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 crazy for thinking apps like these are just... fine?
I don't think they're used by people who can't tell the difference between a bot and a human, but by people who aren't able to find any meaningful human connection and need something. If this helps alleviate the pain of loneliness even a little bit, I still think that's a good thing even if it's fake.
Nah I’m gonna go on the offensive and say if it gets to the point where this appeals to you, then you seriously need to consider touching grass. There are billions of people on the planet, go make a friend out of one of them. If you literally cannot do that, then there is some heavy self reflection that needs to be done as to why that is.
Using stuff like this as a replacement for human connection is not okay.
You know I'd never quite thought of it like that before
You’re gonna tell me there’s no difference between being socially alienated and preferring to spend time with an AI? What is this fucking blade runner?
