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

Oh look the sub that tries to greenwash the realities of climate change so they can have brunch isn't in tune with reality nowai

The sub is the equivalent of a child hiding under a blanket so the monster doesn't get you.

Except the monsters are real and aren't deterred by blankets, it just hasn't reached you yet.

Its worse than the council in mass effect denying the reapers exist despite seeing saren in the flesh attack the citadel. It will hit the global south horribly and they'll still be in their bubble of "heres how investor's can still win"

The sub name itself is pathetic. It's pathetic enough being a r*dditor. But it's extra pathetic to join a sub called "Optimists unite!" as if you're part of some superhero team. I can only assume their sole form of media consumption is Marvel movies and Marvel mobile games.
