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

fuck it. everyone is defederating from everything. every user gets their own unique instance and nobody can comment or vote on a different instance.

Fuck yeah don't get in ma brain! Reading other people's thought words is authoritarian AF!

Reading is literally someone transmitting their thoughts into your brain. It's a form of communist brainwashing and the only defense is illiteracy.

Look if you don't ban posting, you're only treating symptoms of the problem.

I took 5 tabs of lsd and defederated from reality

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago (3 children)

5 was the most I've ever done and having done 4 before that, I spent the entire time thinking "I am on exactly one too many tabs to enjoy this"

Wouldn't be Hexbear without everyone being freaked out by it

I keep trying, but they keep the server too high up for me to reach.

Apparently instances can actually defed themselves and it immediately fucks everything up and the entire site dies instantly basically
