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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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 used to argue that back in CA: "The paperclip maximizer is already here and it doesn't even need to be self-aware to destroy the environment to maximize its preprogrammed imperatives."
But no, the treats they consumed said it has to be a scary (and probably sexy) robot deity first for it to be a problem.
CA?
Yeah, at some point the idea about cyberpunk/whatever other ideas about monstrous god machines being capitalism (or at least modern society, depends on how lib the author is). Early blue curtains, I guess.
California, specifically the area around Silicon Valley.
Ok, that was my first guess but I thought it was some tech bbs or something. Which isn't entirely wrong
