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
even banned users are evading and participating in a community it calls reactionary and transphobic just to stick it to hexbear tankies

That user is dronerights, talking about itself.
It was banned for transphobia.
I look forward to a week or two from now when we can just lump it in with![emoji silver-legion silver-legion](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/69ad0a8e-9399-4487-b700-5f251ca0bd7f.png)
Ngl, dronerights was a way better wrecker than silver legion, like it caused a large struggle session on blahaj, hexbear and beehaw one after the other.
But now it's just clawing to have that level of, idk, influence again. in a way, its fall from posting grace is kind of depressing![emoji sadness sadness](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3de7432c-5d0b-441d-9167-0c61cc3838ab.png)
I'm unfamiliar with this piece of hexbear lore.
Silver legion or dronerights?
Silver legion.
Can't remember how long back it happened, but it goes a little something like this:
A user called Silverlegion
posted this screed in main
Hello Chapo community. We have been working in the shadows for a while to sow discord in the community. We have alienated dozens of your members. We have led innocent people to be slaughtered by your hands. We have hacked into and suicided accounts. We might even mod a comm or two. The time for cooperation is over. Our only goal is to make this community unsafe and ensure its users feel unwelcome.
We reckon you have about 2 months before this site closes for good.
Remember the three S’s: Scare, Scatter, and Sabotage.
We are Silver Legion.
Keep an eye out for us. Expect something big soon.
From then on for a while any time a user was banned, Silverlegion would post from an alt claiming they hacked the user that got banned to make them post cringe, with the claim that they were going to cause Hexbear to fight amongst themselves until no one is left.
Eventually Silverlegion claimed that they were gonna hack Hexbear and permanently take it down somehow.
On the day Silverlegion claimed Hexbear would fall, the site was closed for a while for maintenance.
Hexbear users found the whole affair hilarious and parody accounts were made to make fun of Silverlegion.
To this day it's unclear whether Silverlegion was a Hexbear that was really committed to the bit, or a wrecker with a habit of threatening way beyond their capabilities.
