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.

It’s a big deal. Minecraft is a huge community, most of the big YouTubers or Streamers become big because of it or Fortnite.
You also have to remember that it’s Microsoft behind Minecraft, it’s the second GAFAM after Google which is unhappy with the situation.
It’s definitely gonna affect the IPO negatively.
At this point, anyone who thinks Reddit will come out of this smelling like roses is an idiot.
Caroline … you’d need a golden calculator to divide …
It's also the no 1 best selling video game of all time, by a sizable margin, so it would be a big deal regardless.
Note that the subreddit will not disappear. All this means is that the actual Minecraft devs will no longer be using it for official announcements / collect feedback (that's why the "thanks for the feedback"). Instead now they ask people to use the existing feedback channels.
It might affect the IPO if this happens more generally or causes a trend, but I don't think it's such a big deal. It's not like they are sunsetting the subreddit. And even if they did, the reddit admins can simply mark the channel as abandoned and allow for new mods to take it over. So the community there will most likely continue as it was. I bet most people didn't even know the official devs were there.
