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

Sometimes I like to look up the origin of the taglines. So I looked one up and found this old thread...

https://hexbear.net/post/1640059

I don't know this for sure, but I'm almost certain all of the other accts in this thread were eventually banned for being alts of DayOfDoom (HaruhiSuzumiya got herself banned during that thread about DayOfDoom's banning by being sus about it, the other got banned around the same time for unspecified ban evasion)

Literally arguing with themselves, completely artificial thread, and managed to get into a tagline

My honest reaction to this information:

The tagline from this thread is:

Apart from further Luna Rossa flankers, would also recommend (re) testing more of the Prada Infusions for a less gourmand, sweet and/or woody, also fresher, crisper and more transparent take on somewhat similar notes, as well as the many AMen flankers, perhaps especially Pure Wood and Pure Tonka, while not entirely dismissing the other flankers and maybe also Kenzo Homme Boisee to certain extents

lol i remember this, I wonder how it even became a tagline its not even funny.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

taglines dont need to be funny (I think) just weird is enough imho.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Its not weirdness or funniness per-se. Its the quality that makes you say "GOOD post", nod, and then tab over to a different post to construct an emoji diorama about it.

does this mean I should be honored about mine instead of horrified

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I feel like both is appropriate. Mine's about rapunzels's dick, so yeah.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago (3 children)

i have written such bangers, with upbears in the 0-5 range and none of them have ever become a tagline trans-sad

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Having your comment become a tagline is bourgeois decadence.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

Tagline this mods

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

I have something as a tagline and it's not my best work folks

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

One of my comments was a tagline, the Hazbin hotel one

Day of doom was just an extremely elaborate bit account(s). I have always thought this and nothing has made me think otherwise since.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Day of Doom got banned ? I enjoyed most of their antics/posts tbh. Shame.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Apparently for harassing other users in DMs. Power poster but also kinda a menace behind the scenes

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ah right I remember the harrassment stuff. Yeah thats a no-go. Sucks they couldnt be chill.

This is Hexbear historical revisionism

Unless you're joking, in that case, wipe this post from your mind and pretend I replied with only this: beanis

I love hexbear lore. This is so goofy.

If only you knew how bad things really are, that's not even surprising. ~~Proud~~ very online to say the screenshot made me suspicious though, I could go thru a list of reasons why that convo does not look organic to the point where it's winking at us

Oh I know, the internet is completely fucked

The vibe I get from this place is that it's generally way better than the big corpo platforms, unless... you know something I don't about this place? brow

The most sus thing about that thread is the fact that it played out entirely within 10 minutes and the first reply was sent literally seconds after it was posted sus-soviet

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Right the timestamps bring this up to "winking" territory but it's entirely implausible. The whole "ladies ladies please don't fight" thing is legitimately funny if it's got any self-awareness about how obvious this is, how overly-specific

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

and the first reply was sent literally seconds after it was posted

Honestly, that's kind of impressive. I don't even know if the page could load and I could type fast enough to achieve that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

This is like some postmodern ''Warholian'' performance art á la commodity fetishism and a soirée of alt accounts with a je ne sais quoi the fuck they're talking about.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Can I just say that trolling a place where it's safe to say Joe Biden is overseeing a genocide is not cool if DayofDoom reads this. You surely have positive aspects to your posting if people talk well about you in this thread despite "the harassment" (scared wtf). Why do this. Why split your attention and personality between gimmicks? That's not what alt accounts are for. They're for being a DJ, a writer, a shitposter, and all of those things at once, at the same time in different rooms.

As I posted the other day, ActivityPub is part of the advertising material for "Israel"-based firms that collect data on the most obscure forums on the internet. They are here, dude. GROW UP! Stop trolling the only other people you know who give a fuck about a genocide. Get real.
