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

No worries, it happens!
This might be little pie-in-the-sky, but I'd love to see something like automatic OCR'd alt text for images containing text on Lemmy (with the option to correct/provide manual alt-text). Not only would it greatly improve accessibility, it could also be leveraged for repost/relevance detection.
lemmygrad has an OCR bot that we can summon now courtesy of @CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml
But building it into lemmy would be very neat ngl and would open up things like repost detection
to try it out tag @OCRBot@lemmygrad.ml (purposefully unlinked this to not trigger it which I guess didn't work lmao)
Could not find any images with text
Neat! I'll have to remember to use that bot in the future.
