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

that's impossible, since it requires some degree of expertise, which is literally inconceivable for these people. in their view, anyone positioning themselves as having a rare (or sometimes just slightly uncommon) skill is actively trying to defraud you by making you pay them to do something that would be easy for you to do yourself. i think this evolved out of a devaluing of "low skill" jobs. eventually it was used as a criticism of Pollock-style modern art, you know, the "i could paint that" thing. the fact that it has become a general criticism of any professional category is deeply funny to me.
