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 definitely saw a few who specifically said that if you engage in good faith that Hexbear isn't bad.

We are really nice actually

Just have a zero tolerance policy for imperialist propaganda

Unironically, y'all are my friends, like real friends. Not anyone specific, just the person reading this. I hope I've been as nice to you all as you've been to me over the years (shit I've been here a few years now).

Crazy how it all started. Having fun, mocking libs on reddit. Years later, somehow, here we are.

Absolutely agree with that assessment from all of the hexbear interactions I've had.

Even then I usually operate a one or two-strike policy when a first strike policy would be perfectly acceptable.

Let them learn something or reveal themselves to be bad faith dipshits.

I'd say that's true. There's a lot of well read people here who are absolutely willing to be patient with someone who was combative from the start or the second it's apparent they didn't read the room and thought whatever arrogant platitudes they posted were gonna go over just fine and then didn't. They come to our house and act out of line, they're gonna get ripped to shreds because it's our space.
