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
i hate this meme queer people keep posting in nearly every queer online space.
I rage quit the entirety of reddit today because I got banned from /r/politics for saying "I'm sure this will be the time they get trump"
I used to get a kick out of civility baiting libs and getting them banned. I have a pretty high kill count. It's not working anymore because now they just straight up ban you for not 110% supporting Biden.
Lmao I was banned from r/politics for pointing out that if Brandon keeps doing what he's doing there isn't going to be anything left in Gaza for Trump to "finish off" if/when he gets back in office.
Apparently that was "trolling" 
I've said that a few times recently. Surprised that didn't get me popped. I got a reddit cares message right before the ban and I assume it was courtesy of the whiny little shit I was stringing along.
Ehh, whatever. Back to reading actual books. Bating libs is distracting and not enriching unless you're doing it casually, like on the toilet or something.
Still in awe of Reddit's decision to add an official "kys" button.
they couldn't add it while /r/CTH stood. we would have been too powerful.
Atomized lives due to capitalism plus anonymity are creating a new kind of mean
haha same, but I have plenty of accounts so it means nothing to get banned
Please, comrade, I beg you to take care and refrain from digital self-harm. Reddit is the mind killer, it's the little death that brings total obliteration.
i have a problem.
I do too. I'm disabled and mostly stuck at home, i have difficulty reading books and watching tv for mental health reasons, and i really really for real need something to occupy my time that isn't reddit. If anyone has suggestions please share.
If you have a library card, Hoopla and Libby make it incredibly easy to check out audiobooks right to/on your phone :) I always found listening is easier than reading
Get one of those cheap Korg Volca synths and start making phonky beats
As we all know, voting blue saved Roe from the people who wanted to repeal it.
As another trans person in Florida who isn't voting for Biden, I stand firmly with you, comrade
This is one thing I love about Hexbear. I can't find this sort of principled bravery among other queer people in other places as easily. Too much cowardice and being willing to throw the victims of Empire into the meatgrinder for the illusion of their own safety.
this kind of thing has been common on reddit for a while now, its probably completely astroturfed for a while now
Not just Reddit, I got banned from lemmy 196 for the same reason
STAY LOSING, SHARK INSTANCE
Everybody who didn't like the worst aspects of reddit have been spending less and less time there since they gor rid of third party people.
At this point it's Facebook with a 20 year younger target demo.
yeah, it seems the quality of posts took a nosedive since then. not that it was going too well before.
Algorithm sucks ass now compared to a year ago and every third post being an add that intentionally mimics reddit posts tonget you to click on it aren't working.
Also I am by no means overly edgy or something but anytime I've tried to make an account in the last year it's been instantly permabanned for ban evasion because I got banned from worldnews for saying
"I am against giving unlimited weapons to proud self avowed neo nazis because after the war they'll still have the weapons and use them for neo nazi stuff"
And from politics for calling someone a naive dipshit
So anybody politcally left of being ok with arming people with black sun patches on their chest has probablly been purged.
Third party apps still work with revanced patching FYI.
But the latent fascism has only gotten more blatant over there
You can't even visit Reddit now if you have a VPN or if you don't have an account.
accepting queer spaces when a trans woman gets a lil too mouthy
Libs only support free speech until someone to their left speaks out.
It's really tiring how the tankies here won't acknowledge that Biden stopped all the anti-trans legislation that was passed under his administration
sadly online queer spaces still largely reflect the prevailing ideology of liberalism. I try not to let it get me down. I value the trans community on here because it's not like that. I'm banned from the biggest trans discord in my country because of the implicit "no communism" rule a lot of lib spaces have lol
Had a very similar experience with the biggest trans discord in my country as well.
Why am I not surprised that the countries in question are most likely NATO countries.
Aren’t there a bunch of US states that have made horribly bigoted laws, and the Biden admin has just thrown its hands up and said it can’t do anything?
Look, the Senate Pastafarian said that Joe Mansion is the only person who's opinion matters. And he says good things are illegal. That's just the rules. Smol bean powerless Mr. Pwesident can't break the rules, you nyaow?
Anyway, if you don't for for Genocide Joe, the orange man will wield unlimited power.
did you ever think about how their names are Manchin and Sinema? Like, politics is all a movie, and they sit in their mansions and watch us suffer!
Remember in 2009 when we wanted healthcare, but Joe Liberal Man threatened to talk all day, so smol bean Barry O. just gave up? They had two thirds of the seats in the senate back then. No Senate Parmigiano Reggiano required.
Yup! Obama was my first election I could vote in. Got over that pretty damn quick
Thank you for your service.
Unfortunately the defining characteristics is still that it's reddit.
It's not a lgbtq space that happens to be on reddit it's a subreddit that happens to claim to be about lgbtq.
So you can apply whatever niche aesthetician you want to the pre approved reddit conversations.
"I'm gay and think Biden is awesome"
"I'm Trans and think we should start bombing Russian population centers"
But the top priority is deff still being reddit, which means its chock full of the most self assured liberal dumbshits on the planet.
Also I'm starting to feel similarly about lgbtq people who are committed to defending democrats the same way I did about Ukrainians committed to defending Republicans early in the war.
Wish them the best but I told them they were going to get violently abandoned at the earliest convenience and was told I had no idea what I was talking about.
Same thing, best of luck relying on liberals to stand up for you. There deffinitly isn't decades of evidence and a literal pile of bodies of people who had the same beliefs.

ok
"I'M NOT MAD, I'M NOT MAD" corn cob noises
If you like that you'll love the follow up convo.
What a fuckin loser
I gave up on reddit a few months ago for similar reasons. Only sub I managed to get banned from though was r/gamingcirclejerk for a half-hearted joke on leftist memes and r/militaryporn for calling US troops murderers and the like. Also, why doesn't the spoiler option work half the time for me.
I've been posting the most unapologetic commie tankposting and all i managed to do is get a temp ban for advocating lying on your resume to get a job.
What the fuck are you serious. What sub banned you on behalf of hypothetical tilted employers? lmao that's a new low in bootlicking I didn't even consider. It doesn't add up. They're slobbering from like another side of the numbers. Something has to be genuinely wrong with your brain on like a primordial level to ban for that
Except the blue side isn't saying "I don't" it's saying "I don't care"
The way liberals are appropriating trans people to get votes is disgusting. You know like the last election they'll continue letting conservatives abuse trans people and pass transphobic laws. Yet trans people are expected to vote for them?
It's time people wake up to the fact that America has been full fash for a while now and that you can't just vote Nazis out. People need to get used to the idea that they're going to have to fight.
I agree its been full fash for awhile now and armed resistance is likely the only way towards liberation.
Once my first account got banned I just stay off it completely (unless I Google a random question and it takes me there)
