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
 

Been seeing a lot of people coming in here handwringing about 'red fash' and 'muh authoritarianism.'

Figuring that this will be a common occurrence for a while, so wanted to make a collective thread here. The purpose of this is to just have one spot as so we don't fill up the comm with a ton of posts about it.

Post away, comrades!

Authoritarianism is when the left has a government

Authoritarianism is when you resist being crushed into paste by the capitalist powers of the world.

Well only if you achieve some modicum of success greater than Rojava or EZLN.

Authoritarianism is not doing what America tells you to.

Authoritarianism is when the left calls out genocidal language and defends itself against genocidal actions by fascists actively perpetrating genocide

Then they turn around and call us the genocide supporters.

I wonder how many of these dipshits are just on lemmy due to reddit's blackout and will migrate back over once their reactionary sub of choice comes back online? It's pretty fast how quickly they astrotrufed lemmy and turned it into another lib/chud hangout.

I think 2/3 will drift back to Reddit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’d say more like 90% will go back and maybe half of those will continue to use both at least temporarily. Never underestimate the lack of commitment to an online boycott.

Well, guess we'll find out today
