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.

I don't get the argument. Hexbear doesn't ban links in general.
The ToS also doesn't mention that we shouldn't post warez to avoid malware but to respect IP law.
I'm not all that plugged into the moderator team's actions, if any, regarding this issue.
I have noticed, on occasion, commenters to posts about piracy sometimes mention that is might not be the best idea to drop links to pirated things in publicly visible comments and posts. This may/may not cause a short conversation about the self censorship of posting direct links to piracy sites in general or particular pirated media.
I'm assuming this is what the original commentator is referring to.
