Nah, I'd say it's still pretty spot on 30 years later.

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
They actually don't want to govern and just use that as an excuse
Pretending you don't have the power to make a decision is... still you, making a decision. Biden is still governing. He is still responsible for the unbelievably terrible job he is doing no matter how loudly he keeps saying his hands are tied.
Bush II set the precedent for presidential powers being calvinball. Nobody is going to stop Biden (or will stop Trump after he gets elected again) from doing anything. Haven't you noticed Trump has yet to face a single actual material consequence from absolutely anything at all? Do you think that's an accident? An oversight?
That is a semantic difference. I think we basically agree just that we phrase it differently
Oh yeah for sure, sorry I'm just ranting
