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 sorry what's wrong with those screenshots? I see not a single problem in any one of those screens????????? Jokes about Blahaj, the IMF and some other stuff, staying inside Hexbear, is not a reason to defederate at all. Weird.

People having a good time joking among themselves on Hexbear is not disruptive behaviour. It's not trolling, it's not disruptive, it's not harassment or abuse. Are there tankies here? Damn right there are. There are also anarchists, democratic socialists and there's probably a socdem hiding somewhere that hasn't yet been bullied too much for being a lib. This is just anticommunism. "Tankie instance" is just "they allow communists". It's incredible colony-brained shit, these people need to decolonise their minds.

One of the screenshots is literally just someone explaining how our custom emojis work lmao wtf

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

It has tankie in the name, definitive proof that we are evil.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

It was me, I'm the horrible red-fash tankie explaining emojis sankara-salute

[–] Jinond_o_nicks@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And even a trot!

(Hi, it me. I'm new here!)

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I apologize in advance for all the pika-pickaxe memes.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

these fuckers just can't stop lying. how is it possible that so many people keep repeating that we mass-downvote posts when we literally disabled downvotes years before federating

And we upvote people from our own instance 😱 the horror.

I'm doing my part!

How did they not recognize the Grover Iraq pasta. Netizens these days have no appreciation of history.

[–] build_a_bear_group@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Sorry I got us further defederated. I thought that if I was more pro-American, it would appease these anti-tankies.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

trump-anguish pawb.social just stated that they're “the Furry Community's hub on Lemmy.” Will someone from their depleted and neoliberal instance please inform them that we too have a Furry Community, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than theirs, and our Furries can shitpost!

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i mean its not bigger right, 650 subs vs 1k users on pawb

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

They've made like only 4 public posts in the past 24 hours, which tbh is the arena that really matters

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Aww I was having fun with one of them, I almost got them to post a whole source to back up their claims!

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Idk why furries feel so strongly about communism. Shouldn't they be arguing about furry stuff.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

they thought these posts were serious

No way data-laughing

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wait did they seriously cite me making a /c/traa community as a reason to defederate? lmaoooo fuck off transphobes

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm assuming that screenshot is about the tagline.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah maybe they should make that clear 🤔

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

They're seriously claiming they defederated with us because they thought "Operation IKEA Freedom" was serious.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Fuckin' lmao they screencapped one of my comments explaining how emojis work as evidence that we're tankies
