Because I didnt make this thread to have a discussion about Rule 8 but some of you have been so consistently angry about it since it was made and haven’t dropped the issue such that I cant even mention it in passing while talking about a different problem without you bringing it back up again.
The thing is, it isn’t a different problem regardless of how much you insist that it is. The fundamental problem is that there is content people want to post, and they are not allowed to post it where it would make the most sense, so they post it elsewhere. Since no mod has given a clear explanation about why this content is disallowed or even what content specifically is disallowed (explicitly it is “vibes based”) people are wary of posting anything that could potentially be interpreted as rule-breaking to the comm where that rule exists and instead post it to the comms where there aren’t weird unexplained rules that might get their posts removed for no reason
The problem would go away if mods either explained the rule ever or simply removed it, but since they refuse to do either we see this phenomenon you’re posting about

I browse local 90% of the time. I am here to use hexbear. “you can post this content on Reddit” or whatever is not an explanation for why it is not allowed here.
No actually it is the problem of the people going out of their way to antagonize people posting normal hexbear content, not those of us just trying to use the site
Dunk tank content is not “normal hexbear content” its normal dunk tank content. People block dunk tank because they dont want to see it youre aware of that right?
The dunk tank is part of hexbear, yes? Normal dunk tank content is normal hexbear content. A significant portion of that normal dunk tank content is now arbitrarily and unexplainedly disallowed in the dunk tank and on hexbear as a whole, and when we ask why we’re told “because” and “well you can always go to a different website entirely to post it” and “[random insults]”
Do you not understand why this is seen by those of us who do like that content as a negative thing?
I mean it’s well established on hexbear that it is not allowed to throw insults at comrades over petty bullshit, which is strictly enforced and is why his comment was quickly removed. What exactly am I supposed to be self-reflecting about?
Why are you throwing insults at me for disagreeing with a rule on an internet forum

People want to make fun of and critique a post they see somewhere else. Where do you think they should post it on hexbear?
