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.

The fact that censorship of that sort is even there in the first place is the problem. If you wanted people to be able to modify the software like that it should be separated from either the main code base or even just in a different namespace.
Now I will say Rimu is good at what they do. I had an issue where I couldn't load my main feed and there was nothing I could do client side. They had it fixed within 2 hours of me raising an issue on codeberg. That was great. But their skill isn't the issue. Its them choosing to inject their opinions in a social media software that has the effect of controlling what everyone using it sees that is the issue.
Sorry for preaching to the choir. Its just after interacting with hexbear quite a bit, I don't see the bad wrap unless someone is misunderstanding what "death to america" means.
Regarding people misunderstanding Hexbear, I'd argue its deliberate. Not that they are aware, even, but that they choose to never interpret anything we say charitably, because doing so results in uncomfortable realizations. I highly recommend everyone read Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of "Brainwashing" as we are all guilty of this, to greater or lesser degrees.
It's the same for hasan piker where there is such a constant smear campaign he's always in a negative light until people actually listen or see his actions.
Note he has negatives but not enough to warrant how the right and libs think of him. See collar gate or any other controversy from lsf or destiny
Good, practical example!
Have you ever gotten people in the wider fedverse to read some of these redsails articles? I would honestly say a lot of them are better for combating liberalism than most actual theory (which generally isn't too focused on expunging liberal brainworms)
I started reading them from other instances before I joined hexbear, so I'm one person at least
Yep, but they have to people that want to read them, not just people permanently hostile. Theory dumping doesn't work, you can take a horse to water but can't make them drink.
I like hexbear and glad you have such a great community, but I still don’t understand hexbear most of the time.
That's fair!
I imagine this sequence of events happens a lot:
-see a post saying hexbear wants to execute all infants for being reactionary or something
-go to hexbear
-it's all pissing owls
Don't forget all the beans
they're not misunderstanding me, uh, in minecraft
You're a good egg, Sanctus.
And we'll greet you with open arms when you crack
