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

fuck it. everyone is defederating from everything. every user gets their own unique instance and nobody can comment or vote on a different instance.
Fuck yeah don't get in ma brain! Reading other people's thought words is authoritarian AF!
Reading is literally someone transmitting their thoughts into your brain. It's a form of communist brainwashing and the only defense is illiteracy.
unholy Saganic occult magic
Literally the neoliberal attitude toward literacy programs
Quite literally this tweet right here
Communism is when you teach illiterate people their ABCs
excuse me sir you're in hexbear territory may i see your papers
oh no, multiple people want to address something in your comment. the horror.
America is when marketplace of ideas (good!)
Russia is when breadline of ideas (BAD)
Wow, the Russians that made the sign by that breadline had really good English!
I want to just post bad takes with no repercussions! It's not fair that I have to defend my positions! The market place is ideas isn't supposed to allow your kind!
No no no, you see, we have to politely queue up in turn when replying, like mooks in a Bruce Lee movie!
Maybe you should stop posting state department propaganda.
if i didn't want to be made fun of, i would simply post good ideas.
We get it, you're popular.
If you manage to con yourself into taking anything said by anyone here at all seriously ever, that's your own lookout. Take it as an opportunity to dunk right back.
Wait, are people on hexbear actually communists? Shit...
we joke to cope with living in hellworld. we're extremely clear about who we are and what we believe. it's almost like communists disdain to conceal their views and aims, or something. I wonder if anyone has written that down before...
That's not what they meant. They meant that these are randos on the internet, most of whom are maladjusted, so why do you care what they say? The beliefs are typically sincere. Kim Il-Sung was better than any US President and even making the comparison is kind of insulting, like saying your whole-grain bread is healthier than any type of insecticide.
Ok cool, you admitted to being one of those "it was just a joke bro" fascists. Go fuck yourself.
"All I did was make frivolous accusations of genocide by an enemy of my country and now people are worked up! Must be that Authoritarian Personality."
😔
multiple people disagree with you? The horror. Go back to reddit if you want your echo chamber back.
Look if you don't ban posting, you're only treating symptoms of the problem.
This is unironically my take on the mastodon defederation drama. I host my own single user instance I only follow other single user instances. It's 2023, people should know how to rent a VPS and run like 3 commands.
