Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Just a reminder some of the "Marxists" there are of the CIA-compatible variety. Vulgar views, abuse of standard Marxist/AES positions (especially around sex work, they call those who uphold the Marxist position SWERFs).
Not awful but not free from problems either. Can mostly be ignored but I foresee struggle sessions in our future on certain issues. Certainly rather federate with them over any of the other instances but I hope our mods have their banhammers ready and we have our downvotes handy because they have some BAD takes.
Those will be a thing to watch. Hexbear is notorious for their struggle sessions.
What actually are the "struggle sessions" on Hexbear? Like, is it just a popular argument or do people actually get banned over them? Because some people seem to be taking them seriously.... which seems silly.
There do tend to be bans (but smurf accounts are common because they only have permabans). Their struggle sessions are infamous because you'll get heated arguments over the dumbest shit. Some notable ones are the outdoor cat struggle session, the rock stacking struggle session, and the bidet struggle session.
I've been on many sites that enthusiastically argue over the dumbest things and in the harshest language, but to take them seriously and banhammer people over those disagreements is a level I can't imagine descending to.
Even when old /b/ would ban people for not liking chocolate milk and pouring it down the sink, it was obviously ironic.
Yea no kidding, I saw that struggle session about toilet paper v bidet and noped out for a few days. There's being terminally online then that...Has its own term.
TBF I don't think they'll have temp bans until they merge the upstream.
