As a committed hexbear poster, I want to share something sorta quick that might give insight into the chapo rules for posting.

The culture generally arose from having a home-team advantage on the old sub. Where typically across reddit, Liberals and Conservatives would argue in bad faith with leftists, return to propaganda as proof, and generally ignore history and call it “whataboutism”.

The culture that came from the home-team advantage was a mix of well cited arguments and a ruthless trolling component. It’s a relentless form of arguing, where many people can get together and reverse the general consensus.

So when some far right person came in and thought they were being witty with some canned racist/sexist/homophobic remark, we would simply bully them, Tell them to post hog, etc. Same thing with Liberals depending on the comment. Good faith comments are typically met with a thoughtful response. Nowhere else on reddit could you have the level of backup to drown out the fascist elements on that site.

This culture is a shock to a lot of people but I assure you we’re very nice people and I think some of us are just a little too excited to dunk again.

I hope this helps a bit. We’re all extremely anti-fascist. We do have critical support for previous socialist endeavors, because the horrors of capitalism and it’s bedfellow, fascism, have still more than outdone the harm socialist projects caused.
