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

So glad that tankie is just a meaningless pejorative now.

Another fine example of "Everything I Don't Like Is A Tankie" tankie gunther-fear

Federation is just going swimmingly.

Kind of a shame, really.

Some of us are thankful for it, at least 😅

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Hey, we still have the other real instances.

Hot take: Lemmy.world hasn’t been a real instance at least since the preemptive defederating of Hexbear

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I never would have found this place if you hadn't though so I'm thankful. Also, startek.website and lemmygrad are cool. The Lemmy Devs are also really cool people even if lemmy.ml has somewhat been co-opted.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

Would it be unfair to call blahaj tra.insjust.run ?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I think it checks out, and so would thir.stycha.sers.

sh.itsjust.fash should shut the fuck up lol. They defend racial caricatures like drawing Chinese people's skin yellow. Still remember how many of their users defended that.

A spectre is hanging over Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We should spread rumors that it is a tankie instance on SJW, then spread rumors on lemmy.world that SJW is a tankie instance. Why should the FBI have all the fun?

We did it!!

I don't know what a tankie is but they're EVERYWHERE

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Damn, meanwhile on world is such a good idea for a community. That's awesome lol.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

If everyone is tankie, nobody is. I wonder what term will ultras find for ML next, when they catch on that their 124134512 scheme of making themselves palatable to liberals failed too.

The idealist side of the discourse is a pathway to many civilities some consider to be undialectical
