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 like TikTok, but I hate my semi-addiction to TikTok. I could be reading theory instead of mindlessly swiping those dumb videos.
They have theory on tiktok. Use the algorithm
ofc not, no more than any is going to become educated on theory from lemmy - there's no substitute for reading books. but just like lemmy, there's comrades producing agitprop and teaching the basics to get people interested enough to read said books. is it a substitute for a real org? absolutely not - posting is not in fact praxis. but it's not meaningfully worse than the rest of social media.
I appreciate the thought, but I'll keep to the books. I'm not particularly interested in getting theory from tiktok, I've seen how wrong people can be on that platform as on any other social media.
