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 federated instances' admins or moderators.

An app I used to use was kicked off of Github due to contributions from a user in a sanctioned nation. Rather than highlight the absurdity of these sanctions measures (since the app is 100% free and not materially helping any nation in any way), it lead to some users hosting a witch hunt where they tried to guess which contributor triggered the action and which nation they are from (or that they were in when they submitted their PR).
Every time I hear about US sanctions and how they can impact third-party nations who interact with sanctioned entities, I am bewildered. I don't understand how this can be accepted and normalized internationally. The US holds a monopoly over many modern necessary services and can cut off anyone it wants for any reason. It's absurd.
It's called "The Law", sweaty. Look it up.
It's called the rules based order. The US refuses to ratify any treaties that would make actual laws.
Right. "The Law."
