Do we need to go over the problems that arise from putting memes in front of discourse?
How insulated a community has to be in order for someone to end up thinking "I don't really know if X is good or bad and I'm too afraid to ask."
Of course we have many, maybe most people here with a strong consciousness and good rhetorical foundation, but I shouldn't have to mention the dozen of struggle sessions over the years over so much stuff.
In hindsight one can always say "but I always thought X was [the correct take here]" but doing it in real time is not as straight forward as it seems.
In the end we realy do need a "Beginners guide to Hexbear" somewhere just to be safe.
Having a guide to site culture and the history of the more popular jokes and memes is rarely a bad idea. Reddit had a couple of subs dedicated to maintaining the history of reddit. Idk if they still exist.
