the dunk tank has gone rogue and begun autonomously dunking pedophiles, it must be stopped!
Big How dare the mods do mod things energy
Listen, I'm not going to say that the entire lemmy.ml mod/admin team are pedophiles
Good thing nobody's dunking on "the entire lemmy.ml mod/admin team" but instead just on the one definite pedo and the two admins defending him
Exactly, that's why I'm not saying it
Dessalines seems fine. Davel and nutomic need to go
I was very mad they locked the thread because he replied to me with this nonsense
Defense against being charged of a precime, if one looks at the timestamps, which no
is going to do.
And I was going to reply with
I think you misspelled precum
Which I think would have been funny
They did more than lock it, they deleted it for rule 7. (which, I'm fine with the rule 90% of the time, but mods clearly understood this was a special case. Deleting the thread after 200 comments is such a weird thing)
Eh, the original mod got banned, two separate admins showed up to humiliate themselves for absolutely no reason and one caught a temp ban lmao. Mission accomplished
Did the dunk tank comm get refederated?
I don't believe so.
I see your point, fair enough.
And you can't view deleted posts from lemmy.ml by clicking on them in their modlog the way you can with hexbear. This is just the standard there.
In other words, people logged in to an account on lemmy.ml who see in the modlog that a post was deleted will only see "error_couldnt_find_post" if they click on it hoping to see what it was. For a lemmy.ml account, none of that post content or the comment thread it generated is visible, just gone. 
To see what used to be there, you have to get to it from a hexbear account. 
Can confirm, when I was on my .ml account the thread suddenly disappeared on me.
Happy to see you back on a new account!
Thanks, comrade!
They defederated the community
I know. But what I said above is true regardless, ftr.
the new interim head mod of c/the_dunk_tank
lemmy.ml also blocked the_dunk_tank. That's how butthurt they were over this.
Hmm now that it's been made obvious that c/the_dunk_tank aren't oathbreakers and didn't in fact go rogue after all but still bend the knee to Hexbear, will there be talk of full scale defederation?
(I don't think they will, it's just so funny how this has been framed as "going rogue" and now that they're essentially pulling out of an alliance with a hexbear comm! It's Just 
I don't think we need to defed and I think some of the admins on lemmy.ml would agree.
Definitely not. If there is actual talk of instance wide defederation over this then something has gone horribly, hilariously wrong. No, I'm just saying how funny the language and framing of this has been, and that they already defederated from the dunk tank.
how the fuck do i miss every struggle session on hexbear? i visit this site like 50 times a day and i'm only now finding out about this. damn post sort lol.
It was really a Lemmy.ml struggle session that used hexbear as an additional staging ground lol.
Lemmy.ml lives inside our pigpoopballs
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.
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
Shakin' hands with danger [guitar riff]
7df moment
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.
All this happening at the same time as the 'dr disrespect never committed a REAL crime' is funny
It's not even clear to me what the link he was so intent on posting was supposed to show other than Marcie being completely consistent about finding that shit objectionable and the same issue continuing to fail to be addressed.
Im very confused why some dude keeps saying marcies only been here a minute when davels accounts only 8 months old, and davel as an admin should be very familiar with any user whos got that many strikes against their name
I'm peeping the mod log all the time, the best thing about these forums is you can see a users post history
anyway this drama is giving me life, so validating to see this shit in another community, yay
Its funny how davel got a 7 day ban here for the reason "Debatebro" lmao
If you can stand wading through trash, the modlog is a garish but consistent entertainment source!

Small domino: People can't post low hanging fruit in /c/the_dunk_tank
Large domino: Hexbear defeds from lemmy.ml
I thought the rule was bullshit, but now I almost support it as a way of accelerating the protracted posters' war against the neoliberal pedophiles on lemmy.

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
