    I just checked and those rules are wild.

    Posting a picture of a slice of cheese without a NSFW tag and a content warning is bannable but calling violence against large groups of people isn’t.

        It appears to be a rule against posting food made from animal products. As someone who doesn’t eat animal products myself, I don’t particularly enjoy scrolling Reddit or Lemmy and seeing a picture of a meat dish, but it doesn’t ruin my day I would never dream of demanding a content warning for it.

        To my knowledge CWs are geared towards content that has the potential to trigger past trauma, and I can’t understand how a food category could be so broadly traumatic to someone (outside of EDs I guess, which is obviously not the focus of this rule).

          I suspect it’s less of a trigger warning, and more of a means to reframe perceptions of food.

          Like, if TV commercials just started putting little “viewers may find the following depictions of dead animals disturbing” stingers before a commercial of a family eating steaks, it might change perceptions over time.

            Yeah, that’s exactly what it is.

            Homelander drinking a consenting woman’s breast milk is disturbing and helps convince viewers he’s a creep. Yet if he were to enjoy a nice glass of refreshing cow breast milk, that would be completely normal. Why? Because our society has made a very deliberate choice not to consider there being anything wrong with milking a cow.

            Hexbear simply does not participate in that choice. On Hexbear, there is something disturbing about milking a cow, and that’s because the admins want you to be disturbed by it. That has always been the default state of things.

              The gif that’s typically shared is after he’s murdered her, and finds some in her office fridge. I wouldn’t hold it up as a textbook definition of consent.

        We are a platform that welcomes anyone who wants to be here in good faith. With that said, we are also an intentionally leftist platform; conservative and reactionary ideologies will not be tolerated here.

        They live in an idolgical bubble where contrary opinions are not tolerated, and dissent is shunned. The only voices they hear are leftist and extreme leftist voices shifting the Overton window of politics in their minds leading to radical beliefs.

        It’s important to have your beliefs challenged at times, they lack that. If you can try and listen to voices from opposing view points, maybe even share your own in a respectful manner.

        (This isn’t an issue particular to any side of politics, it also occurs in more right wing groups)

          Two years ago I told a 16 year old to stop being friends with the person who raped my wife. Raddle believes it is child abuse to tell teens not to hang out with rapists. That’s because the head admin is a rape apologist.

    In their general rules:

    Any pictures of food containing animal products, including but not limited to meat, cheese, or egg, must be tagged nsfw along with food discussion content warnings (CW: Food).

    Animal Liberation is essential to any leftist movement, including platforms like Hexbear. Volunteers, comments, and posts, should not be anti-vegan, although users and volunteers are not required to be vegan.

    Wow. Just wow. That is so far beyond leftist.

        I mean, it’s unverifiable and unenforceable. Personally, I wouldn’t sign up for anything that requires identifying myself like that. I can just look at someone’s comment history to see if they’re strongly pro or anti tolerance. As it stands, this has as much value as as North Korea calling themselves democratic.

              The point is not to make you reveal your gender, but to make you explicitly choose a gender, thus normalising the idea that gender should not be assumed. Transphobes will object to this and get banned. At least, that’s the theory.

                I just default to gender neutral terms if context clues don’t suggest a specific one.

                Just make a rule that transphobes and other bigots will be banned like everyone else.

                  And how do the mods find the transphobes to ban them? They’ll have to wait for an argument to happen and someone to complain about it. Waste of everyone’s time. This way transphobes will get triggered when they try to sign up, throw a tantrum, and get banned. That’s the plan; I have no idea whether it works in practice.

            Going by spelling and phrase choices, I’d say the majority of them are youngish Americans who’re still naive enough to believe extreme left-wing/anarcho political systems aren’t just as controlling of the populace as the political systems they despise. Either that or they crave big state control systems because the feel a lack of control in their own lives and want a political daddy to make the decisions for them.

          Were talking pronouns as part of the sign up process.

          @qyron@sopuli.xyz says that @qyron@sopuli.xyz would rather like to be tagged and be part of the conversation, instead of having people talk behind @qyron@sopuli.xyz’s back.

          It’s likely meant to be seen as a witty remark, and not a statement. :)

              Writing out a person’s full name/tag every time you reference them is not practical (see my previous comment), so one wouldn’t give this as reason against third person references in a serious discussion.

                If the genesis of the entire issue with chosen pronouns is about basic respect, personal convinience can take a back seat and we can adress a person by name.

                But then again, I’m often viewed as petty in my personal peeves.

                Better to just not talk about someone and instead just talk with the person.

                Ahh yes of course I can’t believe I didn’t think of that! If I knew their pronoun preference I could almost attribute that to their registered gender, and that almost lowers my possible targets down to a mere 4,000,000,000.

              Yes! Now you get!

              I have to add this here because you just wrote a gold opportunity for me to mock myself. Can we have signatures in Lemmy? I would make the following as mine. Perhaps a little reviewed for shorter form.

              Here is qyron, the most obnoxious example of a person you can find, to the point where making anything and everything harder than necessary becomes a self defining characteristic.

              This is an individual that takes pride and pleasure of torturing others just to make a moot point on any front.

              Don’t be like this personality. Nobody deserves to be like so.
