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

I review these. The smuglord of them respond with “No.”, which technically is a complete sentence in Engel’s text.

The comments on the .world post read like an advert for .ml. "They banned me for being a piece of shit, and tried to have slurs blocked in the source."

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago

The devs come off extremely based in that github thread the poster linked. "Fork it if you don't like it" as if "Lemmy_but_with_slurs" is going to overtake the original version.

I was always under the impression that the .ml stood for Marxist-Leninist

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No but the admins are definitely Marxist-Leninists, one even uses Castro as a pfp

If you're here, please put a question about "was General Dessalines' decision to kill off the remnants of French slaver class in Haiti a genocide or not, regardless of whether you agree or not with the action?"

Then we'll hear of them kkkrakkas complain about white genocide, when they search up that based purge... lmao

they should really change their "about" page from [shit communists like] to [shit communists like (scary)]

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I really don't understand why lemmy.ml's instance description no longer has "leftist" in it as it once had. That probably would have prevented a lot of the confusion. (and probably would have somewhat preserved the "culture" of the instance even after the reddit flood)

I was wondering if they had introduced some javascript to invigilate people actually retyping a sentence which would be funny. But it literally just says copy/paste. And if you really felt badly about this text you could find a sentence like this one:

No.

And if that's not good enough, well, I guess it's just not the instance for you.
