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

Yeah this type of shit is popping up on my feed. Which is inevitable since I was checking on a few livestreams from Gaza before the Israelis decided to level the neighborhood I was watching...doomer

Yeah I got this one too. Is this straight up propaganda being paid into feeds you think?

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could be. Then again considering everyone is probably looking up stuff related to Israel and Palestine all it takes is for one SEO face thumbnail or "controversial" take to get boosted via the algorithm.

Yeah I assumed it was YouTube’s annoying habit of trying to “expose viewers” to multiple viewpoints by serving me Jordan Peterson videos after I watch a democracynow show. It was just weird because all of the sudden I got that one, and a bunch of guys I e never seen offering their reactions to the hamas battle plans that Israel “found”. Mind you I had watched a fair few videos covering Gaza stuff.

Hasan did a 3 hour takedown on this video with Princeton history prof just this afternoon. It was pretty great, idk if he puts those videos on YouTube or if you can watch them later on Twitch or something.

Definitely a cw for racism in the original video, it’s pretty gross.

fan channels do put segments like this on youtube, his official channel doesn't upload most of the things he streams, I found a video here uploaded by a fan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXF5C2c0UYs

I flagged this for Violence. Didn't even bother to watch.

[–] capitanazo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ok give it to me what's the reason? (I'm not watching that vid)

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I think Hasan is doing a takedown thing, idk if he posts clips but I'm not watching the youtube video either.
