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

They are so irony poisoned that sincerity is alien to them.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah there's plenty of sincerity around here, we just don't feel a need to engage critically with people who deal with others in ignorance and arrogance.

I think queermunist is a friendly poster and what they are calling out is the sort of stuff like in the posted screenshot

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago

I meant that Mewtwo can't comprehend sincerity.

[–] blight@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what are you even referring to lol

The poster in the screenshot? Saying this instance gives a vibe of "conservatives pretending to be a trans"? They can't image anyone actually being honest.

haha i just saw you were from another instance and in the context of the OP i assumed hostility

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

We have a lot of cool posters from other instances right now so I wouldn't automatically assume they're up to no good. Especially with a name like queermunist haha

[–] blight@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

indeed i've came across a few but the context of the post just tipped the scales for me i think

Thanks for being understanding. One thing that sucks about federation I’ve noticed is that I’m definitely more suspicious of people from other instances. I hope you and others like you don’t get hit with too much friendly fire and am grateful for you sticking through it.
