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

Fr fr but are we erasing someone's transness when we call out the
? Nope.
Correct. My view is it's not productive or necessary to get into who is or isn't a cop, because at the end of the day it's unknowable. Wrecking/other disruptive conduct is the problem, so I tend to focus on that.

Everything that I've seen from that instance is duplicitous two-faced behavior. I think some people here are still caught up with federation hype. Carving a space for trans people on Lemmy doesn't need to look like a federation of trans instances. It could also look like one giant instance where transphobes, terfs, enbyphobes, chasers, and other reactionaries get sent to the blender and any instance that dares to traffic transphobia receives a warm visit from the All Active Army.
Yeah it was a shame because even as a lurker I was kinda excited to see it blend but after watching the little shit storm kick off its just disheartening.
