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
What are we all doing here right now? An activity dwarfed by the volume of advertising and content consumption occurring at any given moment on the internet!
Like I said, measure it by data volume, time spent reading or watching versus replying or posting or however you like and it always comes up one sided.
If you wanna see how close to an Internet forum a bunch of radio weirdos can get, tune to channel 6 (or 19 some places!) anywhere in the south. It’s still a fantastic whirling storm of chaos after 5pm. Even without fucking around on cb there’s plenty of examples of niche communities using radio to communicate before the internet made it easier once everyone had a computer. it was only once everyone had a computer that the transition to them happened and by that point the chatter about dos quilting software or whatever was a drop in the ocean of data sloshing through the pots lines.
