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.

The Post in general is really funny, its a dude complaining that the anarchist comm at solarpunk didnt let him and others do democrat propaganda and claiming that the admins arent real anarchists for removing blue maga stuff

He and others are just attacking anarchism and the db0 admins are just letting them

Also the dude is the one that was doing this in one of our posts

I think this is tagline material

Lemmy is a platform that was built by and for authoritarians (initially capitalists as Reddit, then only slightly modified by authoritarian leftists on Lemmy). The structure of moderation with mods and admins able to unilaterally take action and the difficulty of organized resistance inevitably leads to abuses, which is what this community is about.

real anarchism is when you let everyone be a shithead and have no aims to improve society, apparently

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago

Real anarchism is when you vote BLUE on the most important election of our lifetime!! ~~For now~~

Organized resistance? Bro has never even heard of grass

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Resistance? To what? Literally what? Somehow our mod team could just do something wild and not face any form of blowback from the toxic trolls you think they created?

This is also annoying considering how much work we have actually put in to wipe away the stain of reddit on this site. Real party-parenti moment.

If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom.

This is frustrating to me. On Hexbear, mod applications are essentially a formality for keeping out trolls. Applications rarely get denied. The place is defacto run by whoever feels like they care enough and have enough time to put in the work. It’s a completely volunteer based position. And everything just runs for the majority of users. The most hierarchical part of the structure is imposed on us by the infrastructure of the internet because someone needs to pay for the server and the domain. Hexbear, the infamous tankie instance, is as close to a flat organization as you can get given the constraints. At the end of the day, some people just don’t like having any restrictions put on anything they do at all for any reason. And it sucks to see them turn that into a political ideology and make it everyone else’s problem that they can’t handle living in a community with already-established norms.

How can anyone look at Traaa's Tactical Herd of mods and assume there's some sort of strict hierarchical standard here? @[email protected] is a marxist, but unless there's something strange in the background Im unaware of, that comm is the most anarchist organized place on lemmy.

i can and will add any trans person thats not a chauvinistic piece of shit to the team at will. if a trans person has a complaint about the comm i immediately ask if they wanna help mod the comm and help fix the issue shrug-outta-hecks i hate how so many trans places online have been couped by libs and turned into little cliques, rapid expansion of the mod team under an anti-capitalist ruleset avoids this and helps increase participation in the comm. also having such a large group of socialist trans people organizing things is very beneficial for setting up mutual aid work and making real world differences in peoples lives. from what i can tell, we have the largest mod team of any front facing trans community on the internet, and we arent done growing.

~~also we have a rapid response team that executes cishets on sight but thats kinda just a fun thing we do on the side~~

inaccurate! there would be a few meow-knife-trans in the team somewhere soviet-pout

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

plus we have the mod chat, where all mods can share their views about site policy and moderation, which is something i bet no other instance has

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

I can’t stand the constant pings but I appreciate everybody who does

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Tbh, I can't name a single mod nor admin from Hexbear despite being familiar with many users.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The admins seem to do their day-to-day posting on various alt accounts, while the mods usually don't have their mod tag active.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What do you mean "the mods usually don't have their mod tag active"? You can't turn of the [M]

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh, they can't? Didn't know that. Don't know what I'm thinking of then.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Mods only have their tag if they mod the comm they are posting in, maybe that confused you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

This is a feature on Reddit. It has not been implemented on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

Authoritarian is the most useless, anti-meaningful word.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

love me some good ol' thread thread thread

The structure of moderation with mods and admins able to unilaterally take action

ideally, every awful, hateful comment must be submitted to a committee made up equally of mods, admins, and users for moderation decisions.

every ban is the result of a super-majority vote of the committee

/s, just in case

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

what even is the point of mods if they're not empowered to moderate?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

"But but but they're not suppose to moderate me, they're supposed to moderate the people I don't like!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

This is literally any website. Somebody somewhere (probably a handful of people) can press the power button. It's "authoritarian" by nature cause if you piss them off enough, that power can be exercised.

If you want to have a truly "free" space online, then it's gonna take a shitton of offline work to build an institution to administrate it. Whining online .... Is not that....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

In the posting justice system, cringe based offenses are considered especially heinous.

In Hexbear, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Posting Unit.

These are their stories.

hell yeah i love unfiltered anarcho-bidenism

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestpy, the thing that gets me the most in that first link is how whiny everyone is. "Buhhhhhh, why can't I tell anarchists to vote for Kamala?" Idk maybe because you're legitimizing the system you're supposedly against? Lmao get out of here.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

I think OPP is neither of those things, and just wants Trump to get elected and is wearing a little plastic anarchist-mask to get it done.

Dude can't comprehend others having a principled stance on genocide and instead frames everything in a tribal understanding projected onto strangers. Same dude who lamented not getting a meeting of the minds when his contribution was essentially "I just imagined Republicans shutting you up for good"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

only slightly modified

The front-end looks similar to reddit, but I'm almost certain the actual code is completely original. I don't think reddit is built in rust for example

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Anarchism is an aesthetic to Unruffled.
