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 [email protected]

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

i like how they think the fking Chinese or Russian Cyberinfluence division or whatever would spend any time or effort on a fking site that has 1000 active users at most

Many years ago, before I had even discovered /r/chapotraphouse, I used to post on /r/geopolitics. Of course as you can imagine the self-important nerds there would accuse people left and right of being Chinese/Russian bots. I once asked why the fuck the MSS or FSB or whatever would spend their time shitposting on a sub with like a thousand users and they claimed that "real international relations experts post here regularly" and then I got banned.

Worth it.

at least when we were on reddit it made at least a little sense, since you were connected to a larger site

the ironic thing was that user survey on reddit that found the most active city on reddit was some US Airforce base lol

any idea on how i claim my payment from the see see pee? I was promised a substantial payment, however, I have been unable to locate my local secret police station. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously I could really use the money

If any foreign government wants me to post - hit me up in the dms im ready to post on your orders. Payment in advance. I accept gold and diamonds. (NO BITCOIN)

This feels like bait... was going to add more input but also don't want to be swooped by a three letter agency >.>

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I have a special posting policy bulletin for the three letter agencies. please review at your earliest convenience.

They wouldn't be the secret police if you could find them, now would they?

Plot-twist: it's actually the the North Korean Cyberintelligence division who are making use of Juche divination to see the future and the revolutionary importance of Hexbear.

Kim Jong Un has actually been posting here personally since it was CTH kim-drip-too-hard

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We already have juche necromancy too. My bet is on juche conjuration coming next for that sweet grease + create pit combo.

Thermonuclear Bomb is a level 9 evocation.

Yeah, our FBI guy is holding on by the skin of his teeth. They keep trying to re-assign him to figuring out if ChatGPT is a Marxist. Ted, if you're reading this, we're pulling for you bro. We're always here if you need us!

He suddenly stopped DMing me the other night and I got worried. Dude’s super stressed. Turns out he just fell asleep drunk again. I’m worried about him tbh #TeamTed

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago
