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

It honestly looks like a really good bit.

yeah don't wanna go to hard on them because they are nice and sympathetic to hexbear but why in the ever living fuck would you post this...

[–] blame@hexbear.net 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

oh they might be memeing then, i didnt realize this was the same person further up the thread defending us

eh it came across as serious to me too, although I could see how this was supposed to be a joke too

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure this was a joke

[–] destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

now that someone else has said it I can see how that could be the case now. this is why I'm a big fan of tone tags even if I'm not the best at using them myself all the time

Same here. Every time I read some post away from hexbear, I become more of a fan of them, I can't tell what is sarcasm and what isn't. Is it a joke, or did I just encounter i-am-adolf-hitler
