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

MODERATORS
 

Okay the first one of these I get it. But the most attention should be on those removed comments at the bottom of the list. So from the bottom:

What's the purpose of removing a comment asking @MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works what a 'momo' is and why it's 'time to die'? Doesn't that seem like a good fucking question? Why is a mod stepping in on this? If I were a moderator I sure would want to know what's up with that.

What rule is broken by saying their instance is bad? And in reply to a story about naked unashamed bigotry being allowed on it no less.

A smarmy little paragraph calling out someone for being toxic and whining about toxicity in return? Nary an expletive.

And just what the hell is wrong with the comment second from the top?

The same mod:

Hexbears, we have to let people call us slurs on lemmy to make communism happen! Forget real life organizing, we just need to post harder!

(I didn't realize how bad this instance was when I voted to federate...)

Here's the link if you wanna try to understand: https://hexbear.net/comment/3880056

Surely this must be ironic? Hell, the blackpilled third-worldists have better analysis than this.

My post with the screenshot is, if that's what you mean. I'm not really sure what their mod is cooking.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I meant their mod's take that the internet is more important than real life organizing, which is just outlandish.

[–] PaX@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeahh it is lol

Other than that, their point was something like we aren't being civil enough to people talking down to us and insulting us so we're betraying communism by not trying to "evangelize" to them and "ensuring our community is never relevant enough to enact real change". They literally said "Marx would be ashamed of you people" lol. Incredible civility-brained, self-important stuff.

But sure, Lemmy is just where you take out your frustrations on the libs after a hard day's work ineffectively unionizing and canvassing for irrelevant leftist politicians. Good luck with that, you're really making a difference 👏

lmao

If they think we're ineffective at convincing people of the good of communism, they should check out this site called shitjustworks! It doesn't even ban fascists, libertarians, or racists (but I repeat myself)!

I can't take this user seriously because they have the same exact username as some washed up ex League pro. It would really really really funny if that's literally him. Some Twitch gamer millionaire talking about communism.

[–] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

played league

that explains the chuddery

The main mark against them being the real imaqtpie is the real imaqtpie was a massive shitposter with none of the self-importance displayed by this loser. He still streams at Twitch apparently, so I seriously doubt he would waste his time being an admin of some shitty Reddit clone lol
