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.

Sorry, meant to defer to ND comrades, not to be dismissive. My personal take is that insults based on intelligence are ableist, despite ability not being equal to intelligence, because someone's mental functions are never the reason for them doing or saying something reactionary. When you use someone's perceived lack of intelligence as an insult, you're reinforcing the idea that someone's worth is (at least in part) based on having the correct mental ability.

FWIW I've used those words in an ableist way on this website before, even pretty recently. It's one of the harder things to correct.
