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

You know what, it's probably because it's American news and they want to keep that out of r/WorldNews. Let's check r/News!

I clicked through to the all of Reddit link, and I think I just became a Maoist-Third-Worldist

I remember when the Koch brother died, the r/politics mods deleted every thread about it for a couple days because they didn’t consider it relevant to politics.

[–] trashxeos@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 1 year ago

Even when I was a fucking liberal I could see how Koch is political. Those mods aren't just ignorant, they're actively pushing ignorance, as many libs are wont to do.

Good lord. How did I miss that he died?

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

It's only one, but hey, I'll take it.

He was never elected so he wasn't political smuglord

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

What no frothing over him being a commie traitor on world news, jeez I'm shocked.

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

yeah the front page had nothing about him.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

i've been seeing commenters from even shitlib subs like r/politics calling worldnews a cursed place full of genocidal freaks

they always assume it's organic though but hey progress

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I don't know if we would want to read what they had to say about the guy

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

They probably don't want to encourage their bots into doing anything hasty

[–] Deadend@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Reddit will get even worse after the IPO.
