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
Passwords are outdated in the sense that the current best practice is to use a password manager that automatically generates a unique high entropy password (read: completely garbled mess no human would ever remember) for every website or service you use. Most of the replacement for them, however, are less secure garbage that can easily be obtained either through social engineering or by the authorities, so you know.
Even then, you're better off with a passphrase as they are longer, easier to remember, and are harder to brute force. It's like a dictionary resistant password.
The absolute best practice is to add random spaces that don't correspond to syllables. A 10 character password can go from taking a few seconds to crack to several hundred years with a few well placed spaces.
That said, there are databases out there that don't like spaces, and for some reason lots of financial institutions are this way.
I just hate fucking sites that tell me it has to be under 16 characters. Like wtf
Fucking ridiculous in 2023. If I want to have a 300 character password, that's my business, hate these arbitrary rules of a max number, no special characters...
