I’m convinced Quora is either an LLM test ground or a CIA op to try to make people dumber/people sound dumb. It literally came from no where and was shoved on us all yet I have never heard a real human say they use it.

Vs Yahoo Answers, people were shitposting on there constantly, posts felt and looked real, were dumb but in the “I’m actually don’t know this” and not in the “I’m being wrong to upvote my opinion” way, and was “organically” picked by way of Yahoo being some people’s default site already.

Quora is Yahoo Answers, except the majority of posters there have contracted terminal LinkedIn brain and the site has the SEO of Pinterest.

I don’t think your theory about it being a CIA op is too far off - Jorban Peterman first got famous on Quora, and the power users’ politics range from libertarian hustle grindet to fascist.

But, the site would be no different whether it was ran by libertarian tech bros or the US state department.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

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 ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
