What r/coldturkeyblocker Is For
This community is the official place to discuss Cold Turkey Blocker, which is a distraction blocker for Windows and macOS. People come here to talk about the software and the broader topic of blocking distractions. It is a focused community for users of this specific tool.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for anyone considering a marketing-adjacent post are "Must be related to Cold Turkey Blocker or blocking distractions.", "No self promotion.", and "No spam.". These three decide whether your post survives. If your content is not about the blocker itself or the general topic of blocking distractions, it will be removed. If it promotes your own product or service, it will be removed. The "No spam." rule reinforces this.
What To Post
A good post here is strictly about Cold Turkey Blocker or blocking distractions. You could share a genuine question about how to use the software effectively for a specific productivity challenge. You could discuss a real scenario where blocking distractions helped you focus. The key is to be a user or someone interested in the topic, not a marketer. Since "No self promotion." is a rule, you should not mention your own product at all.
What To Avoid
You should avoid anything that violates the "No self promotion." and "No spam." rules. Do not post links to your own product or service. Do not post content that is off topic, as the "Must be related to Cold Turkey Blocker or blocking distractions." rule is strict. Do not post workarounds for the blocker, as the "Don't post workarounds, request support from the website instead." rule prohibits this. Do not post feature requests outside the stickied post, as the "Feature requests are only allowed in the stickied post." rule is clear. Finally, do not engage in any behavior that violates the "No harassment." rule.
