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

reddit is a fucking poison on the internet and i resent all the redditors that came to lemmy, took a massive shit on the floor and then blamed us for trying to clean it up. normal bigots will at least be honest about their bigotry, these mfs will be openly bigoted, you'll call them out on it and then they'll call you cisphobic or something and act like the "wokescolds" are trying to send them to the pronoun gulags or something

okay but i will send them to the pronouns gulag gulag

Nah, let's just go with the inclusivity wall.

I do in fact want to send them to the pronoun gulag

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago

starting with the one who said you specifically are too privileged to understand the plight of the fragile white male chauvinist

[–] [email protected] 54 points 7 months ago (4 children)

that faux-equality shit they pull where men/women, white/black, cis/trans etc. are all presumed equal and it’s just individuals that display “in-group biases” and really it’s the poor white men that get all the backlash because of woke or some shit is so tiring, you just can’t get through to them.

This is news to me because I have been condescended to exponentially more as a decently passing white trans woman by cis white men in particular than I ever was before transition by ANYONE.

However, your anecdotal experience is just that. I have been subject to exponentially more racist abuse from black individuals than from individuals of any other race.

Funny, I'm white and never experienced racist abuse from anyone

Maybe this individual should consider curbing his cracket behaviour and people might be nicer to them

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I'm white and the only racist abuse I've received is from other white people who assumed I was the wrong kind of white.

im so fucking glad hexbear got rid of downvotes. you can see it here that its just a tool to harass minorities that you dont like

Man I’m sure all those times, all three of them, he was called a cracker by a black person, really interfered with his ability to get a home loan or be considered for a promotion.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 months ago

every time i try to explain to black people that systemic racism doesn’t exist, they keep calling me a cracker!! boohoo

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Also no idea why a guy whose this much of a total fucking loser would be getting called cracker.

Maybe it's because he was trying to explain to them how he experiences more racism from black people than black people do from white people.

I've had white people detect my eastern europeanism, I've never had a non-white person act discriminatorily against my skin.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 7 months ago

Well, I am angry at that. Women and all races deserve equal rights and possibilities. We should keep fighting for that. But white males don’t need to be transformed into comedy punching bags in exchange for women/other races equality. Can we respect everyone INCLUDING white males?

Guy tells a person who "wrote the book" on a topic that they should "read the book on the topic that they wrote". columbo-donk

Oh noes!! We shouldn't make fun of them! And we double shouldn't make fun of them if they happen to be both white and male. That's a double disadvantage! i-spil-my-jice

we love our mods dont we folks

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago

Big, Beautiful Mods! We have the best ones, we really do. Have you ever seen those other mods? Disgusting those other mods, they're not great I tell you, not great, and I know great don't I folks? It's a shame, really, I'm sure Dot World could be a nice place, beautiful communities, of all sorts of... topics and .... discussions. You know if they had mods like ours, heh, well, you know, we might be in trouble! But they don't! That's why we're the best! We only have the best people as our mods! a-little-trolling

I read a bit of this and it's just the stupidest debate bro garbage and I can't be there anymore

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I sometimes wish there was a thread diffing tool or something, where I could open a thread and see all federated comments, and show which ones were federated with a given instance and which ones were not.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If you only want to compare 2 instances, that'd be an easy tool to write and/or integrate into a client.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

That's true actually because the instances do all the heavy lifting of federation. You would just need to query both instances for the list of comments and then render them in a single page. There are plenty of possibilities for data visualization here. It would be interesting to see, for example, where votes are coming from on a given post or comment. Or get an idea more generally of which instances are interacting with posts originate from your instance.

Yeah...

Posting this felt like when I find something gross under a rock or something and I make people look at it too to be grossed out with me

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

Deeply unsurprising that these freaks behave like this

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It must be really weird having the last name 'McCarthy' with McCarthysism and such being a common -ism. If my name was an -ism I would feel personally attacked every time it was mentioned in a negative light.
