Are we squeamish about sex? This place does seem less horny than other online spaces, but like, not because the people on here are prudes or sex-negative. More like people here understand how fast horny-posting can turn into something uncomfortable, or into outright sexual harassment, and in the interest of keeping this place nice, are doing the horny-posting in more appropriate places. I don't know, I've never gotten the impression that hexbear is uncomfortable with sex, or that this place is completely sexless, just that we maintain a respectful distance from it to ensure everyone's comfort and a minimum of drama

Pretty sure discussion of sex and sexuality is fine here and this is just a person who was poisoned by reddit's pervasive porn & weird internet culture around that.

This place is definitely sex-positive, but horny-posting negative

Most of the volcel police posts I see are just a tongue in cheek reminder before jokes turn uncomfortable

Tbh, coming from lemmygrad, I was a little shocked to see how many sex-related comments there were here when we federated. The Volcel Police do a good job, still, and I'll happily scroll here alone or in company where I would do neither on X, Reddit, Insta, etc. Mine is just the perspective of someone who got used to a place that actually doesn't have much talk about sex. For a place where that kind of thing does crop up, Hexbear gets the balance right.

The user in the screenshot doesn't know what they're talking about. It's not the first time I've come across this weird shit, though. I encountered someone else (I assume it was someone else) who was decrying lemmygrad as a blight on humanity for daring to defederate or censor all nsfw instances and images. They soon started arguing that protecting kids from gore and porn wasn't a valid reason for the censorship so I blocked them and moved on.

This relates to one of the worst features of internet-ready late stage imperialism, the expectation that porn, especially, should be permitted on every single platform, no matter the theme or audience. Wtf did alienation do to everyone? Why does that need to be mixed in to your sports coverage and political discussion?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

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 ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
