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
I'm trans and I really don't want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren't getting de-modded and banned. I also don't want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.
Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.
It's kinda wild the things they'll make up or twist about Hexbear while allowing this sort of thing on their own instance. I'm becoming more in favor of defederation by the day. Our admins and mods worked swiftly to fix the issues we were causing. I've seen ableist and transphobic things coming from that instance and the most they get is a removed comment. Never bans.
If we do defed I think it's important to state that it's because of the bigotry.
Mind you that will probably just get the "Oh? The RED FASH are concerned about bigotry when they support [insert thing we don't support here]. Aww I feel so bad! Anyway..."
Who fucking cares. They can winge all they want we know we are right. They can all go fuck themselves.
Damn right.
