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 other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/El Chisme

Unrelated, I also hate fake phonetic transcription. It's [fɹ̥ɛnd̥] on Wiktionary. [frend] would be pronounced with a rolled (trilled) r like in Spanish. The /e/ is closer to the ay of may

Yeah, this says nothing about how to pronounce it unless you already speak English and know how those letters are pronounced, which defeats the whole purpose.

It's just how you're supposed to read "friend dot com"

Love spotting a fellow IPA-familiar nerd in the wild

I'm not super across all of it but I learnt enough at uni to know bs when I see it, and I see it everywhere

Probably AI generated the transcription, if not the entire ad
