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

Funny how Nazi genocide doesn’t get brought up when they thank a SS veteran for his service

This bullshit on reddit is so fucking annoying. Say something confidently, say "everyone knows that" or "source: any historian" and get a handful of upvotes and that's all you need to get a deluge of agreement from other redditors.

Those redditors will then go on to repeat it in exactly the same way.

And those redditors will do the same.

It's fucking infuriating how much redditors bought into the "voters determine what is quality and what is not, we have democratised content" and literally use it as a guide for what is truth vs what is false in their ""learning"" about any given topic, followed by completely uncritically regurgitating the same thing again.
