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
This place is like a big cuddle party 99% of the time.
Why the fuck the 'marketplace of ideas' crowd get so offended by us?
Utilizing materialism to form a coherent worldview is, unfortunately, Authoritarian
My bad, I forgot that pointing out the bad things and wanting better things is a personal attack on people that want to live in the potemkin reality. Dangit. I keep doing that.
Because their product in the marketplace of ideas fucking sucks, and the only way to sell it to people is to ensure there's nothing better to compare it against.
Spookily analogous to real capitalist "free markets"
Seeing people generally get along online is to then like being HP Lovecraft and seeing either a fish or a Portuguese man.
I read this line and "Lovecraft in Brooklyn" started playing in my head
GONNA GO DOWN TO THE PAWN SHOP AND BUY MYSELF A SWITCHBLADE
Cuddles are communism
