How do you not feel embarrassed after typing that edit. The iPhone flair also gives it a special kind of irony. The timing of me finding this post 5 years later right when there's a discovery of the NSA backdoor in Apple A12-A16 chips is impeccable.

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 think they mostly just reflect the culture of the demographic that dominates all of them: cishet white american men, aged 16-45
That demographic dominates the website because of decisions made on how to administer it. The kind of culture that pervades it was consciously constructed that way. That's the job of people like the Atlantic Council wonk that works at Reddit now.
