Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · You must state your threat model in the post (many posts start with “I have read the rules” and a clear threat model); posts without it are routinely removed.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, guide
Headline: a clear question or problem, prefixed by your threat model (e.g., “Threat model: [who/what/actors].”). Write in first person, give concrete details (devices, locations, attackers), and keep posts short-to-medium with explicit constraints. Tone: technical, cautious, non‑alarmist. Upvoted: specific, realistic OPSEC steps, experiments, and context-aware advice. Removed/downsized: posts lacking a threat model, single-tool prescriptions, or advice that enables illegal activity.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/opsec's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
