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
this is my favorite post there, deeply unserious person CW: cognitohazard
"First they came for.." WHO???? WHO DID THEY FIRST COME FOR LMAO
First they came for the Nazis and I mostly just laughed because fuck the Nazis
It's amazing, meme community removes obvious troll comment and it's censorship
Politics community bans someone for posting negative Biden stories and gets applauded.
Ah yes the good old "join a social media site created by socialists and then get mad that it has socialists on it" move. Classic.
exactly. if they want a website just for liberals, then Hexbear was right there!
Why don't they just go back to Reddit? It has everything they want and zero tankies.
The white urge to colonize no doubt
I also joined the fediverse during the Reddit blackout, which means that I and OOP are perfect examples of the difference between an immigrant and a colonizer
They want to insert fascism into FOSS and fediverse spaces
This is absolutely the most likely scenario. They don't want any part of the universe to be untainted by their hate
The vast majority of them are white Amerikans; their opinions don't matter on a global scale, and will soon be swept into the dustbin of history as de-dollarization accelerates. The rest of them wish they were crackers; and as such, can similarly be disregarded for minstrelry.
Who the fuck do you think is going to develop anti-corporate media for you? Capitalists?
Your choice is between communists and people who will only make anything if they think they can later sell you out to corporations. Fucking choose morons.
Use your fucking brains. The reason you don't see people other than communists making this software is because it is people with an ideological desire to oppose corporate control that are motivated to make it. You're harming yourselves with this shit.
Too late, they are already asking for people to make forks of lemmy (which would fuck up federation if you delay updates like it happen to us) or just rewriting all of Lemmy code from rust to java and having everyone move there (they wont)
I don't know whether it matters that much at this point. Possibilities:
The liberal forks don't last when lib developers realise there is nothing in it for them except a lifetime of developing it.
The liberal forks eventually corporatise in a way that makes them fundamentally incompatible with the original goal of Lemmy which was to escape corporate control of social media.
The forks continue and it works out fine achieving the original goal.
If 1 or 2 happens, then the issue comes back to communists again.
If 3 happens, it doesn't matter whether it's communists in charge or not the intended goal is achieved.
Honestly i just see 3 not lasting for long and eventually becoming either 1 or 2 and then just bleed users and die, either way Lemmy would just out last them.
RUST TO JAVA? 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Dang Barsoap I almost forgot about that guy, he's definitely not a nazi just a german guy really into 'Homeland' and 'Germanic Tribes'. I remember way back arguing with this dolt about the war in ukraine and him going on unhinged rants, about like fighting to the last ukranian and tankies and shit. Glad to see this 'german green voter' has their priorities right and is concerned about the rising tide of tankism and still not about AfD, CDU/CSU and you know germany in general being complicit in a genocide.

That just sounds like he is a different type of german fascist to be honest, like a freikorp
No no no, he's really into the whole Völkisch Movement a thing that will never ever morph into fascism.
Do we have at least one Chinese user who can send the devs a penny to make this a reality?
Someone get a vpn/proxy in China and make a bunch of posts to scare the admins.
i'm so glad we don't get this brand of braindead liberal playing pretend leftist here
I feel like we did for a bit, then it died down, then renewed after federation and died down again. Basically any large influx of users has them float around for a bit.
Uncritical support for comrade Dessalines in this most Holy of Holy Wars, against these insufferable, 
-ass libs.
Send all these motherfuckers back to 
When was he caught directly manipulating the database?
Mods have an option to "remove user content" when community or site banning which removes all the posts of comments but doesn't create a modlog entry. It is a bug that is being fixed (I think in 0.19.4) ironically a lemmy.world/c/politics mod did it for someone who posted too many Biden bad stories and no one is claiming lemmy.world mods are editing the database
Tldr; Dessalines hacked the Gibson
Thats what they call the purge comment and delete comment option that mods have
I love how they get huffy about getting chain-banned from 20 communities (that have similar mod staffs) when they're caught either being chauvinist, racist, or genocidal. Like, a mod's not allowed to watch you transgress then think "yeah I don't want you in any community I have purview over"? That shit used to be POINT OF COURSE for larger bbforums that had multiple mods for different parts of the forum.
Also im sure that chain-bans are just lemmy.ml version of a site ban and they are never permanent bans at max i seen 1 month. They are just complaining about losing their treats for a month really
Lul that's literally built into the software. This must be what they mean by tankies inifluencing the software. "Oh no! The CSAM and doxxing material I posted can get permenantly removed from the database? Damn tankies! 
"
What's a purge?
If somebody posts something illegal (like CSAM), you don't want to simply deactivate it and leave it available for 'review' in the mod log. You need the ability to ensure it is not only hidden, but completely and totally deleted in memory, on the disk, in the database, on any caches / CDNs, etc.
Oh okay. And then do you write a report to the government or something? Sorry I haven't modded a forum since I was like 9
Requirement to do so depends on two different factors: Hosting country and site owner country, both of which claim jurisdiction.
Mods have the ability to mass remove someone posts and comments from a comm when they ban them
I honestly figured they had some actual evidence not just 0 understanding of the software
I just want to tell them to shut up and go back to reddit
The closests thing to a hexbear discord sever would not be "brigading" except to troll us, if it even still exists.
Wish these authoritarian tankie devs would send these people to the cybergulag.
This is funny. I am subbed to a bunch of .ml comms and frequently see weird anticommunist shit. Just like a week ago or something I saw this thread on linux@lemmy.ml. I don't remember the specifics but the comments were complaining about how the devs are tankies and support mass murderers like lenin. And went on to equate the devs to some gross people. I did comment but deleted later cause I didn't want to argue with these annoying people. Shit there was some dumb meme post about tiananmen square and how heckin brave freedumb to post it.
The users on .ml do whine about tankies and whatever. And these other instances want to do the same thing but pretend that .ml is filled with tankies not similar crybabies. Like jesus do they have anything else going on than bravely proclaiming to avoid tankies.
Petition for lemmy.ml to preemptively defederate lemmy.world lol
remember when .world defeded hexbear? Oh no. Please. Stop. 🤣
I'm contemplating writing an effort post about the casus bellum for the Feddit user to wage war against .ml, which is a removed comment that was just a link to an Imgur album posted by a repost bot scraped from allthatsinteresting.com, a BuzzFeed clone. But they're not federated with Hexbear and liberals can't read, so...
Hint: one of the first paragraphs of the Imgur album claims 10,000 people died in Tianmen square, higher than even the US government's official figures by 9,100. The entire connotated album is unsourced.
The comment section on this one seems like an improvement from the last few at least
liberals doing BDS against the platform they're posting on bcs they dont like the lemmy.ml devs but not against israel doing a genocide is really funny ngl
God, the more I wardrive that asinine fuckin thread (they are not worth making a lemmy.ml alt to go kick in the teeth by my reckoning), the more it stands out to me how absolutely puerile, idealistic, and frankly, utterly unreliable the western "left" is. These crackers have the WORST martyrdom fetish I've ever seen; and as usual, they harp on about "oh wahhhhh, China has billionaires, they're no AES, they're catering to the capitalists" when last I knew, the only people to catch death sentences in China have been... Absolutely cashed-up capitalists who got caught on some Amerikan-style skullduggery.
Part of me is convinced the only reason they want China to immediately liquidate all their billionaires, all their capitalists, or at least, as many as could be done away with before capital flight spooked the rest of 'em to the four corners of the world, is so that China's project could collapse in on itself. For right now, capital is the game that must be played until the entirety of the Settler Empire, from Amerika to Australia, falls in on itself-- and they either don't realize that, or refuse to see that. To them, if China collapses, they can go right on back to martyrishly (and insincerely) wringing their hands about "ohhhhh, no real AES exists, ohhhhh, wahhhhh" the whole time secure in the fact that the treat dispenser that the white capitalists grease in the blood of the dead stays running.
I spit on all of 'em.
