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
if there's one thing that's consistent about HN it's their ability to have the most dogshit take imaginable.
I like to see them wrestle with wanting to be contrarian, "independent thinkers", and defenders of 
while also parroting US state department talking points about every world conflict
HN also has a huge transphobia issue that wasn't dealt with at all by the mods. It got so bad that the Asahi Linux project had to block the referral link from Hacker News to their website. It's probably the techbro site besides X formerly known as Twitter.
I'm not surprised. They also had a lot of users have to use their fainting couch when a popular post from a furry about remote work hit the frontpage
How do you even have a tech site that's afraid of furries and/or trans people?
Where do you think all the Palantir and Google employees post?
You buried the worst part where the same dipshit admits he uses chatGPT to write his insufferable lib posts!
Thank you about the ChatGPT, that's quite a compliment
It's really not
This new crop of lib mfs will pretend anything's a compliment even when it looks bad. Annoying deflection they do, but ultimately shows they've run out of things to say
I didn't have "ChatGPT is anti-irish" on my bingo card
I suppose the old adage is true, "The tree may leave the forest, but its roots are still in the soil."
He could get a job at The Onion.
Ah yes, the HN
(what is the HN)
Nerd site full of techbro chuds who also happen to all be technically incompetent.
Orange website. Do not look.
