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

r/writingprompts is the saddest subreddit I'm still subbed to. I've been there for years, it's just getting less and less active. What little activity exists is just marvel and fantasy tropes. Superhero this, elves and Paladins that. The replies are frequently run-of-the-mill cliche fests. The saddest part is that the rare gem, the most interesting and unique prompts and the most curious approaches to meagre yet popular prompts get basically no attention.
I just opened it up, top 2 posts are elves and necromancers. It's beyond unfortunate considering what the community could be.
It's just bots masturbating bots. This is why everything is so generic.
This describes Reddit as a whole honestly. I log onto that website maybe once a week and everywhere is same posts on repeat every time.
Yeah it can still be useful as a news aggregator. But as a community, a place for real discussion? That's dead and buried.
