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

As usual, they forgot about the Tilderinas and Tilderines.

Tilderistas

... tilder sounds like a verb actually. I wonder what 'yo tieldo' would mean.

Tilderistas

Reading that made me say "Whaterino the fuckerino is thiserino?"

haha the top comment atm starts with:

There was a Ted Talk I saw years ago

LIB

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Why are some of the comments marked exemplary?

Oh users tag it. So the top comment about how it's all just hate and can't be explained got marked exemplary

And then after stating their lib credentials proceeds to explain everything away using “hate.” Yup, that’s all that’s here to see. This group hates that group and they hate them back, and it’s a vicious hate that us westerners just can’t understand because of reasons I can’t explain because then it becomes obvious I’m racist and totally vibes based. And they’re so sure of this because of the simple fact, if there was no hate there would be no fighting. In conclusion, watch more movies and somehow that will mean less hate.

Of fucking course a brain dead, all idealist, no materialist take would be the top “exemplary” comment.

When people feel like they have to pick a side or can't make sense of what they are observing, I've given historical context and examples that helped them realize they don't need to pick a side and things are more complicated than they appear.

See sweaty, here’s why the genocide is natural and inevitable and we just get to sit back and enjoy the show

I haven't been on

LINKS FOR THE NOT BEING A LIB https://tildes.net

in years, is it good/bad/worse?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The thread is on the front page, and the comments are pretty bad, yeah. Liberal both-sides detachment about a genocide. I find it funny that there seem to be users with a tag called "Exemplary", and they all have the worst takes lol.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

"Remember the human" yeah except sometimes the human is a genocidal fuck that supports brown people being butchered en masse

"Two sides to every issue" yeah and sometimes one of them is full of shit

The older I get, the more I loathe these civility-brained dipshits that are removed enough from actual conflict to 'both-sides' people being exterminated

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's the preferred social media of the richest, most divorced from reality tech bro I know.

Take this as you will.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

But I thought Elon Musk used Twitter?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wait that's supposed to be HN, isn't it?

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

Fortunately I do not know that many tech bros.

The worst part of genocide is when I am made temporarily uncomfortable on my niche internet forum :(((((

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

They're sooo close to figuring out that punishing people for anti-fascist/anti-imperialist beliefs and not doing the same for pro-fascist ones turns a website into a right wing cesspit. They're so close to understanding why freezepeach is nothing but a dogwhistle to protect toxic views and is hypocritical at best.

fuck.. its even worse reading it again

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago

Don't worry, we will remember the human behind the screen that is pro genocide. We won't forget them because we need to make sure they're first against the wall.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago

I was on that site during the early days. It's if @civility was a website. Of course I left when I realized civility doesn't appy if it's a bunch of anglos constantly being racist towards nonwhites.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Remember the human. Not the ones that are being killed though. Forget about those.

All differences are reconcilable if we just make the right inspirational speech about coming together!

Just another internet forum.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Filled with liberals I can imagine

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

We welcome all Palestinians and all Jews as long as you condemn the Great Satan and it’s underlings

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I admit I stopped reading when I read tildes and has no fucking idea what that meant.

I blame zoomers

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's the name of a reddit-like forum in the same way that Lemmy is. It's not really Zoomer stuff.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is exactly what a zoomer would tell me

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Tildes skews gen x and millennial like HN.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

you can tell because they call themselves Tilderinos. that's millennial cringe

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

It's Hackernews for a bunch of whiny bazingas who think online forum etiquette is the most important thing on the planet.
