the_dunk_tank
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

What is bahaj? I think I've seen some of them post in here before but don't know what their instance is about.
Anti-communist Vaushite chaser instance spun off from r/196. We were federated with them for a minute until we realized how intolerable they were.
Well, it started as a small kind of libby trans friendly space on Lemmy for just a handful of users that was a spin off of the blahaj.zone misskey instance on fedi (mastodon basically) but because of the Reddit stuff it swelled in size and then r/196 asked if they could migrate to it and suddenly the entire culture of the instance was up ended by chaser vaushites.
also it's become the 1 token trans friend for all the Lemmitors that agrees with their shitty opinions because they can't bear to acknowledge that the instance with the most trans users on is hexbear
They cope and seath sooo fucking much about it, the number of these losers I have seen implying that the trans on hexbear and lemmigrad were fake in some way, troll or bots.
i remember how one of them made a post about how anxious they get when someone shows up with pronouns next to their name because those hexbears are so meeeeann
just
perspective honestly
The gender police is here to beat you until you give up your pronouns
Your pronouns, your thigh-highs and your bicycle, give them to me.
Haha I remember being a lib and feeling that pit in my stomach when I'd see a communist viewpoint, because they always seemed to know more. Like that quote goes, it's the fear that in order to understand it, your whole life would have to change. It's no wonder we were taught to regard communist theory as some kind of cognitohazard or moral contagion: the liberal haze of contradictory propaganda, managed by a focusing and refocusing of emphasis and lenses, must hide it's solid core, because it's solid core is just white supremacy. So what you're left with is this mostly, by mass, this hypocritical ball of nonsense gas, and it's the easiest thing in the world for a materialist explanation of the world to cut through it.
the misskey instance was pretty anticommunist before the reddit migration too, so they were ripe for it
So it's NATO leftist central. I'm starting to realize why every one of them posting here was insufferable as hell.
I still have no idea what the r/196 sub is/was
Just for a little clarification.. Blahaj is also the name of the shark plushie at IKEA that has become sort of a symbol of trans support. That predates the cringe lemmy instance you're talking about (which I had never even heard of until today, but the shark thing has been a phenomenon for years)
