I whined about cracker being a slur and those mean ol Hexbears just called me a cracker more instead of debating me
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
wow what, you have that thread/post?? not to mock them, honestly genuinely curious

favourite bit is where they downvoted every post which doesn't even federate here lol
e: also the full thread it's from
Yeah this is the one. It's still one of the most baffling things I've ever seen on the internet. I still think about this often. It's the most mad I've ever seen a person get. Extreme nerd hall monitor energy. Getting so mad you curate a huge screenshot album of yourself getting owned, with citations and links for posterity
A lot of what this person reported as harassment or hate speech is just civil disagreements on if Taiwan is part of China. Like this person is so used to hearing specific things about China that any disagreement registers as hate speech horrifying terrorism, even if it's just a posts on forums where no one is being threatened. My favorite part is how several of the screenshots are just hexbears posting emojis lol
