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

lmao, just saw this. way to completely misrepresent the survey. it was stickied on the main page for 3 days, i didnt take any comments outside of that window, and over 1/3rd of all active users during that timespan participated. its a fairly accurate sampling within a 5-10%ish margin (eyeballing it), though IMO the trans or cis woman pop would likely be higher if the survey was anonymous.

imagine hating hexbear so much you start to barge into trans spaces as a cis guy and tell those silly airheaded transgenders how to be a good transgender (shocking shocked-pikachu)

Could not even concieve the idea that our admins would care enough to pin a survy. inconceivable

my god , i think i just read the best ever general reply :

I see that you still have not been able to recover from your brief exposure to world systems theory.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Are taglines from off-instance allowed? Because that is a banger

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

I see that you still have not been able to recover from your brief exposure to world systems theory.

The tagline "Let’s highlight the actual points in this article instead of taking Hexbear at their word" is from a lemmy.world user

[–] [email protected] 63 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Due to self-selection bias (this survey was conducted in their trans community, after all) you cannot make any meaningful inferences about the proportion of trans people on Hexbear as a whole. It may well be representative of the subscribers to their trans community though.

Except that this was stickied on the main page for a good few days and has in maximum size font words to the effect CIS FILL OUT THIS SURVEY TOO and kristina acknowledged that the informality of the survey was also in part due to the difficulties in conducting a thorough survey in a secure manner

keep talking out your arse, ruffled

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

people actively try to work on creating a space that isn't reactionary as shit

trans people feel comfortable using it

???????????????????????????????????

How stupid can you be its the most A to B logic thing that can exist. Also everyone here is funny.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can't even harass him for talking absolute shit because defed. : yea

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Did they defed us? Im pretty sure he's just banned. owned-2

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lmao that's right he's the other admin

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes we banned both the admins but stayed federated lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

we love our admins here don't we folks

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

unruffled. unseething. hexbear pays 3000usd/month rent in his head for a single braincell.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why do they even give a shit?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

They not only see themselves as "allies", but also as the most furthest left you can go, so our existence makes them uncomfortable. This ironically leads to them going mask off for a brief moment, by denying trans people's identities based on what their politics are. "Allies", indeed.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When you're "as far left as they come", anything to the left of you must actually just be fascism. Communists are just red fascists, anarchists are fascists whenever they do anything cool or use violence. Only people exactly as liberal as I am get to be called left.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

perfectly put

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (2 children)

polite fascists pretending to be progressives absolutely cannot stand encountering actual leftists. it makes it hard to pretend in front of themselves that they're not fascists.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Idk they thought they were trying to be progressive lol. Thought they were just going for centrists

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The liberal brainpan cannot tolerate encountering a political position that does not admit compromise unless that position harms groups large enough to be considered undifferentiated "other"s. Many such cases: racism, trans rights, animal rights, children's rights, refugees, and I'm only hitting the highlights. To be firmly and immovably on the liberatory side of any such issue is purity politics, but there's always room to kill a few more "other"s so the frothing blood cult will consider not voting down a non-binding procedural motion too hard. On the other hand, we know every billionaire by name, so it would be uncivil to suggest barbara-pit

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago

Once again a cis "ally" rears its head to tell us what trans people are the proper ones worth listening to.

I'm afraid it's metastasized and already terminal: Hexbear Derangement Syndrome

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

It spreads through hog fecal matter, many such cases.

Got removed,

spoilerPSA: Any trans people looking for a non-toxic instance would do well to consider [email protected] or another trans-friendly community. While Hexbear claims to be trans-friendly, they don't cater to western progressives at all, so you better be willing to embrace their whole marxist/leninist tankie schtick. Also note that the charts in this post are essentially meaningless, as this wasn't in any way a statistical random sample of users, and this was even acknowledged by the original poster on Hexbear. Due to self-selection bias (this survey was conducted in their trans community, after all) you cannot make any meaningful inferences about the proportion of trans people on Hexbear as a whole. It may well be representative of the subscribers to their trans community though. Edit: way to prove my point lol

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

lol, lmao

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

lmao, the Shark caucus Discord split echoes throughout history. Fondly remembering that incredibly toxic drama and the very normal posting.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You messed up the spoiler tag.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does it work now?

My app doesn't show spoilers properly so it always looks broken to me

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yep. stalin-approval
