You apparently can still, but you must accompany your dunk posts with a 10 page thesis with citations on why it should be dunked on and illustrate multiple conclusions on the nature of MuskFan1488's reactionary tendencies. Any posts with missing citations will be removed because we are all adults here and this is a very serious site. Excuse me while I go make a post about Beanis shitting out little Beanis.

Uhhhhhh I already suck at efforposts.

Is this site trying to become r/AskHistorians but for leftism?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

One of the dunk tank mods actively hates the low effort posts and I assume was one of the main drivers of getting dunk/dredge shut down. The only conclusion I can draw is they want to slowly kill the site by making it less welcoming and drive down engagement. I try to read the multi paragraph comments sometimes but my ADHD causes my eyes to gloss over.

Why would you mod a community filled with content you hate? Just block it?

This is like that one SDP leader who hated revolution.

Because other people were enjoying it and naturally if you shut down the shit posting then everyone will start having involved discussions on the nature of dialectics.

Ohh that's like how I focused on my schooling instead of getting drunk because I wasn't old enough to drink! Makes sense to me.

Fr. I only blocked two communities here, but it was really all I needed for the perfect site.

this is the official site of the podcast citations needed after all

I just couldn't wrap my head around how building the longest railroad secured our rights as posters

😘 Your missing out on the fun little quotes we have at the top of the page. It'll be like "And that's why Biden should fall down the stairs" - Karl Marx and ur like "so true karl!"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

r/shitliberalssay, r/trueanon, and r/thedeprogram already have this sort of content. I can understand the derision for this slop, but turning Hexbear into r/communism where only serious assessment of reality through Marxism is allowed also baffling given the name of this site and the site culture.

welcome to drumph's america

I still don’t understand why that was the takeaway from that announcement

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Shutting down arguably the most popular comms and then making the new one with a "Must write this much to post here" sign doesn't feel great.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Maybe I missed the sign. Just seems like a repeat of the main closing to me and the site was fine after that despite it seeming like the end of the world.
