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
Lemmyworld can't defed lemmy without severing its relationship with the developers and that would be absolutely stupid and ridiculous to do. All effort from lemmy official development would go towards promoting something else.
If you don't like the developers the problem you have is with lemmy entirely. Use something made by liberals?
Oh yeah... The problem you have is that liberals don't want a decentralised internet. They don't want to challenge the corporations. They hold the ideology that put them in power in the first place.
So either suck it up and try to understand why it is that leftists are your only option for development like this, or piss off.
I was literally just going to comment this. They are trying to build their own lemmy, with blackjack, and java (and no tankies, I assume)
lol good luck with that
its hard to imagine the top minds at beehaw and lemmy.world pulling together enough resources and organization to reimplement lemmy from scratch, but I do think it's a non-zero chance they get it to work. All because they couldn't hang it in rust and can't stand dealing with commies
Imagining a software project where everyone believes they are the manager and no one is doing any work. This will surely show those Hexbears
To be real though, if they somehow succeed it'll just be good riddance, the annoying smuglords will fuck off to wherever and the intellectually honest liberals who are interested in having actual debates and ask questions instead of being a know it all smuglord (aka. the fraction of liberals who are actually worth interacting with) will still be there and above all will be able to talk with us without the discourse being polluted.
In fact now that I think about it, we should really find a way to encourage good faith liberals to talk with us and discourage smuglord behavior, I actually enjoy debating with liberals when they are arguing in good faith.
Yes, please talk more about this. People get too aggressive with libs who are good faith but just also philistine.
One thing to do is post a thread where you invite liberals to talk with you and set as a rule that everyone eschews unnecessary rudeness. It's gone well in the past, at least the couple of times that I've seen it done.
That's a very good idea, we should do that, maybe make it a periodic thing, a weekly megathread specifically to speak with liberals.
I still don't understand the point beehaw is trying to make with their instance or why they think federated systems work when they need to control all parts
I get Java could get them more devs but fuck why would anyone voluntarily choose it as their language on something new
what does that mean?
what the hell...
why would they make it in java?
ew that sounds disgusting.
