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

Am I getting this right, they're letting you do the ad targeting for them and they're selling it as a privacy feature? michael-laugh

"But they can only see you're interested in a selection of broad topics!!"

Is supposed to be the big selling point here, apparently

Also lol at this bit about site suggested ads:

"You can block the sites you don't want in the settings"

Okay, how about all of them hexbear-shining

Firefox mobile + ublock origin for easy no ad life

Bromite is like a cousin to Vanadium and GrapheneOS advises againsr using Firefox so I'll trust their word on it for the time being, but I miss my add-ons. On desktop I want to use Firefox, but qutebrowser is chromium based and there are no Firefox forks that are keyboard driven, only extensions that shit out if a webpage fails to load because Firefox restricts add-ons too much for that to be viable.

Mull is like the Librewolf version of Firefox on Android. If you follow some instructions and use a Firefox account, you can get desktop add-ons installed on Android - fantastic for LibRedirect alone, so much easier to browse game wikis when Fandom wikis are redirected to BreezeWiki.

Use Firefox, Liberal.

I don't think this fits in the dunk tank

Is that where it ended up? I blame the drop-down menu
