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

I've been holding this in, but now I'm officially swayed that federating has been a mistake.

As soon as users are able to block entire instances, reactionaries will post hot takes, they won't able to see any of the responses dunking on them because the responses are all from users on an instance they blocked, and it will be very funny

Same, i will seriously leave this site if we don't at least get local-only comms soon, and even then i have to see how onboardig all these new cishet lib users will change things. Could've stayed on reddit if i wanted the garbage that makes up this site atm, even if i sort by local it's just threads like this. It's so grating. I don't recognize this place anymore.

I've never seen you support minorities, definitely not because I ignored it every time I saw it.

We are so owned, it's over.

"Actions speak louder than words"

proceeds to point to our words
