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 got banned before I could respond that "chill" and "go for a walk" are two phrases that will have no context in a few decades

Oh boy, Hexbear got a shoutout in the comments! We're famous!
And apparently we're all tankies!
:lets-fucking-go:
Damn right we're all tankies. I'm an anarchist but I still get called tankie a lot by libs, at this point all tankie means is that you are a leftist and the person arguing with you has run out of things to say.
We’re barely a year old and we’re already the Reddit boogeyman
And we’re not even on Reddit!
:astronaut-2::astronaut-1:
Had to check it out, the account that posted the hexbear mention has to be some elaborate bit slash advertisement account by someone here, it's hilarious :michael-laugh:
and
Naw that's a real account they put a bunch of our :reddit-logo: accounts on blast in an r/conspiracy post last month..
Serves us right for having :reddit-logo: accounts honestly
Is this the reason we're here? Sounds based but I must not be getting the memos.
Hexbear-communism is where instead of building international worker solidarity you just post screenshots of tweets
Back at that time, it was widely accepted to be a bit account. But it is becoming more and more clear those of us who assumed that were mistaken and it's fucking hilarious.
It's 100% a bit I don't know how people can think otherwise, but like I said when it was first posted the person should have asked before linking my reddit account in the post
The thing is, if you look at the accounts they named, they didn't just link popular power posters. (For example, I was on the list and nobody on this site knows who I am because I make like one post a day).
The accounts they linked are accounts that dipped into r/antiwork in a few choice threads to clown on people talking about HB in the first place.. Like it seems like a strange amount of effort to only find accounts that followed this weird set of rules to post.
I'm not saying it's a 0% chance it's a bit, but I really don't think it's 100%.
My inference is that those are threads people posted here to brigade
They are
Edit: I guess my point is, if it's a bit account there are too many weird things about it.
•They put a bunch of our accounts on blast. OK, maybe someone took a bit too far, that by itself wouldn't be that weird. Or maybe rather it's weird, but believable.
•Rather than choose accounts from regular posters, they select a weird subset of accounts that only participated in a few exchanges.
•Why post this bit on r/conspiracy, a reactionary subreddit? If you're going to do this bit and you can do it anywhere, why would you choose a reactionary subreddit and not a lefty one where someone might get the joke?
Again, none of these individual pieces exclude the possibility of a bit account, but I think all these pieces together make it less likely to me.
IDK they probably just chose usernames that posted in those threads that they could tell were users here not in regards to how popular they are, and the language of the posts clearly reads like a user here doing satire(use of 'sickos' etc) trying to entice people here , also once someone complained about the usernames being posted in the thread about it here the comment containing them was deleted
and iirc they posted similar things in a few places like antiwork not just conspiracy
Im convinced it's a bit poster from here who kinda fell flat, but if not it's a enver style person not a standard chud
I just sent them, u/A_truth_warrioress a PM on :reddit-logo:, inviting them here to come discuss the situation with us.
:yes-hahaha-yes-l:
:sicko-yes:
I almost inhaled my tea
Yeah they're not ok I don't think.
I think this is what you mix getting brigaded by Hexbears with a mental break.
In their post history they mention their therapist telling them to stay off social media.
For my mental health, I’m assuming it’s a bit.
Specifically because we are apparently targeting them:
I didn't see that until after I invited them here.
If it's not a bit, I probably just totally confirmed that delusion.
I feel like mentioning every other, extremely-online post you make how your therapist told you to stop using social media - I feel like that just confirms that it has to be a bit. Right? ...Right?
I mean... yes. Here's the response I got:
then,
Lmao wait til this loser hears that we have mods in half the subreddits they use on the site.
The long march through the Subreddits.
:sicko-wistful:
:juche-boi: LMAO
No liberal knows what Juche is lmfao
WHERES MY MONEY XI
What the hell they didn't mention me? Guess I gotta post harder.
