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
I saw an LW thread about China yesterday and everytime somebody said something even mildly positive about China, some smuglord posted "two questions: is the Tiananmen massacre real and are Uyghurs genocided?" and when people discarded the questions as irrelevant, they posted some le epic reddit debate win reply. LW is worse than reddit I swear to god lol
It's worse than reddit because it's full of people desperately trying to recreate the reddit site culture that resulted from the largest traffic souces being US military bases, while using a platform that's clearly overrun with communists
And made by communists, too!
Yeah, the fact that most of Lemmy is just ex redditors with a chip on their shoulders really shows.
LW is made up of the most adamantly theory-less liberals too ideological to remain on Reddit after the API crisis. If they weren't theory-less libs, they would go to a different instance, but instead they have a cargo-cult recreation of their favorite treat turned rotten.
