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

spoilerIt's about having on-demand gig labor slaves to bring you food from restaurants

If it don't have treats, it ain't my revolution, baby

We live in a world where disabled people disproportionately face food insecurity. We also live in a world where gig work companies are being “partnered with” by other companies as a means to bust unions, worsen working conditions, and generally exploit their employees (no matter how much they insist on calling them contractors).

The intersection of these 2 issues is such a weird place for people to carve out hills to die on but people on Twitter manage to do it anyway.

I will say that homebound and/or blind people really benefit from doordash-like services for groceries. But that should never be used to fight against the struggle for workers rights.

Word. A lot of people do gig work because they're disabled and can't keep regular hours or whatever.
