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
I've never read an article describing what it was like to interview someone that didn't sound like the author jerking off in literature format.
Idk when this trend started but it needs to stop. There are fanfics that are better.
Kinda lucky he wasn't expecting meeting a woman or half the paragraph would be about how he expected the bounce of her breast were.
They all think they're the current Hunter S Thompson.
Ugh the current intro to Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 was written by Matt Taibbi and exalts the book for exactly this reason. I was reading it and screaming "shut up! None of you will ever be this cool!" In my head the whole time
I took a multimedia class and learned that a NYT article called Snow Fall popularized using multimedia in the the long form Journalism genre.
I don’t know who popularized long form journalism itself, but I’ve had multiple instances where I tried to look up information about an ongoing mass shooting and the front page is just articles detailing some guy’s daily routine getting interrupted by a shooting. Like motherfucker. Can you not wait until it’s over to do this shit. Or at least Google not push this shit to the front instead of to the point information about a killer.
I understand why cooking recipes do this shit now. Sure, part of it is SEO, but the other has to be pretentiousness
