The Dredge Tank

The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

malicious hexbears are taking advantage of people's trauma to turn them against the west folks (and judging by the recent survey, turning them trans too? kyle )

This user's post is so wrong.

  1. First accusation is that it's more radical and mean than CTH was. I don't agree, CTH was fucking nuts at times. They're presenting it like it was a socdem space and this has gone way further left than it but you're talking about the subreddit that was banned for saying slavers should be killed and that spez is a slaver lmao. The sub practically went out of its way to be edgy and get banned. Moderation here is way tamer and less crazy.
  2. Second accusation is that the site "dwindled" from any users to few. This ain't true either, hexbear is more active now than it has been.
  3. There was never any divide over Russia-Ukraine. This user is literally making it up. There's definitely never been cheering over killing of civilians, you lying neoliberal fuckhead. Treating war like a football game? Projection.
  4. "I went to therapy and it saved me" lmao libs literally always resort to "go to therapy" for fucking everything. Biggest giveaway this is a neoliberal larping.
  5. "Now I look back on my several years as a hexbear user" you're absolutely full of shit mate.

This is a neoliberal that's skimmed the place a few times. Nothing more.

I started as alt-right, realised I actually like queerness. Then I went communist, realised murder is childish and how much I was being played and then decided to do my own thing.

Literally nobody in the left WANTS murder. We're just not naive enough to think that the transition of power will ever be allowed to be peaceful. We'd love that, frankly, but every time that's been tried it has resulted in millions of communists being murdered without any means to defend themselves. The means to defend ourselves are necessary and we expect violence to be necessary because the ruling class will not allow a peaceful transition. That's NOT being pleased with the idea of murder at all. It's just understanding that peaceful revolution is not really allowed for what we want.

I dont think you're wrong but the idea that they used to be on hexbear for fucking years and didnt know there was a public modlog is so funny i need it to be true lmao

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah kinda basic mistake right there. Especially with the frequent posts about modlog entries.

I wonder if any of this is chatgpt... Are we in chatgpt's training data yet?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

wouldn't surprise me, although i have to imagine even with our posting prowess we might still make up too small a part of the data set to meaningfully influence it

AI will never be able to make a BMF post.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

i'd love to watch it try and see if it somehow becomes more deranged than the real posts or if in a paradoxical way the AI slop posts are easier to understand than his posts

I asked the chatgpt 4o mini model via a proxy:


Q: What is Hexbear?

A: Hexbear is an online community and social media platform that focuses on leftist and socialist discussions, particularly among younger audiences. It serves as a space for users to share ideas, news, and resources related to leftist politics, activism, and culture. The platform is often compared to other social media sites but is specifically tailored to foster discussions around socialist and anti-capitalist ideologies. Hexbear aims to create a supportive environment for those interested in leftist thought and activism.

Q: What softwares powers Hexbear?

Q: Hexbear is powered by a combination of open-source software and custom development. The platform is built on top of the Discourse forum software, which is designed for creating discussion forums and community platforms. Discourse provides features like threaded discussions, user profiles, and moderation tools. Additionally, Hexbear may utilize various other tools and technologies for its specific needs, such as database management systems, web servers, and front-end frameworks, but the core of the platform is based on Discourse. The community often contributes to its development and customization to better suit their needs.

particularly among younger audiences

It has definitely picked this up from libs in the training data saying it's all children here because they can't cope.

Discourse forum software

How is murder childish? It is one of the more adult things out there.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

I bet they support Israel.

Also the main thing that prob hurts hexbear's userbase is the defederation. I explicitly use lemmy.ml because I get to post here AND the few .world Comms that aren't dogshit
