Ask Hexbear is the place to ask and answer ~~thought-provoking~~ questions.

Rules:

  1. Posts must ask a question.

  2. If the question asked is serious, answer seriously.

  3. Questions where you want to learn more about socialism are allowed, but questions in bad faith are not.

  4. Try !feedback@hexbear.net if you're having questions about regarding moderation, site policy, the site itself, development, volunteering or the mod team.

I don't get it. I posted something in badposting because I couldn't' find anywhere else for it and it appeared in privacy instead, so I don't know what's going on. If all of these are locked then why even have them? I spend five minutes trying to figure out where something goes and I get an error message saying it's locked.

If its been a bit since you've posted, the pinned posts for the mega threads like "News" are now consolidated in the pinned post "Temporary Hexbear Megathread and Event Portal"

Are you using those links to go to the current unlocked mega threads for News?

Antifascism is locked from making posts (but not comments), but it looks like its been locked for 3 years for anybody who isn't a moderator. (not sure why though, maybe to keep potentially important things from not being seen by enough users).

Politics isn't locked for me.

Clicked randomly around the communities list and besides Antifascism, none show as locked.

I don't think any of these communities are locked? Are you trying to post in old mega threads? I did just go check and News is fine.

I swear I tried to post in news and it was blocked. My post wound up in privacy, for reasons I don't know.
