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 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.

I'm starting to wonder if that place is a honey pot or something, it's truly a strange place full of strange takes.
Edit:
This got me curious. I checked the moderators of r/Marxism and between all of them they manage these communities:
r/AnarchismVsMarxism
r/AnarchoFeudalism
r/antyjokes
r/askcommunists
r/communism
r/communism101
r/communismlibrary
r/communistdating
r/comradesgonewild
r/DebateCommunism
r/justfuckmymemeup
r/LeftHistoryPorn
r/leninism
r/Marxism
r/MarxistFilmGroup
r/marxistreadingclub
r/politicalfolk
r/ShittyDebateCommunism
r/showtrials
r/socialistfolk
r/thursdaynext
r/xplkqlkcassia
Between them all they all have moderation rights to a bunch of strangely named communities.

Some of them seem to be backup communties? Maybe used for CSS testing? I can't be sure. I haven't looked at all of them yet.
All of them moderate r/communism, r/communism101, r/marxism, however:
PigInABlanketFort hasn't posted or commented in 2 years. supercooper25 is active.
xplk☭ hasn't posted or commented in 2 years.
StarTrackFan hasn't posted or commented in 5 years. AlienatedLabor hasn't posted or commented in 1 year.
I mean, maybe this is just a total lack of actual moderation. If one person is trying to manage these subs, I imagine it's not easy. But a lack of comments and posts doesn't exactly mean the users are inactive, I
Reddit announced that one back in 2021: these communities used to have names but Reddit reclaimed them
