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 feel so conflicted about Stallman. he's ideologically correct that free software must be protected from encroachment by capital -- but such a fucking creep/asshole on literally everything else.

There's so many better representatives for free software, to put it gently, Stallman has long outlived his usefulness.

agreed, he just has an important legacy that can't be ignored.

I don't know why one needs to make a moral judgment on him. He existed and what he created is important but it's not like we're the jury on his trial.

I'm comfortable making a moral judgement on the pedophilia comments

Probably my most problematic fave of all time. He's such a lovable dork and right about everything a good 95% of the time, but then when he's wrong he's very very wrong cringe

I still think I could fix him though.

He's really not
