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

Probably to prevent cherry picking since what they actually want to do is isolate their audience for profit, and so a rewrite in a new language means their implementation of the api will inevitably drift and become incompatible.

Then, as the biggest instance they will seek to push other sites to conform to their API and standards instead of lemmy, meaning they will take control of the lemmy pocket of the fediverse.

Anyone who stays on .world is a shitlib who wants a new facebook.

Worse (or at least more pathetic), according to the comments from a mod in the thread it's because they don't know rust and don't want to learn it.

Edit: looked again and realised it wasn't the mod saying it, it was one of the sublinks Devs themselves.
