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

Get popcorn ready as they investigated themselves and found all that was needed was rule updates.

We taking bets on if future issues like this will be relegated to dms rather than public posts?

lemmitorqin-shi-huangdi-fireball

might as well say the admin did nothing wrong, also

That being said, using facts to bully others is not in good faith either

loser talk

it's a good learning moment for the admin and team

Rooki has given up 100’s of hours of his free time to help both Lemmy.World, FHF and the Fediverse as a whole grown in far reaching ways. You don’t immediately fire your staff when they make a bad judgment call.

lol, they're not an employee, they're a just a powertripping internet janitor. I also doubt that being a mod on storm.front has been that instrumental in growing the fediverse.

They can't do anything to rooki as they need them for the totally soon sublinks replacement of lemmy.

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

First I've heard of sublinks.

I just checked it out and on the sublinks' site there's a link to a demo that you can view. Not only is it a Lemmy instance but it literally has a link directing people to sign up for Lemmy. You can't make this stuff up.

I vote for federating with demo.sublinks because the opportunities for causing mischief are just too good to pass up.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah the demo is an old clone of world. Entire point of it is to have lemmy without those evil ml devs. because they don't want to work with the devs or learn rust

Ahaha, is this why the lemmylibs think hexbear purely consists of bad faith bullies?? agony

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

No those are misinformation facts not actual facts

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Facts are only okay when they agree with my worldview when they don't it's just bullying wojak-nooo

[–] Cyanocobalamin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

Good tegrity. Very adult in the room.

Yeah, you sure did it reddit.world...

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if any of the lost vegans will end up over here.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Idk, lad, there are some other ones like lemmy.vg and vegantheoryclub.org that they can enter too

[–] NaevaTheRat@vegantheoryclub.org 11 points 2 months ago

In the midst of all this bullshit and frothing hatred you weird little commie gremlins are a breath of fresh air.
