the_dunk_tank
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

Federated emojis would simply be too powerful.
I do want :saltine-headassery: and :debate-pervert: from lemmygrad tho...
emojis are actually built into base lemmy for the past year or two (contributed by a dev affiliated with hexbear, but still), but they don't federate seamlessly and most instances don't use them much, or at all, so app support also seems to be lacking last I saw.
If you're using lemmy.ml on the web not thru an app, you can still try out the emoji picker/autocomplete, it just only has standard unicode emojis. Try typing
