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

Yeah, it basically comes down to a complete lack of comprehension for how big something like twitter really is. On the surface level the functionality is pretty simple. But there's so much else going on that nobody sees, and a whole heap of it will be interconnected.
Twitter web, twitter app for ios and android, twitter api, advertising, content monitoring, content storage, caching, serving, twitter for businesses, content algorithms, accounts, privacy features, user settings, theming, ui, ux, embedded content. That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure a lot of these huge companies could be a bit leaner than they are, but usually the size is somewhat warranted.
This guys whole thing is just making stupid takes based on absolute surface level knowledge of things and sounding confident enough that people buy into it.
