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

If we have a link to the page we can go through it on the modlog or even using the wayback machine to see what was actually said though, and even if we can't, we could still see what the tankie is saying and see if it also violates the rules.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you talk about tankies a lot. are they in the room with you right now? why do you keep getting into arguments about a 1950s fascist counter-revolution in hungary?

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Look, I just think Stalin shouldn't have stopped at Berlin, but you tankies wouldn't understand.

helpful, thanks for your input

I had a spare 30 seconds. You're really boring and unoriginal. I was at least hoping for a good laugh. Maybe don't harass people in PMs if you don't want admins to ban you? That might help.

helpful, thanks for your input.

also i never harrassed anyone. i responded only to people who were replying to me after mods/admins took away my ability to do so publically

"I never harassed anyone!"

"I just went in their DMs and kept demanding people debate me after it was clear they weren't interested in talking to me and wouldn't leave them alone!"

"I'm totally the victim here guys!"

Also, for a guy who said you have "better things to do" you sure do like wasting your time trying to start arguments in the comments here while insisting you don't have time for that.

"I just went in their DMs and kept demanding people debate me after it was clear they weren't interested in talking to me and wouldn't leave them alone!"

citation needed. that is not what happened

all the rest of your comment is bad faith guff

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Based on your comment history that's what it seems like. Unless you'd care to share those DMs and prove us damn tankies wrong.

I know you won't though, because you were harassing people.

helpful, thanks for sharing
