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

197 people died 1,721 injured

That precipitated the "great firewall"

Also for instance the only thing Meta does to stop Hindutva bastards from organizing lynchings on WhatsApp is turn off forwarding sometimes

the great firewall definitely predates that, but thats very interesting history that I didnt know about. the dead roughly 2/3 Han and 1/3 reportedly "moderate"/non-separatist uyghurs. I knew there were incidents but nothing this big

obscene that there were such strenuous complaints about arrests being made when 200 people were killed in such a short time

People also tried to act like the police easily taking down the train station stabbing maniacs was some kind of authoritarian brutality. Gee, that would be nice when we have school shootings. Instead of cops just waiting until they get a high score

Yeah that was a dumb inaccurate way for me to say it thanks
