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
The minute you tolerate ONE neo-Nazi in an internet forum is the minute they all flood in, these motherfuckers talk to each other, they have a siege mentality like you wouldn't believe, and when one of them finds a safe space they all rush in and poison everything, next thing you know some piece of shit is comparing the persecution of mass murderers to genocide
I migrated instances yesterday for this exact reason, lemmy.ml is a bit better than some others like world but it still gets pretty bad
I am normally looking at a few different instances but had to come hexbear to refresh my mind after seeing some maddening takes about protesting on lemmy.ml just a minute ago...
You ever think about how 4chan was this place where you'd spam boxy, do random humor, prank call pizza places, etc because they had this super lax moderation style? Now it's a bastion for white supremacy. It's unusable with pornography and slurs.
Really showed their priorities when the only things modded away from the "anything goes" 4ch!n boards were, like... furry art. All that gore/snuff porn and nazi shit was fine.

Here's the now kind of classic twitter story about a surly bartender bodying a nazi out of his bar.
