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

sh.itjust.works and a 1-user Lemmy instance called lemmy.magnor.ovh also see and reply to Hexbear comments, though Hexbear doesn't see their replies:
Yeah, I kept seeing posts like this all over kbin and they made me curious as to what's actually going on with this 'hexbear' they were talking about.
I've been lurking here for a few weeks now and it seems like one of the saner places I've stumbled across since I landed in the fediverse. So it makes me a little sad that these posters seem to have such a strong reaction to the ideas posted here. Either they're inventing things feign offence over, because they dislike the actual ideas so much, or I'm just missing all the really nasty posts on hexbear. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Liberals are so used to being "the good guys" in comparison to conservatives that they react poorly to us and our positions like "stop demolishing homeless camps" and "we're antiwar including this one"
They're so blinded by liberal ideology that they're incapable of understanding that anyone could possibly be further left than them.
Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
