For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
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.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

What's with the water overlay?
It's used to indicate that the person sharing the post disapproves of it
I think it might also be to make it clear it's a screenshot and not a reblog or something idk tumblr culture has always been kinda inscrutable to me
you drown posts you don't like
tumblr pvp is fun
I think it's more likely used to prevent reverse-image-search or break repost detection.
its very easy for a screenshot of a tumblr post to blend in with the rest of post and appear as if the screenshot is your own opinion. we drown posts to make it clear that it is not written by the author of the main post (and that its bullshit)
