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 mean it is kind of unnecessary. You're supposed to use that when someone acts very scratched, not every time they say something lame.

I'm not going to debate a midwest.social user on Mao ppb is all they deserve

Yeah, when PPB started getting deployed when speed limits were talked about as good things that maybe should be more strictly enforced, I think the scratched libs were coming from inside the house.

I feel personally attacked.

That link is 100% going to get us brigading accusations. Correct or not, I'd like to gently suggest you remove it.

Dunk tank Rule 1.

And "brigading" is stupid reddit-logo nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know "brigading" is stupid reddit-logo , but socially we must still recognize that brigading accusations exist and are a nuisance. Anyway, I was thinking of the exemption in rule 7 but forgot that it doesn't apply to normal users.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

brigading is cool and good and the nerds who are mad about it can stay mad till the day they die for all i care

lol lmao don't ask that instance what they think of Neelix and Kes. You don't know half of it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I had someone from here argue like a year ago that it was actually speciest or some shit to think Neelix dating a 2 year old is questionable. I don't care how quickly her species matures, it was a fucking weird decision for the writers to make. There's even an episode where she somehow enters sexual maturity years before what's normal for the Ocampa.
