hugbox
(slang, derogatory) An environment or thing which validates or reinforces a limited set of feelings or ideas.
First time I’ve seen that term used, and it’s a great way to describe what websites like beehaw are haha. They’re free to moderate their community as they see fit, just saying that’s an accurate way to describe their community values.
