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

It seems like it's mostly contained to [email protected] and whatever meta threads people have made abiut hexbear

which is why communism-will-win

these concern trolling liberals alienate themselves from their non-worldnews-doomscrolling userbase who only have pleasant interactions with hexbear users in normal communities, and longtime Lemmy users who had been buried by the reddit exodus appreciate the balance we've brought back to those threads that do get political

we've seen it where midwest.social and lemmy.ca users have migrated after they defed with us, and it's because of this. the only people left on these instances are unhinged liberals

Yeah, that's my impression as well, we've made a lot of comments on certain posts, but it's not like we've been turning up all over the place constantly
