP he most likely stands to get a decent payout from the IPO.
It's easy to think of Reddit as a dictatorship where everyone is deathly afraid of big bad spez, but the reality is that these types of corporate structures are usually completely rotten at the top.
Let me put it another way: do you think if spez were to be run over by a bus tomorrow, anything would change?
I'll ignore your comments about the Nazis before we Goodwin this thread, but dude, what an awful comparison.
Ok maybe I went a little overboard on the comparison - I spent some time reading about the Nuremberg trials because of your comment and how lots of people used the "my superiors ordered me to" as a defense
My point mainly is - regardless if VP agrees with it or not. He probably does agree with it otherwise he wouldn't be VP.
The point is he can't really contradict the board's decision regardless. Yes I agree it's not spez by himself. They're setting him up to take the fall just like they did with Pao back in the day.
I'm just saying - VP is just doing his job. He likely doesn't have much influence, at least on this topic. Spez publicly put his foot down and that's that. Can't contradict at this point.
And I understand "I'm just taking orders" isn't always a defense, we also must consider that this is totally legal and unethical for them to do. I don't agree with it - which is why I got off reddit. But it's their private platform so they're well within their rights
Tldr: hate on the board and people who steer the ship imo
