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 used to get nextdoor alerts in my email because I was looking for someone to housesit my cat while I went to rehab (and surprise nobody helped me) and the boomer psychosis over there is insane. Although the posts about random bears in the summertime were funny.
ALERT BEAR SPOTTED ON FOREST AND MARKET STREET!
A Hexbear is rising in the world today
Look at this dope ass bear
Joining Nextdoor to get all the dope-ass bear alerts
Hexdoor
Nextdoor is the only platform I've ever gotten a temp ban on. I was arguing with a boomer about why the city had not re-paved her cul-de-sac and went and pulled up her property tax records by using the name on her nextdoor account. I used this to point out that, because of the fucked up way California property tax works, she was paying less property tax in a year than I paid rent in a month.
I got a temp ban for doxxing.
lol I've done similar on facebook.
I think I got kicked from my neighborhood or something for saying Israel was a colonialist state and doesn’t have the right to defend itself under a pro-IDF post.
I sometimes have a morbid curiosity and wanna check my neighborhood. But my mom tells me about all the "scary" stuff on hers, and it just sounds like boomers pissing themselves because they saw a pedestrian.
My neighbor has Ring which is annoying, because she's recording anything I say on my patio. But I guess they have their own social just like nextdoor, but with videoclips of neighbors.
One of my customers has multiple ring cameras at different entrances to the house and has called his next door neighbor who is WFH for most of the week to check out what the men walking on the sidewalk out front were doing. I'm sure their hi vis vests and truck with the county name plastered across the side were very scary for him.
Government goons spotted. What nefarious schemes could they be plotting?
i kind of wanted to make a nextdoor to exclusively complain about military aircraft noise and see how many people i could get worked up but i think it'd drive me more insane
I feel like this thread convinced me to make a fake account and spam it with alerts of suspicious subjects paragliding.
Yuh they keep complaining about someone (me) stealing their “We Stand With Israel” flags
My sister lives a mile from a gun range in the hills and sees those posts on Next Racist constantly. Also alerts whenever a black man is walking through the neighborhood.
"Suspect is a black man wearing clothes between the age of 16 and 60" was a running joke for a while.
I haven't really looked there much, and just got assaulted by endless waves of "I THINK THE REAL OROBLEM[sic] IN SOCIETY TODAY IS A LACK OF RESPECT"
This is so much in my small town' Facebook groups. Along with those "I remember the milkman" posts.
What if the West did what they thought the STASI did and it was an app?
Back when I joined next door someone posted a pic of a local urgent care and called it a baby killing factory. It got a ton of confused responses until someone figured out that years ago there was a clinic in that same lot that did abortion procedures back when it was allowed. Terrible app I don't recommend.
I check Nextdoor every now and then just for a laugh. It's usually old people saying stuff like "has anyone else seen this suspicious black man waiting at the bus stop looking like he's going to do something" or "I have a puzzle of princess Diana for sale. £15. Missing 23 pieces"
Living in an iffy part of town, I heard gunshots at like 3 am. Thankfully I woke up not a minute or two before that just to flip my pillow, sparing me a rough wakeup. Meanwhile, I think one of those apps has helped to make my dad in the suburbs more of a paranoid and irrational person over time. He has nothing to fear but raccoons going through his trash.
My dads on one of those and it's mostly people posting shit they need to get rid of. I got a free vacuum cleaner and a chair off it.
