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

You can actually still use them, though more hexbears are always great.

There's a thread with nearly all the emojis posted, from there you can get links to them directly and then post them with image links using the format (after removing the spaces):

! [image] (link)

Example:

It's a bit roundabout but it works

Lmao is this how big Hexbear emojis appear on other instances?

4k pig poop balls

Yeah they're enormous. I kinda get why people find them annoying but IMO it just adds to the hilarity. If it bothers you that much you need to get off the internet.

Back in my day every single post was follow by a giant incoherent mess of quotes, banner images, and gifs that never made any sense in context!

Retvrn to when my friend played like an hour of FFVII and joined a SquareEnix forum and thought "CloudZeroX" was the coolest possible screename that could possibly be created and bragged about it to me. We were like 11.

I’m getting secondhand nostalgia. Sounds great.

Yeah like two emojis are an entire screen full when using Memmy

I know they’re wrong but I get to see them in glorious detail

[–] burnt_toast@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

They cover up the comment text but I don't care. Just have to imagine the post instead

if you use the : legacy-call : then the emojis wont be so large :large-adult-son:
