The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

They need to touch serious fucking grass. Ratio'd the fuck out of them when they tried to take an Ultra-Maoist stance on why Socialism With Chinese Characteristics is Capitalist. deng-cowboy The best part was that it was on a Lemmy.World World News anti-PRC thread filled with racist Xi caricatures and other nonsense, once they realized I knew what I was talking about they gave me a warning not to troll other commenters in bad-faith again (lol). Even the libs seemed to side with me there, lmao deng-smile

Legitimately think they are seriously struggling in their personal life, they've been malding in nearly every comment for the last bit. I kinda pity them.

He does struggle with a lot of personal stuff. Health/disability issues. Medical cannabis to cope with chronic pain.

Before he was a mod I used to chat with him quite a bit on my lemm.ee alt.

pronounsI've seen a picture of him. Very masculine presenting, so I assume he uses he/him pronouns

That's sad to hear. Hopefully the pain has a cure or treatment, but health issues are awful regardless.

I think they need to take a step back, maybe purge their online presense for a bit and come back later, do a bit of a detox.

As for pronouns, Flying Squid doesn't list them so I don't use he/him, that's just my personal stance. I know people who go by they/them or none/use name online (my fiance being one of them) despite having a binary gender, so I'd like to respect that at least unless I find a statement otherwise.

Thanks for the insight!

No I feel you on the pronouns. If I hadn't seen a picture I would use they them as well. And maybe I still should even having seen a picture.

Hey I also really appreciated your analysis in that thread. I read the comment you linked.

Thanks! I try my best, even though I'm not nearly as well read as I'd like to be, but I think I have enough of an understanding to do more good than bad in a room of liberals, haha. heart-sickle
