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

GarbageShoot I just wanna say I really appreciate what you do over there
Aw, I appreciate it 
I'm not very active on Lemmy, there's just been a couple posts over the last few months that I felt compelled to engage with. There are other hexbears like Awoo who are way more active outside this site agitating, to say nothing of that Yuri Gagarin fan who basically has the output of an entire instance on his own.
It hurts so much to read Lemmy posts dude
"Wait, why aren't these commies as hopelessly propagandized as me? What's wrong with them?"
Yeah, honestly the most stand-out part of the thread to me was people directionlessly freaking out about the presence of those dang tankies
There's plenty of good worthwhile China struggle sessions to be had. Based purely on the title this seems to be one of the more cartoonish and unnecessary.
I think that's fair, but there's use as well to be had in attacking easy targets because it helps someone understand what a rag journals like the BBC are.
Nice try but you're not getting me to dive into a 2 day old 250 comment thread!
Fair enough
Do they not have mods over there?
The mods have been taking an ever-increasingly "hands off" approach that I don't quite understand. My most optimistic view is that lemmy is meant as a recruiting ground and lemmygrad (and the better anarchist instances, to say nothing of us) are meant to be the "for actual socialists to talk to each other" spaces.
What a lovely place full of great good awesome posters I can't wait to federate with
To be fair, we're starting with lemmygrad first
