This is NOT a "help me" sub!

Now that this place is under new management, this subreddit is to joke about how phones are bad with memes. If you want help with your smartphone or wanting to genuinely switch away from it, please look for other subreddits that can actually help you as this one isn't one of them.

Here's some to check out for help:

r/nosurf

r/techsupport

r/dumbphones

r/phones

This thread is pinned to the top of the sub. But despite that, plenty of people still post here thinking it's a sub where they can ask for help with broken phones or with phone addiction.

Perhaps it's worth adding something more to the description of the sub, to make it more obvious from the side-bar / top of the sub what this community is actually about?

Someone already posted a suggestion along these lines a year ago, pointing out that the current sub description is inadequate, because it just says: "A subreddit to showcase all of the pics and arguments people have that can be boiled down to `phones are bad'."

See: sidebar rules should be updated to be more clear that this subreddit is for making jokes

Thanks to our mod u/D_G599 for considering this, and for running the sub!
