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

It's difficult to articulate how fucking annoying this type of condescension is. It becomes downright enraging when I remember how it comes pre-installed on you people. You've spent too much time on and the bird site. There's some hivemind/cult shit going on where everyone's thought, speech, and argumentative styles all converge on the same, smug point. Stop it.
Okay, I'll be earnest. Framing something subjective as a self-evident truth is exactly what I said - annoying. An opinion given in the form of "It's almost like $my_opinion" is an archetypal example of reddit/lib smugness that I strongly dislike. And its construction is repeated and duplicated across so much of social media (or at least those two sites) that it feels simultaneously robotic. It's autonomous snark, if you follow me. Speaking personally, it triggers such a strong and immediate reaction because I left reddit in part to get away from these endlessly repeated phrases and idioms and sentiments. Does that make sense?
I think your comment might have exceeded their character limit.
