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

This is an instance we have never federated making a defederation post about us. You can search the instances page, we've never linked with a kbin instance. we've never interacted with kbin users. we don't even have to dunk on them for our posting power to overwhelm.

I’ve seen their brigading on lemmy communities before. They will also serial downvote anything they don’t like.

Reality can be whatever I want.

also bring back downvotes but only for federated servers

I still like the idea I had one time where mods have the ability to allow down votes on a post as a tool of moderation

Brigading is when people I don’t like have a say in something

Can't leave a comment on .world anymore without them crawling out of the woodworks to harass and insult you no matter the content of your comment. Hexbear may be lucky they defederated you so quickly.

Federation with Hexbear has been a highlight of my summer! They've just never heard anything but liberal propaganda their entire lives and don't take the time to think critically when they see opposing views or evidence that doesn't align with their beliefs.
