the_dunk_tank
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

im really not even angry, this is fucking beautiful
like what does that even mean? how did your brain make such a leap that it could have crossed the grand canyon? I really keep trying to respect some liberals but a bunch of their ideology boils down to "I don't like thing, so it is bad, and this bad thing is also every other bad thing" and then pretend they've unlocked the secret to the goddamn universe.
pretty sure it is just a professional troll. finds it fun for some bizarre reason
It got booted from blahaj first, used that as pretext to get us to shit on that instance, caused trouble here and got booted, used that as pretext to cause trouble on a new instance, rinse and repeat
I think the beef with blahaj started before it got here. Iirc there was some association with r/196, and the anti-tankie crusaders + chasers that implies
Yeah our beef started prior, meaning it was all the easier to get us to shit on them in this instance too. Just manipulative/trolling
pro gamer
Imma take a look
I hope they mean this in like a very very good way
okay please explain to me what this means I legit am just ????ing at this right now
I bet my life savings they were saying dumb libshit or discriminatory bullshit and high tailed it because they got rightly dunked for it
oh god they mainly post on beehaw, Lemmygrad basically created that community after a bunch of lemmy gusanos raged that their terminal liberalism got absolutely torn to shreds by the effortposting gods.
Okay they seem to be completely genuine too, because they have good takes mixed in with it. Critical support to them dragging CookieJarObserver (some of you remember this "I AM THE OBSERVER" fucking weirdo) through shit on Israel.
Now that i've looked through, you could be right, because they have hexbear takes everywhere besides when they're hating on hexbear, okay and some libshit about finding 'unbiased leftist sources'
my real contention is finding out their posting on hexbear, what were they arguing about. Give it to us you nerd, I dare you!
I'm going to be on the side of 'they're just really libshit' because its just too authentic
said a lot of racist and transphobic stuff, specifically. iirc about chinese people
From its lemmy.blahaj.zone modlog (where it's also banned):

Dronerights?
IS THIS LITERALLY DRONERIGHTS?
holy SHIT this just gets better
OH MAH GAWD ITS DRONERIGHTS
I did not see this shit coming oh mah lawd, this is like if Liberal Socialist started posting on lemmy.world im fucking dying
Keep posting you crazy bastard, godspeed to you.
I'm not mad
You wound me
No I'm not mad. Aa
im not mad
i fucken knew it
Looks like it. I stay out of people's shit and I prefer they stay out of mine. But I knew they were trouble.
I didn't really get the defense of it, it really got combative over every little thing. I don't care if they made a single good point, its not worth the amount of whining its ban got.
What's "swarmgender"?
A swarmgender is type of xenogender that I’ve only ever seen used by systems. Dronerights in particular called itself dronegender, which I’d never heard of before.
I remember something about literally identifying as a borg drone? Also something about how communication and understanding with others was sex and therefore talking to neurotypicals was SV?
Huh, I assumed it was identifying as multiple entities internally and your outward expression is a consensus of that, or something similar to that.
I kinda jetted out of those threads early because they were extremely quick to accuse anyone of being a secret reactionary for innocuous misunderstandings. I've been around that sort of person before and it's exhausting even if you think they're right.
Dronerights never identified as having schizophrenia or anything.of the sort and instead talked about the "ergogic swarm" in reference to other people.
I am begging you, Each of You, Any of You, who understand what events this references to please fill me in on them or tell me what to search to read this history.
I have mentioned before that I was confused by the attitude towards Beehaw around here and I mostly get it now, but this is the missing piece of the puzzle. I didn't know there was a whole Thing that happened, I thought it was just a vibes mismatch.
Please, Elder Posters: teach me!
short version: well it was in the early months of the ukraine war, and some terminal brained liberals who were there started getting really angry in the news articles. Every news post had 50 or so comments at least with Yogthos and the others (I was there yay im so cool im like the best and smartest) basically predicting how the ukraine war would turn out with lots of sources whos predictions were a mirror image of how the war is turning out now (marxist leninists stay winning). This got some folks really, really mad, so they decided to find and hide in a 'free speech' instance, beehaw. The biggest immigration to beehaw were people part of the massively pro-ukraine crowd. They had nazis and turbolibs joining hands and frolicking into the sunset. Beehaw and lemmygrad were basically enemies for a bit, vying for political dominance now that lemmy.ml couldn't ban them for whitewashing nazis and the like, but Lemmygrad has since grown far beyond such losers.
It was a collection of events over the course of twoish months, with like a one and a halfish month stalemate period.
@[email protected] @[email protected] know it better than me prob, i can remember them arguing with the libs
i remember predicting that them rushing kiev was a feint and i was right and i felt big brained 🤓
Thank you for helping me understand the basics and giving me the clues to dig further when I have time.
irl, I'm a Sweetie, the "let's make a nice place for nice people" stuff appeals to me because the world is so full of meanness and cruelty. And then the layers get peeled back, and oh look, this is also mean and cruel, just in a totally different way. 😑
and I'm autistic and a lot of stuff just flies over my head unless someone is kind enough to explain it to me - thank you. ❤️ I really do appreciate your time.
Considering Beehaw users were constantly, constantly stirring shit on lemmy and elsewhere about defederating with and opposing "tankies" and, iirc, pre-emptively defederated from us, I think the attitude is self-explanatory. They are shitlibs.
@[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], probably others, plus defederated instances (blahaj, world)
Ah, now it makes sense; I thought this felt familiar.
if it's not 100% pure made up trolling, i think that resembles "unselfaware bisexual from generation that didn't talk about that sort of thing assuming everybody else has hetero- and homo- attractions too" but for gender. She/Him Grandma, if grandma exists, as described would be some kind of NB or on the apathetic end of agender.
ah, thank you
Apparently it identifies as having NPD, so this theory kinda makes sense
It's my great honor to notify you that you personally have received a reply by DroneRights in its own self-created subcomm over on lemm.ee - Here you go
I randomly saw it on an alt account and don't think you got the ping, so
