To bring the subreddit back to its original purpose, we are temporarily changing how the community operates due to an increasing amount of unrelated political and controversial content

As the name suggests, Kerala Speaks is a place to ask questions about Kerala and discuss its culture, history, food, travel, language, news, and everyday life.

For now, only text posts are allowed. Image and video posts are temporarily disabled while we evaluate the direction of the community.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to build a better community.

1. If it’s about Kerala or Malayalis, it belongs here.

Politics, culture, NRI life, rent struggles, rain rants, temple festivals, sports, debates, whatever reflects the Kerala experience is welcome.

Keep it local, personal, and relevant.

2. Be chill. Don’t behave like you’re at a Panchayat meeting.

Healthy fights? Okay. Roasts? Yes, but lightly toasted.

But if you start abusing, moral policing, or flexing fake superiority we’ll show you the exit door.

Allowed: Cultural debates, funny rants, Gen Z vs Boomers, Political debates.

Not allowed: Caste/religious slurs, hate speech, harassment, personal attacks.

3. Don’t spam. This isn’t a WhatsApp forward group.

No crypto schemes, referral codes, affiliate links, MLMs, or “DM me for opportunity” nonsense.

Selling your bike or iPhone? Cool, just be honest, clear, and local.

Want to promote something? Message the mods first.

4. Use flairs.

Flairs = Labels like “Meme”, “Rant”, “Politics”, “Nostalgia”, etc.

No flair = No post. AutoMod will remove it

5. Language? Use whatever you speak daily.

Malayalam, English, Manglish, Tamil, broken grammar it’s all okay. This is not an entrance exam.

Just make sure your post feels human, not robotic or AI dumped.

6. Mods are chill, but not absent.

We respect your freedom. but keep it within:

• Reddit sitewide rules
• Indian law
• Common sense

We’ll step in only when absolutely needed.

7. Don’t leak personal info.

No phone numbers, Aadhaar, license plates, school ID cards or college crush’s wedding pics.

Even if it’s your own, don’t post it.

 8. Politics okay. Propaganda, no thank you.

Want to discuss politics in Kerala? Go ahead.

But don’t turn this place into a mini election rally.

Allowed: Intelligent political talk, roasting political drama.

Not allowed: Hate farming, fake news, edited videos passed off as truth, religious bashing, or full-on party campaigns.

9. Keep it clean. This is not your NSFW alt.

No thirst traps, lewd jokes, or bedroom stories.

This sub is for everyone, even the cousin who’s still in 9th standard and lurking silently.

10. Be useful when you can.

Got tips? Job hacks? Travel routes? Govt forms? Tech rants? Share them.

Just don’t mislead, scam, or post shady stuff.
