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

Look, we had a ton of arguments about this, and I think the consensus reached by the userbase is that we all want one com for making fun of reactionaries generally, and their posts.

Again, not at all arguing against banning contrapoints posts at all. (Unless she does something REALLY funny, but I doubt that she will)

I was there for the arguments, for the record. As I recall the spilt between slop and pop culture was exactly so you could dunk on celebrities in one comm and dunk on everyone else in another.

What is your recollection of the purpose of the pop culture comm?

I forgot the pop culture comm existed bleh

Let's say hypothetically I wanted to post this video to make fun of it:

This person is an elected official, so he's not an anonymous reactionary. But this clearly doesn't belong in "pop culture" because it's not pop culture at all. Where should I post this

I didn't realize gossip got merged and thought it was pop culture i literally thought i was enforcing, not changing. Sorry
