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

It's really strange, I thought the alt right playbook vids were being overdramatic with the Nazi bar syndrome. I can't tell if the concern trollers are unintentionally libbing out or just fascists doing their job to prevent any sort of left unity. Same thing maybe.
I don't want to insult anyone by calling them a bot or a bad actor, but I feel more safe posting here than over in their supposedly "less troll" instance.
I think that response is weird. Feels like a nice pat on the back, "you see someone who's a friend and is saying stuff that is good, but they're bad, and you should cut them off. Also that's a good sign that you have so many friends?" And an NPR podcast? Like it feels so on the nose I'm doubting reality
it's supposedly a sign that your minitory group has truly taken hold in society
Huge "I think the trans people have all the rights they need and are more than equal" vibes. 3 comments ever. Is funding the ko fi donations though, so maybe just a very poorly worded thing to say? I don't think a right wing op would be donating to a pro trans blahaj lemmy instance as cover.

mods, if we're going to make concessions to the other instances around our posting, they need to ban this kind of transphobic bullshit. that this user wasn't banned is deeply offensive and rage inducing. how can they call themselves a queer instance and allow this kind of shit to stand? removing the comment is fine and all but it allows the user to continue posting this drivel at us whenever we post.

This is a tangent, but have you talked with our friends over there about how 196 is extremely hostile to our existence and what is to be done about that? It seems like a sticking point.

lmao I really love how these rancid motherfuckers just make shit up
Like do they realize we can see their posts? Why lie, just own your anti-communism
Honestly I'd rather be called a slur than deal with this sanctimonious horseshit
it doesn't come down to Trans solidarity, but what this community believes on a moral level
yuck, love having white nationalist pedophiles talking about "morality"
No it doesn't. Lmao.
You're just showing how completely unfamiliar with anything to your left you are.

There are people here PRETENDING to be trans!?
This is unacceptable. Please report yourselves forthwith.
This is gonna bring out a lot of false positives with how common imposter syndrome affects the trans community. It’s me, I’m the fake trans.
