If you’re banned from the community you can dm to appeal. Anti-natalism is the belief that people shouldn’t have children due to that child’s potential suffering, of which the child cannot consent. The sidebar calls this a form of eco fascism and provides a link to explain what this is. “Vaush posts” is a stand-in for “incorrect nonsense” posted on here to be criticized, and the sidebar explains that they should be posted in the dunk tank community rather than this one.

Chapotraphouse is the main community of Hexbear. Hexbear was formed as a group around a left-wing podcast called chapotraphouse, although it doesn’t have anything to do with it anymore. The comm title is a relic of the past fr.

Thanks for the info, but wtf... Maybe I'm out of touch, but that gibberish sounds more like gatekeeping.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We're gatekeeping... an obscure leftist online forum?????

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Yeah lol it's definitely not what gatekeeping means

Our site culture is how it is from a lot of online fighting, and trying to counter brigading/trolls in the early days. Our moderation is pretty heavy-handed because of this, but they do let you appeal.

Usually if there's a rule, there's a specific event that caused it.

Moderating anything is literally gatekeeping, but I can see how to someone wandering in it looks like a lot of arbitrary stuff to tread carefully around.

But if you seem like you're coming here in good faith usually people aren't too impolite, although they might be because sometimes it's exhausting for us to hear something annoying for the millionth time that a newcomer is probably new to hearing.

Is gatekeeping even real? It’s usually people mad about that based Mao quote “No investigation, no right to speak”.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Or liberals who are mad we won't say they're the cool kind of capitalist

It's terminally online gibberish yeah. I don't even understand what half of the site taglines mean or where they come from, and I've been using this website for years lmao.

I wish it were gatekeeping, then it would be intentional. Unfortunately, this is just how we are...

Basically an instance completely filled with Communists, socialists, and some anarchists. Terminally online ones at that.

(luv u hexbear comrades)
