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
Can we appreciate his references to "censorship" and a "pedophile witch hunt", too? I felt like I was hallucinating reading that, it was like a complete 180 of my previous impression of him.
Honestly I don't get it. Davel has been on of my favorite members of the broader lemmy-lemmygrad-hexbear commentariat when it comes to knowledgable anti-imperialist takes in the posting trenches. He has consistently been among the best at having pertinent (even lib-denialism-proof) sources on hand and ready to go for when the libs, much in need of being owned as always, start clamoring for them, and then correctly pointing out their own debate bro perversion. I have unjokingly thanked him for his service before.
It is so odd and discouraging to see him on the other side of that gulf.
Truly, no one is immune to the occasional need of touching grass.
Yep, it was really strange, I thought it would be a simple matter of chopping Joker and being done with it, as a .ml user. Now I have made a Hexbear account, and while I won't likely abandon my .ml account I will be able to jump ship if I wish easily.
Looks like he's been doing shit like this for a while given what Marcie said, including weird racist and misogynistic defense of that guy months back, basically saying "lol he's Indian he doesn't know better, misogyny is just what Indians do" while calling her the chauvinist
This has been happening concerningly frequently; people of established time on the site just absolutely crashing out on the worst possible hills to die on
Occupational hazard of posting, probably

I agree. I was happy only having a .ml account, but now I've made a Hexbear account and I'll probably stick with one or the other eventually. It was wierd and came out of the blue, Davel usually has good takes so this was very cringe.
