54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level. The literacy statistics for redditors are sadly even more grim.

Hey, don't be ableist! I myself read below a 6th grade level!

...In my fourth language!

Ha, my fourth language is English

Edit: (but I'm barely literate in my second language, Mandarin)

it's fine, I'm literally illiterate in my first language.

[-] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

May I ask what your first language is?

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

not sure it's a great idea to share here, sorry

[-] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

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
