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

Some of them are. It's difficult to tell if they're using bad arguments in good faith or bad faith, but it is so obviously transparent they have a fedposting problem when you engage with the user and they resort to insults or act like they're being attacked

It's so frustrating because I've been in discords where that same blood thirsty viscious anti communism proliferates.

These people will be in for a nasty shock when they realise most unions have some flavor of marxist in leadership positions lmao. But I'm assuming libs are pro union so maybe that's on me for being naive.

That kind of pig headed, stupid, aggressive ignorance has been very frustrating during this whole experiment with federation.

It's beyond a joke. I've had it in discord, irl orgs, protest groups, one issue movements massively, even my own union.

Every time you let these chuds open their mouths they ruin another chance at helping people who need it.

Makes my queer blood boil 😤
