Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Also, if your moderator is rejecting Wikipedia links as “propaganda” then they have no business being a moderator. Wikipedia is one of the last, best sources of information on the Internet that isn’t biased, corporate-sponsored bullsh*t. Those mods are either UP TO something or have been bonked on the head.

Wikipedia is one of the last, best sources, which is why every teacher has ruled it an invalid source for like 20 years

To doom abit, they have stopped doing that in poorer school districts. Most of the time they are happy if the student cites anything at all, let along distinguish between primary and secondary sources. Those kids tend to be in for a shock if they make it to college and it is no longer an acceptable source for academia.
