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

I have to ask... Why? Why haven't you all given up on Reddit, and especially those who talk about politics on Reddit? Now the only ones talking about politics on Reddit are the Nazis who don't give a shit about Reddit's abusive business model. Political Reddit is now practically 4chan

It's not so much that anyone wants to be there but that it's a theater of operations that you can not ignore when waging a political battle.
For all we talk about the internet not being real life, a ton of people dramatically change their beliefs and actions based on what they read online. Posting isn't praxis, but it's propaganda, and propaganda works.
I think it's fun to make very socialist comments in subs that are very much not socialist, but like not use any socialist words, and then get a lot of upvotes from people who would call me a tankie in a heartbeat if they realized. I don't think I'm changing anyone's mind btw, I don't think I'm doing anything important, I just think it's funny to write one of those a couple times a month lmao.
I also just need some outlet to disagree with libs on the internet, as lots of sorta-libs-who-don't-follow-politics surround me irl, and I don't want to be that guy to them, as they are my friends. It's also just fun to practice arguments at random people, so you can see what works, and what doesn't without any real consequence. There are people I actually want to convince in real life, might as well prototype my arguments when I can.
Also it's entertaining to yell at fascists. Like yeah, I should touch grass, but Redditors being mean to me doesn't really bother me, so it's not like I'm losing anything doing it. It is nice however to have this place, where I can go to relax a bit, if I don't feel like having /r/europe people in my replies.
I gave up on reddit like 4 years ago when chapo got banned. I just lurk around there nowadays and participate in some niche communities that are not political.
