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

What was there to make fun of? "LOL this tankie is trying to address problems diplomatically"
They're doing internet edgelord shit. Kindness and diplomacy are evidence of weakness. They've already decided we're ontologically evil, and anything we do regardless of what it is proves that. Unfalsifiable orthodoxy.
there's not enough PPB in the world for that instance
You let people like that hang around and you're tainted by association IMO.
A fish rots from the head down.
If diplomacy fails, we have no choice but to brigade their instance and take over the east
Theyre deleting comments calling them out for using the -tard suffix. Lol. Lmao
Cw:ableism, racism
Ada needs to get her mods under control
Can we have our own defed vote, which ends 2 days before theirs?
My argument: I think it'd be funny.
if there's no willingness or ability to address mods who post harmful content towards trans and disabled comrades, I'll do it.
imo we should find some way to forcibly federate and burn down 196
they send one of ours to the hospital, we send one of theirs to the morgue
Touch one, touch all.
You shouldn't have had to take that
Especially since you were working so hard on putting out fires before they started
wtf. She's the fucking admin. Does the mod have a gun pointed to her head or something? This is completely ridiculous. "I have admin rights, but I can't do anything to a subordinate who I personally appointed." Don't gimme that shit.
You've been had. She's just the good cop in the good cop, bad cop routine.
It really does seem like she’s laying the groundwork to defed from Hexbear next week.
That whole thread is the first thing that makes me think we should actually defederate with them. The amount of bad faith is untrue, and allowing such an unprofessional mod is untrue.
Even after Ada made the request not to leak DMs, the response was just some awful bad-faith scribbling over it with a pencil and still keeping it public. Absolutely awful. Props to you for reaching out and trying to have a discussion
