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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

Are downvotes disabled at Hexbear?
yep, we didn't like drive by downvotes from lurkers. everyone must post.
mostly transphobes, who we then purged ruthlessly
We don't have downvotes, so we respond.
Lemmy is much more fun since Hexbear joined, leaving lemmy.world is the best decision I made since I came to the fediverse.
Libs don't know what having fun means. Everything is constantly assumed to be totally serious at all times in their spaces and they don't know how to like... Chill the fuck out? Half the posts people are making are from the toilet on a work break. It's just not that serious.
If they chilled out and enjoyed themselves a bit more the whole thing would be 100x better. This is the primary difference between us. We're trying to have fun.
Investigated here after the pre-last resort defederation from .world and was confused why people having fun was being construed as "The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “dismantle western propaganda” and "demolish organizations such as NATO” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "respecting the rules of the community instance in which they are posting/commenting.”"
It's like they tried to sound smart and lost me at the 'I came here and looked around for 5 seconds and realized it's not what they were saying it was."
what a phrase.
No, they're just bigger and don't get counted
It's part of why we're haunting the lemmiverse rn. users in other instances will downvote and move on, we can't
