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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Ever since Musk acquired it, X (formerly known as Twitter) just gets worse and worse everyday. Not that X (formerly known as Twitter) was good beforehand, but the little quality control that X (formerly known as Twitter) had is now gone. That being said, it does amuse me that X (formerly known as Twitter) saw an upsurge in neofascism only after a propertarian acquired the platform.

So it does not surprise me to see a regular there invoke the deicide libel. Most of the Fascists eagerly exploited it, and if it hasn’t happened already, it may not be too long before the neofascists on that platform resurrect the host desecration, image desecration, and well poisoning libels, too.

Considering the former (and still lingering) "quality control" was basically the state department I honestly can't say it's a bad thing tbh. Naturally still hate Musk, but the "state-funded media" debacle for instance was chefs-kiss

At least somebody banned Trump in 2020. It was pathetically late, but better than nothing. Now X (formerly known as Twitter) doesn’t even have that anymore.
