I'm sure I can find the answers to these questions in google individually, but other people in the fediverse might benefit from having these questions answered as well.

Why is Trump a "Wet Boy"?

Why is a defecating pig a "PBB"?

Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called "citations needed" instead of the chapo podcast?

How is El Chapo's trap house in any way related to leftism?

Why are your emojis so big?

What's the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?

To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.

What's the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?

From what I've seen, the hard limits are transphobia/bigotry, pro-imperialism, and (of course) pro-capitalism/anti-communism. Liberals or certain sects might get push back assuming they're arguing in good faith, but those other categories will get banned without question, and rightfully so in my opinion. So that means absolutely no TERFs, bigots, NATO supporters, or monarchist socialist (is this even a real thing?).

To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.

Other questions you could ask:

  • Indoor or outdoor cats?
  • Opinions on "treats"
  • Bidets vs toilet paper
  • Who is "BMF"?
  • What is the "volcel police" and what is their function here?

There might be more but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.

I don't think we have any outspoken Maoists so I can't say.

Now that you asked it, who is BMF? And what is the consensus from Hexbear on snacks for pets? What what function do these "volcel police" serve?

Without being part of the struggle session, I want to say that outdoor pet cats are devastating for the wildlife critters and I want to believe that no one seriously argued in good faith for toilet papers. I hope that I'm not banned from the instance for this statement!
