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
 

Truly interesting to interact with .world. With the whole preemptive last resort you've been subjected to, the people of .world are completely flabbergasted by the emoji game Hexbear offers! And not just that, being more left than a democrat by a millimeter gets you attacked from all sides! (The right)

And predictably, the Adults in the Room™ are impervious to such childish presentation! Because who possibly could reply in a slightly more expressive, comical and crude matter but a child!

After all, if the form and @Civility@hexbear.net is lacking... Then the whole argument must be so too!

Oh .world... What virgin lands, unscorched by the Hog Doctrine ™®

no fun allowed on this website!!! visual expression is for tankies!!! you MUST reply using only paragraphs, condescension, and redditisms!!! basil-rage-cry

yeonmi-park in lemmy.world, the authoritarian admins refuse to let people use emotes to express themselves. They fear that by prompting them to see, they'll see that the site has no original culture and that it's just a reddit clone, and then they'll leave.

And not just that! If every fiber of your being does not eminate :smuglord: energy you will be considered a loser for every argument!

why post many words liberals won't read when emoji do gooder

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

synthesis: we need at least one or two emojis with just parentiquote or any other block of theory, and make 'em big

nerd Errrr.... Is that an emoji I see? I'll have you know that I am a sophisticated 19 year old man. I do not tolerate such childishness like saying "LMAO". It's not even a word. It's just a bunch of letters smushed together because you're too lazy to spell it out loud, and I bet you're not even laughing. And your ass is most definitely still attached to you, otherwise you would be inside the hospital right now.

emoji request: a whole bunch of Lisa Frank rainbows and unicorns

[–] a_blanqui_slate@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

For real though I block those of y'all who can't resist using 15 emojis per sentence in a struggle session.

Freedom on hexbear always remains about the same as it was on Reddit : Freedom for posters.

[–] BrezhnevsEyebrows@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Emojis are like a garnish: used conservatively it improves a comment, but if youre just heaping that shit on you should reconsider

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

nah emote game is an integral part of posting. give it a few years and the emotes will be so far abstracted from their original meaning as to be their own symbolic language.

[–] forcequit@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Yes... ha ha ha... Yes!

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

These are the type that would love more
