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 wear being called a tankie as a badge of honor. Anyone who has called me one in earnest is a fuckin nerd

Well the methodology and the superficial character of the paper indicates this is a bachelor's thesis at most. Fun to dunk on but otherwise entirely irrelevant no?

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

if only academic rigor and methodology were major determinants for what becomes relevant, and things weren't signal boosted solely for their political ramifications in an existing superstructure

Did we get mentioned by name again?

tragically, no, only genzedong and lemmygrad.ml

Tankies’ move not only made them dominant voices on Lemmygrad.ml but also seemed to amplify the overall toxic tone on the platform.

Is this the one where this site alone skewed the results?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This article's research is so dated it appears to be from right around GenZedong's quarantine, and the researchers did superficial research, saw a couple links to the Grad in GZD and that was the only lemmyverse site they visited, as an afterthought.

I remember learning about sociologists that would live with a community for years before writing their research about it

I work at Langley for the FBI. I've been on hexchat for 3 years and I've only sent agents to 7 or 8 leftists to have them injected with nanobots and bad takes for posting too good. The lack of patience and integration is disgusting

Finally finished looking over this.

Hasan isn't mentioned a single time. Kind of weird.

another MAGA maggot guns down 20 migrants at the border after downloading "great replacement theory" directly into his brain for 8 years straight, directly from mainstream news networks: i sleep

someone posts pig poop balls: REAL SHIT

left-wing extremism remains a relatively unexplored domain

Oh, no! Someone should get on this. fedposting

tankies are on the periphery of the far-left

I prefer to think of it as being on the cutting-edge. fidel-cool
