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

MODERATORS
I think it's more similar to the red scare in the way that people are trying to get people fired/deplatformed that hasn't really happened since except maybe post 9/11. Although it is for sure genocide denialism.
I agree but I'd say that another similar time was the lead up to the Iraq war, through the early part of the insurgency where people still thought we could win.
Like everyone was so bloodthirsty and brutal to anyone who objected.
Then we started getting our asses kicked and everyone turned on a dime and pretended they were against the Iraq war from the start.
