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

I am genuinely confused by hexbear too

Is it a site for queer people or for beanis lovers?

iirc they don’t allow downvotes, plus dunking on someone is the entire point, and also the icons rendering there is different (significantly smaller) than the giant versions that they render as elsewhere. And yes, the made-up language aspect as well.

Are these guys 70 years old? Who calls emojis “made up languages” lol

I’m genuinely confused by, who even are these people

The west employed Henry Kissinger for decades and are confused with the concept of strange alliances? Besides, material reality doesn’t give a shit about grand gestures and ideas, so things aren’t pretty. NATO literally includes Turkey. Wanna talk about that since we care so much about the purity and sanctity of our ideas? Hungary? Poland? What about feminist icon Joe Biden’s friendship with Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states? What about the US’ relations with the fascist Philippines and Japan? Shut the fuck up.

What I have learned: * Russia has already won the Ukraine war

Lol all we do is repost western, liberal news articles and they get upset. Don’t get mad at us. Go complain and send a letter bomb to the NYT and Politico. We’re just reading what you people write.

I don’t even think they are accelerationists at this point. I think they are all either information warfare operatives or useful idiots. The hexbear admin has essentially admitted to this.

I’ve reported the administration to the FSB internal affairs. You will be served a termination letter tomorrow morning then promptly executed for leaking operation details to the enemy.

I may be an idiot but i draw the line at being useful

Lemmy users on average are older than every other social media platform and that includes Facebook.

“made up languages”

I think they're referring to terminology.

I recently saw one of the top minds of .world claim that using "liberal" correctly was, "intentionally confusing. It’s a Russian psyop tactic that tankies have picked up."

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it’s likely terminology. I know libs in real life that literally can’t understand what “material conditions” could possibly mean and think it’s some super complicated concept.

[–] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also think they were referring to the emotes themselves, having meaning that probably only we know about so seems impenetrable to non Hexbears

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

That’s a good point!

You're secretly an agent of da joos/chairman xi/putler/geogre soros/woke whatever the fuck stopped being funny so, so long ago. : (

The hexbear admin has essentially admitted to this.

Source? I wanna see their exact words

Source: No source, because all this shit is always made the fuck up. [-7]

Boy that would sure be convenient for your narrative wouldn’t it?

It would be convenient for your narrative if the link was actually posted.

my most charitable interpretation is that they saw the hexbear post with the original title and didn't know the headline got changed twice, so they thought our title was editorial
