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

MODERATORS
We defederate from Blahaj. Other instances say to themselves "Wow, so all we have to do to keep the Hexbears away is ableism?" and immediately go full Hitler.
Least bigoted anti-"tankie"
this and the chaser shit not getting banned are I think the strongest arguments for defederation. I hope our admins/mods communicate this to blahaj.
Have the Blahaj admins made any statements about why this is tolerated? I know Hexbear is almost uniquely vigilant but idk why they'd allow it.
The admins will get to it when they finish their other important duties, like defending NATO
I haven't seen anything and mods/admins who are in touch haven't commented, at least that I've seen.
I've seen an admin respond to the shitty DM leaking behaviour, but the admins don't seem interested in confronting the problem mainly.
authoritarian lol
and his response to being asked to remove ableism and take down the DM leak:
What's 'authoritarian behaviour' on a message forum? The only way to do that is by banning people for saying things you don't like or for any other reason.
Personally, I think that's a fine use of authority when it's censoring reactionaries reactionarying. But then, I'm not a mod with that sort of power threatening to ban people for agreeing that I should use my power to ban others for threatening to use my power to ban them.
Would it be authoritarian behaviour to ask for or demand a change of rules to say that people shouldn't be banned for exhibiting authoritarian behaviour? Is this the type of confusion that libs live with on a daily basis? Now I can empathize. The poor fuckers.
its a joke because that mod, Moss, goes on anti-tankie authoritarian red fash rants yet uses her mod power authoritatively. 
Oh hey, i saw that my comment got removed. I wondered what the reason was.
Well now what do we have here? Caught in the act and no gold to pay the fine
