For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

I doubt they mean "Y'all" as a gender-neutral term or that they're from the American south. They're trying to appropriate AAVE to make themselves sound like they're "down with the struggle." Your brain subconsciously knows this when you see someone doing it. Digital blackface is extremely common among white liberals.
Y’all is often associated with more poor people in common American culture (at least this is how it is perceived in the southern US) so their idea might have been to “sound more working class”
