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
Internet communists in .world's minds:
nefarious agents of evil governments performing psychological warfare against adherents of the only correct ideology - western neoliberalism
Internet communists irl:
A poorly edited picture of Angela Merkel stretched over a scalene triangle titled "Angular Merkel", 150 upvotes
What's really incredible is their ability to say how we are evil propagandists with a straight face when probably 90+% of hexbears never/rarely interact with a single federated post and mostly just shitpost among ourselves
When we first federated, several instances we had not federated with, had posts on their front page about how they had to defederate from us, because we were brigading. Again this was from instances we were not federated with.
Also a lot of lies about how we would downvote their posts lol. Libs love talking out of their ass.
Our posting power is just so immense that a 10% effort wrecks havoc on them
They really are like "Everyone who disagree with us are a conspiracy". Turns out it's the peoples constantly accusing us of being in an echo chamber who never had their positions challenged until now and couldn't take it when they finally were 😂 .
It was a lot of fun to be able to copy paste the same dunk on the deluge of dummies that would write variants of "oh very interesting that you meet me with this much hostility, simply for challenging your worldview"
Spent a lot of time spelling out to them that, no, saying "putler bad" isn't challenging anything and the hostility they experience actually comes from the fact that they're saying the same shit as every other uneducated person and people are tired of smug assholes thinking the smell of their farts is an innovative and insightful contribution.
Courtesy of peoples who meet us with hostility simply for challenging their worldview
They are so smug and terminally lib that they think they don't have to study the political system of a country nor the conditions it exists in in order to understand it, they just need to check the vibes and they are suddenly a turboscholar on the politics and economy of a country they didn't knew existed 2 weeks ago.
In a way it shows how communist countries are treated at a much smaller level. They’re responsible for everything bad and every flaw they have will be held up to a microscope and magnified several times over to make them sound worse than they are .
That was a fun week
