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

MODERATORS
We care too much about things that edgy cool internet people don't approve of. They care a whole lot about not caring. They make a religion out of not caring and proselytize it and wish to punish the heretics that care.
We're terminally online weirdos. The site is relatively easy to rile up, and the general culture is one supportive of a lot of stuff the main stream culture does not support.
This might be one of those situations where everyone is better off if we just ignore it
Yeah ngl, I agree. I don't see the point in starting shit with it
I still think drone rights is more likely to be a genuine freak than a troll
here we fucking go
Bizarre sort of mindset to make a "containment zone" for yourself that is exclusively run by and posted in by yourself.
Real hours
Hey mom look im famous
I guess it's kinda cool we are small enough to know our trolls by name but dronerights isnt even a good one. I liked the "swarmsexual" joke tho
Hold up, stop everything... You have the best user name I've ever seen. 
That is all, have a lovely day.
Lmao that fucking dweeb gets an entire comm to gripe about being banned from hexbear
???
It seems to be run by dronerights? idk what I'm looking at
lmao even
oh yeah i forgot about that character.
kind of getting the sense that a lot of moderators have no idea what they're doing though. like if a user is so inflammatory that people won't shut up about them, you either ban the user or ban discussion of them. you don't create a designated area for people to develop their pathologies over an internet stranger.
oh wait i forgot lemm.ee has user-created comms. well never mind then, good moderation is impossible for them.
Very glad the admins banned
Don’t take the bait
Lmao what controversy? For us it was Tuesday.
The containment, of course, does not apply to itself as dronerights has gone back over to 196 on blåhaj to spread drama and further divide:
While simultaneously talking shit about Ada the Blåhaj admin on lemm.ee 
All of this is manufacturing drama for attention and trying to stir up inter-instance conflict wherever it can find hapless rubes to buy into its false narratives.
Blåhaj didn’t want to put up with it’s behaviour so it came to hexbear to try to find a personal army.
Hexbear stopped putting up with the behaviour so it went to lib.lgbt to try to get sympathy and attention.
Also creating an entire community it runs by itself for more drama and attention on lemm.ee to find a personal army over there.
Not enough attention on lib.lgbt and lemm.ee so back to blåhaj to try to get 196 as their personal army. (despite calling the instance and admin transphobic - no, probably because of it).
All while telling hexbear, blåhaj, lemm.ee, lib.lgbt that startrek.website is also transphobic and ableist specifically against it.
There is no sign of good faith intentions here. It wants people to fight and instigates conflict.
📎 red flag
I'm fully convinced that that user was some K!w!farms-related shit-stirrer all along and that all of the above was some "lolcow" operation to please fellow cryptofascists.
I've said it before:
But the part that raised a few red flags for me was the obsession over the word narcissistic. To me, the way DroneRights broached the topic echoed the way terfs and transphobes speak about trans people being
...which made me mad uncomfy.phobic rhetoric
'narcissists who want to change the way we speak and to indulge their delusions and mental illnesses.'
And I still believe this especially after seeing that comment they made about their "helicopterkin(iirc) partner".
That one troll who said they were in the discord and kept making accounts and posting reactionary comments everywhere while claiming to be walking to a gas station hasn’t been around in a while either. Maybe it was time for new entertainment.
I haven't seen a clear confirmed reincarnation of "OrganizeOrDie" in quite some time, either. Maybe that chud adapted after 20 or so previous banned alt accounts and tried a different approach after a few months of dedicated lurking.
Or Essie or other classic, obsessed trolls.
"What is Hexbear's exploitable weakness? Yes, yeeeeeeees, they take pronoun preferences seriously! The wokescold (slurs) that they are! I shall make the ultimate weapon to surpass pronoun preferences by making extra demands and invalidating the preferences of other people!" 
Continually obsessing over pronouns. It is currently calling users transphobic libs in its vanity comm for reminding people to respect that dronerights had only [it/its] pronouns.
Actually, “goat” from meanwhile on grad is already impersonating a mastodon admin. And now there’s a brand new MOG comm with a hexbear focus instead where an obsessed person is shouting into the void. Possibility there the 🐐 impersonator was looking to branch out and source some drama to post more made up attacks on instances with politics to their left.
Meanwhile on grad keeps trying to get “tankies” to post to the nearly empty comm, now there’s another one trying to get “transphobic hexbears” to engage with an obsessed mod in a comm only they control.
DR'S thread on Ada here was honestly spot-on.
Only accidentally. Its threads and now vanity community posts about hexbear and other targets are all over the place.
Oh yeah, most of its posts are unhinged, just giving credit where credit is due.
issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terror group dronerights. you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to them.”
yuh i gotta hand i'll give em to their face heyooo
The containment, of course, does not apply to itself as dronerights has gone back over to 196 on blåhaj to spread drama and further divide:
That's ban evasion, it is already banned from blåhaj for ongoing personal attacks (including against Ada)
It’s not going to let a ban stop it from getting the drama and attention it craves.
OH lmao of course FAT_ENBIES was a sockpuppet, should have guessed since I had never heard of them but they acted like they had been directly victimized by the Hexbear Tankies.
