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

I understand this to be an official endorsement of racism from the mod team at shitjustworks

Enjoy this attempt to find a single non-racist among our new friends

Their mods seriously deleted your comment for that?! Wow just straight up defending actual WW2 Nazis

Woah, did not expect their users to defend racism that hard.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. When the Western media declares a country the new bad guy of the week suddenly racism becomes magically fine if it's against 'bad country'. The same thing happened to Arabs during the 'war on terror'.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

Incredible. Not a single person could even manage a weak ass freeze-peach argument against it.

I'm not sure why we should stay federated with racists to be honest.

Especially when instead of doing any sort of self reflection their mods just start banning Hexbear users left and right... for being against racism. You can't make this shit up lmao data-laughing

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I argued before federating that allowing a comm with a openly racist header said a whole lot about the people that run the instance and the people who hang out there. Some people were inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt given that it is a small and inactive comm.

But I think the post shows that they'd rather try and own the tankies than condemn racism if the question is put to them point blank

On the face of it it's so bloody unimportant - you can't post a picture of winnie the pooh? That is truly the most oppressed anyone has ever been in history.

And then you actually examine all of the articles they have - every single citation is just "reportedly" "allegedly" "this happened to one student" ass primary sources. I've never actually looked into this in depth until now (because I actually lived in China and of course saw the fucking bear everywhere), in my mind they had more convincing propaganda than that.

E.g.

“He’s propagating the issue, and frankly, I think he’s humiliated himself by being so childish about it,” says Deb Hoffmann, who holds the world record for the largest collection of Winnie the Pooh memorabilia. “If he would’ve just let it go, it would have died down by now. Plus, if the idiot knew anything, he would be delighted to be compared to Winnie the Pooh. After all, Winnie the Pooh is a very good-hearted, wonderful, thoughtful person. Being compared to Winnie the Pooh is actually quite the compliment!”

This may be the most guts-rage shit, how they invent reality and then react to what they imagined. The making up a guy to get mad at model of journalism. Also, this person quoted is literally just a collector of marketable slop? Why would I care what they think?

Since they're deleting all the HB posts I'll just post this for posterity chefs-kiss

Its like watching a 5 round fight where the loser never landed a punch. He had no framework to even contemplate a defence to what you were saying

I dunked pretty hard on programming.dev before and now sh.itjust.works is racing for first for liberal chuddery. surprised-pika

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

programming.dev actually has some pretty cool people that have real discussions after everyone gets to know each other. like we have had some heated threads but almost all of them have resulted in everyone eventually going "huh, learned something new today". They seem to be mostly nerdy internet forum types and that is super cool. startrek.website seems to be the same deal.

Now shit.just.works on the other hand seems to be a bunch of anime profile pic social media users who spout reactionary thought-killing bullshit. No attempt to better understand each other or even defend. Can't even just have a normal discussion about hobbies, entertainment, or tech without one of them jumping in to say something despicable then act outraged when someone asks "wtf, why can't you be normal".

I understand this to be an official endorsement of racism from the mod team at shitjustworks

The image literally colors his skin yellow, this is some of the most obvious racism/colorism I've seen and yet these complete brainless children become willfully ignorant and "don't see the problem." Yes, the mods officially endorse racism and sinophobia, and I would like to put on the record that I voted against federating with shitjustworks. What has been the result? They come into our threads with their nonsense opinions and get instantly obliterated, we come into theirs and get banned. Fuck shitjustworks, on our own turf they need would a million posters to rival the power of a single one of ours.

Also these fucking chauvinist dipshits who are calling Xi a dictator know absolutely nothing about the democratic process in the PRC. And someone's seriously claiming that depictions of Winnie the Pooh were outlawed lmao? So easy to disprove.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

To be fair, nobody got banned and they were the ones being obliterated on their own instance
