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

Before 🤓I block you I’ll be kind and make one genuine attempt to help🤓 you learn:
Just like nobody is required🤓 to invite someone into🤓 their home, nobody🤓 is required🤓 to listen to someone either. And nobody is required to🤓 let them🤓 loiter on🤓 their 🤓property (the server) and🤓 act like a douche to🤓 their guests (the 🤓users).
They are facing the consequences🤓 of their actions🤓. People don’t like them and🤓 instead of considering 🤓why that might be and adjusting, you simply complain🤓 that people are🤓 kicking them out of the party.
They are not owed an audience. They do not have a🤓 right to be heard.
Edit: request🤓🤓🤓 to be blocked🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 granted🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Holy shit if you were the original person that wrote that I'd tell you I ain't reading a 20 page essay about how angy you are in the prose of a fucking nerd loser, damn that's irritating to read lmao.
My eyes glazed over faster than a cop eyeing a glazed donut
Every single person in this thread is a whiny baby it's wild.
The OP, everyone else in the comments, every last one of them is a cringe whiny smuglord.
The extent to which redditisms have subsumed the 
vocabulary and manners of relating to one another is really bleak
I've mentioned this before, but I think that behavior stems from having a downvote button. Downvotes give people the ability to dampen any signal that they don't like, anonymously and without engagement, and so it's not enough to get people agreeing with you, you have to avoid people disagreeing with you. The inevitable result is bland, repetitive, easily-consumed content. It makes sense that any given lemmy instance is going to look exactly like reddit if the system of content curation is the same. Aside from excellent moderation, I think that's what makes Hexbear work (of course, Hexbear only got rid of the downvotes in the first place because of the excellent moderation).
It's also what makes Twitter, for all its faults, a much more interesting platform than reddit, because the only thing you can do if you dislike something is either ignore it or amplify it to an audience of people who will also hate it. If twitter let the users attenuate signal for other users, it would be so goddamn boring.
I totally agree that I, OP, am a cringe whiny smuglord, but am really having a shitty day at work and making people mad is my manna. I only usually avoid Hexbear because ya'all banned me for starting the vegan circlejerk struggle sessions. 😎
Whats up Dash!!!
