@[email protected] https://hexbear.net/comment/3728216 wants the video of a Ukrainian nazi leader bragging about Zelenksy being great cover for them. I can think of a hundred times I shied away from making an argument I didn't have confidence I could find reference material for. We should have a 'first place to look'.

It would also be good SEO for our search function

I wanna talk about James Connolly, Sinn Féin, Gaddafi's Semtex, and the Liam MacCarthy Cup

Agriculture is key to socialism. It's the productive forces.

There's a lot of issues,a lot of breaking news, a lot of history, including socialist history.

Agriculture has its technical aspects and its political aspects (like collectivisation).

Socialists like Fidel Castro were obsessed with agriculture. Like if Fidel Castro walked into the room right now he'd probably talk for hours about yields and bovine genetics and things like that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro_and_dairy

This website is cool, but it has a lot of censored posts and comments. It would be a good show to open up the modlog and allow people to comment and debate on the content being censored. I fully doubt this request will be considered, but I had to bring it up.

It’s funny and I would moderate it

There have been a lot of requests for new comms lately and not even a discussion of actually implementing any of them that I've seen. That isn't really fun or welcoming to new people. It makes the site feel static and unevolving.

Yes, we already have a fair number of comms and a pretty small userbase, but the default setting is to browse All, so splitting up posting across more comms shouldn't reduce the pool of posts, and having more specific communities if anything should inspire more posting. Anything that has repeat issues with self-moderating can be locked or deleted, but I don't really see the issue with letting people go wild on this. The freedom to create your own little space, niche specialty community, or novelty gag community inspires a lot of creative posting in my experience and could bring in new users as well. We may not want to lifeboat any big subreddits, but letting people set up their own little spaces can't hurt too much, right?

Let new comms live and die by people's actual usage of them, rather than not letting any exist in the first place. If we have posts on this comm getting 15+ upbears, that is enough posters to get a small community going, no? let alone other posts getting 30-50 upbears, often with well known community members volunteering to moderate and still no response. And those are just the people posting and upbearing despite most of us knowing full well new comms basically never get approved. The current system just isn't working, IMO.

Admins, if there is something I'm missing here that makes this an intractable problem I'm open to hearing it. If that is the case, can we set objective criteria for creating a comm rather than defaulting to "admins ignored your post: denied"?

Everyone else: do you have any thoughts on this? I think it could work. Obviously if comms cause issues they can just be nuked. I'm fine with aggressive moderation, but as it stands now I think creativity is being stifled.

For discussion about ships and other naval feats of engineering.

Also ocean disasters,accidents and wrecks.

I need a place to post my Gunpla

Give the people their slop

Put a main post up and got good interest

With the deletion of the subreddits, /r/Chapotraphouse3, a community dedicated to not posting, was deleted. Could we get a community here to not post in?

I envision "LibRehab" as somewhere to point people to when they showcase clear signs of Liberalism (not in a mean way).

Posts would be a mix of simplified theory, countering of historical revisionism / anti-communist talking points, and a nonjudgemental space for those on the journey of deprogramming their mind.

This is the image I had in mind:

the sub is going down on reddit soon so, yeah that's it lol.

since this sub is going to shut down forever until the API changes are fixed we should have some kinda back-up. thanks! loved this sub so much in its time, but only 2 days remain of it.

And not on motorcycles I guess.

yep, thats it, i don't even want mod or anything but this sub is super cool. thanks. i think it should be here

Reddit community r/reformed might like a new home

Sweden is one of many that needs a good community here on HexBear! Fancy a fika?

your one-stop community for any and all time-travel related discussion. Earth flat, not round, yes we get it, but off-topic posts will be removed. We are teleportation adjacent.

Left issues unavoidably intersect with indigenous issues in the modern world, all over the world.

Using the adjective as the name is not obvious, but is the right way. And the name leaves it open to the globe.

Seeing how well this thread was received showed me there'd be appetite for a sub: https://hexbear.net/post/266775/
