        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 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?
