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

MODERATORS
I wonder if Lemmy.world's Red Scare will result in more leftists leaving .world, and more Liberals from Reddit replacing them, creating a schism between Lemmy.world and related instances, and Grad/Hexbear/.ml. a sort of Multipolar Lemmy.
It's already happening when lemmy.world defederated from Hexbear. In general, there's no point in using Lemmy, which is still missing features from Reddit, unless you:
Subscribe to political ideology that's against the Reddit mainstream (eg socialism and open fascism)
Are into TOS-violating activities (piracy, shoplifting, buying drugs online, depraved pedo shit)
The people doing it for FOSS reasons are few in number, and the people doing it because they hate spez have crawled back to Reddit.
By defederating from Hexbear and Lemmygrad as well as being intolerant of that piracy comm means that lemmy.world will eventually slide towards fascism as its way of growing. In general, other Lemmy instances will either fade into irrelevance or adopt one of the two. If a Lemmy instance isn't spicy enough, it'll either orient itself towards socialism or towards fascism. Look at an instance like beehaw. They are openly contemptuous of the socialist instances, but since they, to their credit, also refuse to slide towards fascism, they have become irrelevant.

Oh, of course. Lemmy.world is the great net that specifically captures Radical Liberals with no specific, niche interests. It's a more terminally online Reddit.
any leftist that stayed in lemmy.world after they blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and defederated from hexbear.net is not that leftist

People are trickling in from Reddit all the time, I don't fault new Lemmy users for just picking the largest general instance.
