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

But the diplomatic stan that showed up to do damage control for the wrecker said that the wrecker was admirable and respectable and produced code treats and therefore anyone who didn't like their bait posting was unwell and needed to touch grass touch grass touch grass smuglord

Diplomacy is when you make inflammatory shitposts all week

My understanding is that it is self care for this person. That's at least what they said when asked, it helps them decompress or something like that.

I wish they'd find a better hobby

libs never should have been introduced to therapeutic language

"ummm actually wrecking is self-care, you can't criticize me!"

Twitter has a Person of the Day. Hexbear has a Person of the Week. And every week I am further convinced of the need to embrace blanqui thought.

How come? A social revolution cannot be delivered from without society.

Context? I imagine he runs lemmy.dbzer0.com since he must own the dbzer0.com domain name. Is this about some brigading coming from there?

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Check out footnote 8. Most reddit-logo guy I've ever seen

Oh, this whole thing I contributed to three weeks ago was started by @Luisp@lemmy.dbzer0.com: Is the instance hexbear conservative?

Forget touching grass. This guy needs to make sweet love to the grass, marry the grass, and have little grass babies with the grass

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (8 children)

Rent. free.

Funnily enough, I didn't even know I was the first one, but I somehow doubt this term became popular because of my obscure blog.

If it weren't you it would've been someone else so it doesn't matter too much. But I hope you've since renounced this position given that it's only purpose is to prevent criticism, and criticism is a core of activism.

In essence brigading is just people sharing content but with a negative reaction to it. Nobody has a problem with sharing content when the reaction is a positive one, it's encouraged in fact.

Anti-brigading rules is used almost entirely to suppress the marginalised and maintain the status quo in any given community. It's entirely just "you aren't allowed to share our content with other people if you're sharing it with a negative reaction".

EDIT: Not sure if it's referring to you or someone else since banned now hmmm. Might be misunderstanding who the post is about?

"Brigading" is a core reddit-logo thought. You're an immortal. Embrace your position.

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Not really rent free while you're still posting is it

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Funnily enough

You're a pathetic slime of a human being and one day you're gonna wake up and realize you wasted your life moderating nerd forums full of braindead NPCs like you who rage about made up nerd etiquette like "brigading". I'd tell you to touch grass but you've been doing this shit for so long that it's probably too late and you'll never learn not to be an insufferable worm.

[–] Flaps@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I don't even know who you are, totally out of the loop on this one.
