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

Do people really use it anymore? I feel like Facebook marketplace and other things like that have replaced it.

are you kidding i'm on there constantly

I bought my motorcycle through it, and sold my old car through it. I also rented a room through it a while back. I check other sites too but I consistently find that the best deals wind up on Craigslist.

Someone saying they've never heard of CL definitely made me feel like this image

Marketplace is popular but garbage design and intentions.

Craigslist is a bit more sparse but does exactly what it is designed to do, simply and effectively.

found my apartment on there a couple years back. many more before this one too.

I've gotten multiple jobs from postings there. Sold some stuff & bought some stuff.

It's an online classifieds site, that is better in every UX metric besides 'doesn't look like latest webshit' than the attempts at supplanting it like FB market, offerup, etc. The only people using those and not CL are fb [b/z]oomer types who are allergic to technology.

like the other reply said, I'll search on the other shit (well offerup anyway, you couldn't pay me to get on FB) but CL's the consistent one

I still use it but FB Marketplace has eclipsed it for the most part.
