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
If you pay for a machine to try to trick the machine, you might temporarily get ahead of the machine as long as you do it before everyone else does and the machine adjusts accordingly. THE FUTURE!
MFW maybe this means I have to go and shoot to achieve my dream of making a nerdy social media platform where I just gush about my interests...because "falling back" is now even more unrealistic thanks to my "unemployable" branding.
It truly is fucked up that even your so-called private life has to be part of your resume now: you need to show how normal in a techbro acceptable way you are in your selfies (you take selfies, don't you? DON'T YOU?) and have to create a "story" binding them all together or else.
Looking back as an adult....as much as I hate to admit it since I consider myself a nerd: the jocks were right about the nerds, but for the wrong reasons.
The worst of nerd culture and the worst of jock culture fused together around the time Halo came to the Xbox.
