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

I feel sad when i see a (good and not reactionary) post and it has no upbears based on also having posting anxiety and having experienced no interaction with a post, so if i'm browsing and not logged on, i go on a browser to give it a bear, though since federation i have to be a lot more selective, but ultimately I still upbear hex and lemmygrad posters' posts hexbear-non-binary

Plantifa! Always glad to see you perk your soft head up in threads

Thanks

I was a little worried how federation would turn out and it's been the most enjoyable site period its had so far. new comrades to riff with and new subjects of scorn to goof on. I was worried that posting strength had stagnated between CTH and federation, but nope, Hexbear's still got it!

this shitlib should take a look at thedonald.win if they want to see blatant vote manipulation. our user participation (comments, etc.) is in line with our vote totals
