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.

[Stinky mod mistake]No more contrapoints posts in slop. Use pop culture for well known internet posters. (hexbear.net)

~~Slop is meant to be for posts from random internet users or other lemmy instances, not posts from people with actual influence over a significant number of people~~.

Haha I'm not good at this. I thought pop culture was the comm that was created at the same time as slop but that was gossip.

Seems gossip got merged.

Oop

original posthttps://hexbear.net/c/popularculture

Use /c/popularculture for Hasan or contra or whatever. If the mods there say no contra then that's the way it is i guess.

I haven't consulted anyone about this so if a more senior mod wants to contradict me i get it.

Agree or disagree in the comments I'm pretty easy to influence so argue if you want

I'd argue it's not about this place being designed for one specific type of post. The point is not every community should necessarily be filled with hecklers. This place is to heckle. Even if the stuff we're heckling could possibly also be posted somewhere else, it makes sense to have a sanctioned point and laugh zone so there's at least room for more serious discussion (y'know, in theory)

edit: to be clear I'm fine with banning contrapoints posts, or really anyone who happens to be clogging up the feed at any given time. could always temporarily pin a quarantine post or something to contain it
