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

:sicko-hexbear:

Otherwise gee fucking idiots I guess you realy needed a whole research department to figure things out like

•Alt-Right supergroup activity remains near its all-time high. This activity has been high since the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August (Fig. 1).

•The forums with the greatest use of Violent/Aggressive discourse in November were in Health Misinformation, scoring higher than Incels/Femcels and the Extreme Right (Fig. 7).

•Reference to sex crimes was up 13% in December and was up 32% since August (Fig. 11).

:the-democrat: reading this : "Great, its all according to the plan. Carry on mrMcdoofus, keep us informed, this is very useful information, it will come in handy when we decide to do absolutely nothing for the next 2 years."

Because the sample size for "extreme left" is like 5000 posts/month and they probably tagged every Ukraine mega thread as violent. There's also the adventurism posts and

:stfu-terf:

Type posting that goes on which is a decent percentage of posts.

They didn't analyze the content of violent posts, just the language. All violence on hexbear is violence proposed as defense against state or reactionary violence where the alt right sites are calling for genocide.

My hope is that there is substantially more of "the extreme left" in the global south who aren't posting in English (or posting at all but just chatting to each other).

There's more of the "extreme left" on Reddit too, it just seems like this dude has a bone to pick with us specifically. He didn't include Lemmy, Mastodon, or Twitter either. Seems like he didn't pick any big socialist/left wing subreddits either. Anti work, Sino, Genzedong, etc.

They started this back in early 2022 so they could have picked up the tail end
