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
They say "They actively forbid free speech" like it's a bad thing, but when's the last time you saw your typical Jordan peterson fanboy or a unironic "cites the bell curve" type running their mouth around here? Sounds like a modicum of peace and quiet to me.
"Free speech" means they want to say slurs and make fun of minorities with no social backlash.
The real secret is that any moderation at all falls under “actively forbid free speech” — even if they actually are a free speech absolutist, they strangely don’t extend that to Hexbearers (notice their call for defederation)
Yup. The spam inbox exists for a reason.
