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 [email protected]

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

We're a non-sectarian leftist shitposting instance, steeped in seven layers of irony.

Meaning we're Xi's paid propagandists for the CPC and the inner circle of Putin's cult of personality.

Hexbear is a left unity lemmy which existed for three years in isolation and is not accepting transphobia, ableism and other things. This makes us not really liked by (white) libs who feel superior to others while sending their kids into private schools and who like to be ableist.

We also don't care much for tone policing. Some people don't get that it matters why you throw milk shakes at people milkshake

We are also a book club for Trans Liberation, The Jakarta Method, The Shock Doctrine, How to be an anti racist, Read Settlers, What is to be done or State and Revolution, etc. highly recommend the second one.

We also love our trans comrades 🏳️‍⚧️ hexbear-trans trans-specter

We're a radically anti bigotry and anti capitalist leftist unity instance, most of the people mad about us are just mad that they got mocked for being right wing or ableist or racist or transphobic by our users - we also got defedded from lemmy.ca for "anti landlord bigotry"

We don't have a downvote button so we're duty bound to respond to annoying takes by being more annoying.
