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 understand this to be an official endorsement of racism from the mod team at shitjustworks

Their mods seriously deleted your comment for that?! Wow just straight up defending actual WW2 Nazis

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago

Woah, did not expect their users to defend racism that hard.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. When the Western media declares a country the new bad guy of the week suddenly racism becomes magically fine if it's against 'bad country'. The same thing happened to Arabs during the 'war on terror'.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

On the face of it it's so bloody unimportant - you can't post a picture of winnie the pooh? That is truly the most oppressed anyone has ever been in history.

And then you actually examine all of the articles they have - every single citation is just "reportedly" "allegedly" "this happened to one student" ass primary sources. I've never actually looked into this in depth until now (because I actually lived in China and of course saw the fucking bear everywhere), in my mind they had more convincing propaganda than that.

E.g.

“He’s propagating the issue, and frankly, I think he’s humiliated himself by being so childish about it,” says Deb Hoffmann, who holds the world record for the largest collection of Winnie the Pooh memorabilia. “If he would’ve just let it go, it would have died down by now. Plus, if the idiot knew anything, he would be delighted to be compared to Winnie the Pooh. After all, Winnie the Pooh is a very good-hearted, wonderful, thoughtful person. Being compared to Winnie the Pooh is actually quite the compliment!”

This may be the most guts-rage shit, how they invent reality and then react to what they imagined. The making up a guy to get mad at model of journalism. Also, this person quoted is literally just a collector of marketable slop? Why would I care what they think?

Federating with sh.it.piss.balls was even dumber than federating with the Wehraboos at lemm.pee.

Did our users vote in favor of this shit to prove that electoralism is a fuck? Because congratulations, you've proven once more that it is. We need more democratic centralism up in this mfer and defed that stain of an instance immediately, what the hell did you expect from this? Almost any not openly leftist sub that is fine federating us is some freeze-peach horseshit and will always have way too many reactionaries to let them in here. You privileged fucks could show a minimum of respect for the vulnerable part of our userbase that these people come to harass here, but no, actually taking care of your queer,neurodivergent and racialized comrades is too much when it inconveniences you by giving you less opportunity to "dunk on libs". Make an account there when you want to do that. Don't bring this here.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i think the admin team prob could use some expanding and to be faster to use the banhammer tbh. i dont think the admins are generally privileged though, a lot are trans too.

ive noticed a number of trans people on other instances popping into /c/traa at least, and some even made accounts because of /c/traa and it hitting their front page.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Let the record show that I voted against federation the first time and didn't bother voting the second time.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

To be fair, it has been very funny

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The politburo that would be responsible for the democratic centralism in this case is the same group of people that decided to hold a second vote on federating with these cretins after the first was an overwhelming NO.

The same people who, like three days into federation, decided to make their drama with other lemmy admins the focal point of attention.

Sorry, but I think they've lost the plot here.

I dunked pretty hard on programming.dev before and now sh.itjust.works is racing for first for liberal chuddery. surprised-pika

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

programming.dev actually has some pretty cool people that have real discussions after everyone gets to know each other. like we have had some heated threads but almost all of them have resulted in everyone eventually going "huh, learned something new today". They seem to be mostly nerdy internet forum types and that is super cool. startrek.website seems to be the same deal.

Now shit.just.works on the other hand seems to be a bunch of anime profile pic social media users who spout reactionary thought-killing bullshit. No attempt to better understand each other or even defend. Can't even just have a normal discussion about hobbies, entertainment, or tech without one of them jumping in to say something despicable then act outraged when someone asks "wtf, why can't you be normal".

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

That's possible and I believe you, though when I spot programming.dev people it's often when I'm already seeing a terrible liberal techbro take on a thread, making me associate that suffix with terrible liberal techbro takes. I've had a much better time overall with startrek.website people myself.

Now shit.just.works on the other hand seems to be a bunch of anime profile pic social media users

That's been my experience so far too.

I understand this to be an official endorsement of racism from the mod team at shitjustworks

The image literally colors his skin yellow, this is some of the most obvious racism/colorism I've seen and yet these complete brainless children become willfully ignorant and "don't see the problem." Yes, the mods officially endorse racism and sinophobia, and I would like to put on the record that I voted against federating with shitjustworks. What has been the result? They come into our threads with their nonsense opinions and get instantly obliterated, we come into theirs and get banned. Fuck shitjustworks, on our own turf they need would a million posters to rival the power of a single one of ours.

Also these fucking chauvinist dipshits who are calling Xi a dictator know absolutely nothing about the democratic process in the PRC. And someone's seriously claiming that depictions of Winnie the Pooh were outlawed lmao? So easy to disprove.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Liberals are dogmatists who are wholly uninterested in facts

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

colorism

I don't think it's colorism, just racism. If it was, like, a northern Han person depicting a southern Han person that way, sure, but Xi is pretty pale.
