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 [email protected]

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

real tension between corporation so all the rights and foreign so none of the rights

idk all signs point to Bytedance not budging on this so it will be really funny if this backfires and tiktok becomes unavailable in the US.

Might see youtube shorts take off or something totally unforeseen pretty wild shit all around.

someone mentioned the EU might force apple to allow side-loading in an unrelated suit and that would make the ban meaningless

[–] [email protected] 47 points 6 months ago

from what I’ve heard side-loading will only be enabled in the EU.

the fanboys have told me this is a good thing, uwu smol bean apple is just protecting kids from downloading Clash_of_Clans_Hack_2024_Working.ipa monke-beepboop

wonder if a tiktok ban changes their mind

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago

That’s what happened in India after TikTok got banned there. YouTube shorts took off and so did another platform called Josh.

My only concern with YouTube shorts taking off is that their algorithm is a far-right cesspool.
