The thing is, it isn’t a different problem regardless of how much you insist that it is. The fundamental problem is that there is content people want to post, and they are not allowed to post it where it would make the most sense, so they post it elsewhere
I browse local 90% of the time. I am here to use hexbear. “you can post this content on Reddit” or whatever is not an explanation for why it is not allowed here.
No actually it is the problem of the people going out of their way to antagonize people posting normal hexbear content, not those of us just trying to use the site
