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

In the comments:
Why are cryptofascist dogs barking all across the neighborhood?
Besides appropriating dogwhistles. This argument is liberal chud.
The main power of firefox is that its a non-chromium and libre browser that sees active maintnence by a corporate entity. It's the default browser in most GNU/Busybox + Linux systems for a good reason (tradition, powerful configuration). It's politically relevant and vital to a Free operating system.
Too bad that will go over all their heads as they argue about which billion dollar company makes them the most "features"
If Firefox goes under or gets to a low enough % of users on the Internet, companies are going to stop supporting it (kind of already are) which would be literally handing the Internet to Google to make all the rules, decide which technologies to deprecate, which to introduce (web attestation for example). Good luck getting a new browser to be supported anywhere after that.
But they refuse to engage with that, they go on the defensive. "You will pay for disturbing my quiet enjoyment of treats
