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
The "Words of Iron" app gives zionists one centralized hub to promote posts that support Israel by increasing their engagement (including by pasting pre-written comments) while directing users to anti-zionist posts to report in an effort to get the post or the poster removed from the internet. It's a zionist brigading app.
I disagree and feel like big time streamers using their handle and mentioning their content is the same as rolling out a red carpet. Clearly coming fresh to a community doing the latter is tasteless and will be frowned upon by the community. The only reason i know that Kira twitch streams is because they mentioned it in this thread.
I have long held and maintained that i did not approve of twitch, its not personal to the user. I'm surprised that it's held favorably amongst many of you.
Please dont call me weird or other me, please engage with what I'm saying.
holy shit,
until you've cooled off. posting through it is a shit idea.
Im heated because what im saying isnt being responded to and im being called weird and now told to logout? Can you sympathize with that? I'll stop posting though, I'm wasting time at work so I'm in an easy spot to fixate. I apologize to anyone if I offended them.
Same, I'm very far out of the loop for zoomer e-celebs and twitch/discord is somehow worse cytube/AIM.
Users are allowed to talk about themselves and what they do. We've had a lot of user-created content on hex before, and glancing thru KC"s posts, seems perfectly capable of on-topic posting without plugging anything or giving MLM grift vibes. Usually the focus on opsec here keeps things more abstract, but im seeing a poster first and plugs second.
If that changes i'll ban
Fair but is there any room for the discussion to be no plugs and no handle?
Like hypothetically if hbomberguy makes an account and starts posting here with the same handle that would make me uncomfortable under the same reasoning I've explained before. The dynamics become unequal considering one person is a YTer with 11 millions subs and die hard fans and I'm just regular mokey.
If Hbomberguy makes an account here I'll petition the admins to give control of the account to @[email protected]
Lmao you know what i mean though i should of said Hasan
That applies double for Hasan, except its @[email protected] now.
We already both accept community content & ban shill-bots. It's always been a matter of degree & taste, and KC is fine. She doesn't have a multi-million subscriber count to hug the site to death with, isnt pumping anything beyond mentioning her stream's existance when relevent/asked, and posts in a variety of unrelated topics just like every other poster here.
If you wanna talk about parasocialization, alienation, the enshittification of the web, ect, theres lots of ways to have that conversation (especially here!) without centering it on fellow user.
i am the new Hasan
