Why would I be mad at corporations stealing trillions when there are poor people getting dozens of dollars!

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

If anyone on our instance is responsible for that lone upvote they should be banned.
Also homeless as a noun. every single fucking time
Oh, so you can't see downvotes at all? I thought you just couldn't downvote things yourself, I didn't know you couldn't see them at all.
Sounds nice tbh. The Lemmygrad struggle session elected to keep the downvote, but I think it is not just pointless, but actively detrimental to online discussion.
The only thing I find it useful for is seeing how many libs read just enough of a comment to find out I don't agree with them. Which isn't super useful at all tbh.
It really supercharged our posting strength too, an unintended benefit since I never thought we'd federate.
agreed. downvotes don't serve any purpose but censoring content. replying is a much better way to show disagreement.
Yeah, it's "censorship via popularity contest"
It's the internet's version of a witch trial, though thankfully far less destructive.
yeah that's why I started with that qualifier
homeless as a noun should be instaban too
