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

Here you go!
Honestly it’s the slightest bit surprising to me that Reddit is so pro-Israel. I think it goes to show just how astroturfed it is, since it is a fairly similar demographic to TikTok but an actually unbelievable difference in opinion
It's been pointed out many times, but Reddit's admin head is Jessica Ashooh, who previously worked for the Atlantic Council (a CIA front). She had no relevant work experience before signing on there.
It's likely under regulatory capture by the US and has been for a while. It's also predominantly composed of white 20-30 somethings, so...
I think also the I'M MASTER GUNNERY SERGEANT MCFACIST AMA ABOUT BEING IN THE WORLDS MOST LETHAL FIGHTING FORCE THE US MARINES interstitial reddit ads. And then zero questions are even close to being rude or unsupportive.
worldnews is idf central. it's insane how much more pro israel it is than any other sub.
It is weird, you go to any of the mainstream/reddit-apporved/local subs and it is completely pro-israel, meanwhile when you stray into any number of smaller and even larger but non-mainstream subs like even F1, it becomes the complete opposite. It is absolutely being targeted by astroturf campaigns that hit only the largest and front page/popular subs.
Also, since a lot of context on tiktok is spoken, it would take another very impressive algorithm to be able to scroll through the highly individualized video feed, find the correct video, comment on it before people who agree with the video content do, and comment enough without looking fake to potentially change the narrative.
