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

We love it folks 
I guess Elon musk was their puppet for this too
Won't this just backfire on then horribly? How do they honestly expect young voters to react when you ban their treats?
Stupid beyond measure
When vine shut down, it was basically a fast-content desert for several years. Music.ly wasn’t that great, but it was the only real alternative since most of the other alternatives sucked or didn’t exist, then it got acquired by Byte Dance. American companies learned from that mistake and now they’ve been working on their own shitty TikTok clones
I can’t imagine many people will switch over unless the features are good and creators get to tell their fans to switch before it’s too late
Libs normally: "Free market competition good"
Libs when company not from USA and is successful: "Not like that! It's obviously a SeeSeePee front to brainwash our kids!"
So because the government can't control TikTok they'll just pull some Red Scare bullshit out of thier asses and ban it? It's mostly free speech, small government Republicans? 
The government does control TikTok lol. CIA and NATO psyop and intelligence officers are executives, and all the servers are stored in the US and co-managed by American companies .
Either no one briefed the politicians on this and they’re about to set up a banning precedence that could ruin intelligence ops in many countries, or it’s just jingoism and nothing will actually happen to it.

No, democrats are very proud and want everyone to know that it’s a bipartisan bill
I dream of a day where a "bipartisan bill" is "everyone gets a home, employment, and a puppy"
Dems and Republicans: best i can do is prisons, slave labor, and K-9 units of cyborg German Shepherds from Boston Dynamics.
20235: Elon Musk got inspired by the video game Detroit Becomes Human and gets government subsidies to create humanoid robots with emotions and senses in order to boost demographics. For some reason, the female robots are at an incredibly advanced technological state but the male ones haven’t even gone through the blueprinting process

I think it's doing nothing while having the appearance of doing something.
has it even passed? can it even pass? maybe celebrate once its banned, Mike.
