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.

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

Honestly, Iโ€™m so weary of being open minded and tolerant.

Lol, lmao.

If instances can participate in asymmetric information warfare without reprisal, the Lemmy experiment has failed.

I am asymmetric information warfare, will some please by my failed lemmy experiment ๐Ÿฅบ

But you see, if I post the gigachad xi image in a comment I win the argument and my stalin posting friends give me an upvote

it is strategically-incompetent to allow tankies to own our core tech

Dog what do they think this is, it's a reddit clone dumbass, get a grip

They're still in their "posting shit on a friendly forum where everyone agrees with you is internet activism" stage of internet activism

Getting owned for my occasional bad takes has, oddly enough, improved my shrex life.

[โ€“] [email protected] 39 points 7 months ago

Which, I would like to point out, is not my sex life. It's the romance one experiences from only watching Prestige Shrek^1^.

^1^ Shrek 2 on loop 24/7.

posting shit on a friendly forum where everyone agrees with you

B-b-but this is what hexbear is for me lol

That's fine, the distinction is (ideally) you don't think you are building your 0.0001% of communism by doing it

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Lol yeah I have literally zero illusions that posting leads to any material changes. I just enjoy chatting with my comrades.

Whenever a tankie says someone's deeply unserious they're actually saying they want to kill that person

[โ€“] [email protected] 40 points 7 months ago

I mean...

Sometimes...

Reddit was/is an asymmetric information warfare platform wielded by the feds.

[โ€“] [email protected] 51 points 7 months ago

Everyone on there posts in this insufferable overly dramatic lib tone, it's the worst.

[โ€“] [email protected] 46 points 7 months ago

Oh my god these people make me laugh so much. It's just posting and yet they think they're part of some grand global movement to spread liberalism or defeat Russia or whatever.

It's just a forum lmao. these people are no better than Qanon Facebook groups calling themselves digital soldiers

What tankies consider core tech in tankieland: High speed rail, quantum computers, EVs, railguns, solar panel factories...

own our core tech

also classic libs taking credit/ownership of shit built by communists

[โ€“] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago

Then fork the server dorks. No one's telling you to stay.

asymmetric information warfare

aka, people disagreeing with me on the internet

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

It's asymmetric because I'm wrong and that's unfair angery
