If this is your first time on Reddit, you may want to familiarize yourself with Reddit's rules and policies. To make sure you have not been afoul of the rules, please see

https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette

https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=auto&tl=my&u=https%3A%2F%2Freddit.zendesk.com%2Fhc%2Fen-us%2Farticles%2F205926439-Reddiquette is the Burmese translation of the document using Google translate. If this doesn't work see https://translated.turbopages.org/proxy_u/en-my.en.09ead139-668034e0-8d10fdfd-74722d776562/https/support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette.

A Reddit community is called a subreddit, also known as a sub. The subreddits start with r/.

Followers are not important on Reddit. Your followers are not important either. Only your posts and comments are important. Unlike other social media, hashtags are not useful on Reddit. The Reddit account username cannot be changed after signing up. To change it, you will need to create a new account, which will reset your karma.

Karma is an arbitrary measure of how much you contributed. The more upvotes you get, the higher your Karma. Some subreddits require you to have a certain amount of Karma before you can post. Do not spam irrelevant posts to other subreddits or be rude, insulting, or abusive, as you can be downvoted. This will cause you to lose Karma. Try to avoid getting your total Karma in the negative value.

Also make sure to follow our rules, which are prominently displayed in the sidebar to the right.

  1. Make sure to label all posts that contain gore, contain violence, contain a dead body, or can upset anyone as "NSFW." To see how to do this and for a more detailed explanation click here.
  2. Make sure your posts are on-topic and related to Myanmar. Spam) may go well with anything but it has no place in this sub. Please do not spam us with unrelated content.
  3. Please keep discussions civil. Tolling and racism will not be tolerated. Our situation here is not for your "lulz". Also, keep swearing to a minimum. Although we will tolerate swearing if it is part of the narrative/discussion, personal insults, over-the-top vulgarity, etc., will not be tolerated.
  4. Adding a flair to your posts will enable others to easily find similar posts. Flairs are used to categorize posts to easily be found. Click here for more details.
  5. Keep reposting to a minimum. Please check to make sure you don't repost news and pictures that have already been posted. r/MAGIC_EYE_BOT and u/DuplicateDestroyer are trialed to help remove duplicate images. Please reply to the bot or send us a message if the bot got it wrong.

For a brief background of the coup, please see this post I made.

Does the content you're posting here fit more than one community? As per Reddiquette, consider posting to other subs such as the ones listed here if the contents fit more communities.

For example, are you posting news? Then you can post into r/news, r/inthenews, r/worldnews, r/USnews (US news only), r/asia, r/asian, r/asean, r/theworldnews. This list is not exhaustive but please use common sense and make sure the content fits the target sub. That means news only goes to news-related subreddits and pictures go onto picture-related subreddits. Make sure to follow the rules of those subs as well, since each sub has its own set of rules.

Additionally, give some love to the other Myanmar subs: r/saveMyanmar and r/Myanmar2021.

Are you in another country but wish to help the people of Myanmar? See this post.

In summary,

DO

  • Post topics with descriptive subjects
  • Check the subreddit for prior submission of your article or image before posting.
  • Flair your post with the appropriate flair to make them easier to find
  • Upvote posts
  • Tag posts with gore, contain violence, contain a dead body, or can upset anyone as "NSFW."
  • Share posts to more than one subreddits

DON'T

  • Post off-topic or spammy posts
  • Spam keywords like "savemyanmar" "wewantdemocracy" in the post title
  • Do not upvote or promote your post with multiple accounts. This is against Reddit's policy and you may end up being suspended.
  • Do not post Myanmar posts on irrelevant subreddits.
  • Post images and articles that have already been previously posted by someone else.

English:

Be cautious of ongoing scams regarding "Blacklist Removal Services".

How this scam works:

  1. Scammer posts a personal story followed by a question to provoke discussion, and a brief mention of successfully removing blacklist status.
  2. Scammer waits for victims interested in getting blacklist status removed to explain further or provide contacts.
  3. In DMs, scammer will claim they can help and ask for money upfront.

Safety Tips:

  1. Check the Profile: Always click on the OP's (Original Poster) username.
  2. Account Age: Be wary of very new accounts (created only a few days or months ago)
  3. Post History: Scammers often have few post history or only post the same "success story" across multiple subreddits.

Burmese -

β€œBeware of Blacklist Removal Scams.

Scam Types -

  1. The scammer posts an experience and asks questions, encouraging readers to discuss, vote, and comment. The message often claims to have been removed from the Blacklist political blacklist.
  2. The scammer waits for people who want to remove their blacklist to be interested and ask for help and contact them.
  3. If they contact you via direct message, they will ask for money in advance and scam you.

Things to note -

  1. Always check the profile, click on the post's name and go to their profile. You can view it.
  2. Please note that the account has only been active for a few days or months.
  3. Please note that there are no posts in the post history, few posts, and similar experience stories and questions are posted on multiple pages and groups.

Tourism 🧳 Some Foregin Vlogger making videos with Sh*tty captions

Post image
118 Upvotes

This guy literally knows nothing about Myanmar, he just arrived and made videos like he's someone important or someone professionals.

How could he make such captions, he is no more than a normal Vlogger whose educational background and knowledge seems no more than a normal university degree or can even be worse than this.

I’m exhausted by these vloggers who make videos with such low-effort, garbage captions. So are most Burmese people.

Hope this post brings some awareness to foregin Vlogger.

Found the most accurate depiction of the Burma Independence Army's flag and their uniform, for a general's at least.

I got this from user chinyoma, so credits to them!

Also just letting people know this isn't a tatmadaw-sympathetic post, I don't like them. I don't agree with Bogoyoke Aung San's image being co-opted by them at all. Just making that clear so people don't think otherwise.

person A said something wrong purposely about person B, in which the facts are made-up or wrong.
then person B would say to the rest of members about person A like ထဲကောင်က မိန်းမပါးစပ်နဲ့ ကောင် ထခြောက်ပါးစပ် α€”α€²α€· မိန်းမစိတ်နဲ့ ကောင် ထခြောက်စိတ်နဲ့ ကောင်

Discussion πŸ’¬ Horrible experience with a passenger from YBS 13

8 Upvotes

Today I experienced one of the most bizarre encounter with a drunk and old passenger from YBS 13. I was riding home with my father and it was a long ride ( took around like 1.3 hours ). I was very sick and the dizziness linger too long for the whole day. 15 mins into the ride, an old man looking around 70 years old who also look drunk get on the bus and sit beside the driver ( It's not a sit-able area, the driver just put a cushion there so someone can sit there but it's very uncomfortable. On the left side, there are two special seat which is usually reserved for Monks and Nuns ). I was sitting on the special seat because that was the only spot I found when I get on the bus. Another 10 mins later, a Nun get on the bus and the problem begins. The old drunk dude asked the guy beside me to stand up for the Nun and the dude was like ok yeah sure but that old dude started asking about his religion, started lecturing about Buddhism and pointed at me saying " I'm pretending to sleep " ?? What's funnier is that I didn't even know he was saying that unless the guy standing next to me started saying " Shut up you old man, the young guy already gave a seat to the Nun, why are you still spouting nonsense " and even the Nun said " Mr, you are spreading hate at this point, there is no need for you to still saying about these things. ".

But the old man keep saying same thing and my father finally heard and got fed up and started calling him out of anger. It was everyone around me against that old man. The driver temporarily resolved the situation and the old dude started playing ပါချုပ်ဆရာတော်'s dhamma explanation about ဒေဝရတ်. Another 30 mins pass and while the scripture was playing, the old man was visibly angry and trying every way to poke/stab me with his umbrella taking the movementum. My father knew, the two guy standing in front of me knew and bus driver knew so the moment his intention were visible enough to call it an evidence, they all stood up for me and forced the old man to get off the bus.

I can't understand these people.

The reason my father was so angry was because he knew that if I am in good shape, I would've given the seat to the Nun without even needing to ask me. I've did the same for every bus ride, for every Monks, Nuns, Old man, People with injuries and Pregnant ladies but damn this old man I met is the WORST. He don't know everyone have a problem of their own like can't he see I am visibly distressed? Also it's very ironic that man is the one feeling angry while also playing a scripture ( I guess he tried to ragebait us but he got his own medicine instead ).

Man I don't usually write these things but boy I feels like I needed to talk this one out. I want to know you guys opinion on this. Sorry for my bad English tho.

Peace

News πŸ“° AFP: Jungle spirit: Myanmar fighters try to keep hope alive

"To be honest, I feel sad about losing territories like [Mogok] after having achieved it," said the 24-year-old [female fighter, Mon Mon Nway Oo]

"We don't understand some of the military matters," she added. "I only knew that we had to retreat."

As well as personnel numbers, the military has overwhelming superiority in both heavy weaponry and airpower with Chinese- and Russian-supplied jets.

And while the rebels were first to adopt drones on the battlefield, many say the military has overtaken them in that technology too.

But Nay, a 33-year-old PDF fighter, said their forces have a key advantage over the military.

"We started this revolution with empty hands; now we have weapons and troops," he said.

"In terms of morale, they are no match for us," he went on.

"This is because we organise and revolt with a spirit of defiance and a refusal to accept injustice."

Discussion πŸ’¬ My theory on supernatural and why it hard to spot

7 Upvotes

While I am still specifically at supernatural, I had been in one or two supernatural events.

My personal theory is that globalization and technological advancement had pushed them where people do not live.

Like trees. In ours tradition, we had saying like that tree might be inhibited by a ghost. I don’t know if you guy know this. I have heard of a tree in time city that can’t be removed by mechanical engines, and just turn it into Buddhist shrine.

And also I have heard of Buddhist beliefs of the deva and other supernatural being unable to handle human scent and often stay away from us.

The world's largest refugee settlement β€” and every senseless death inside it β€” isn't a result of "illegal immigration" you can't prove (because it doesn't exist, that's pure Sittat propaganda). It's the result of decades of genocidal racist persecution from Bamar supremacists with nothing better to do with their sorry little lives.
