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

Why does this keep happening
Why are the lawyers always surprised that the plausibly-sounding bullshit machine put out plausibly-sounding bullshit
Because a lot of people are sold the idea that the bullshit machine isn't a bullshit machine, it's a magic "do everything" machine. They hear the buzzwords and never look further and just assume it must be great because so many people are talking about it. Or they hear speculation about what it "could" do and mistake that for an actual claim about what it currently does, like any good grift product or pyramid scheme.
Linda McMahon, Trump's secretary of education, thinks it's called A1. The US is a deeply unserious country.
Hearing that information literally caused me psychic damage.
