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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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 thought the same thing based on what people were saying about it, lol. They were really overselling it
You can check out the last federation check in thread for some examples. I don't want to put anyone in particular on blast, because I think they're well-intentioned (just wrong)
Edit: Actually revisiting that thread, I don't see the examples I was thinking of. Hopefully you are correct and there are no Blahaj admin defenders on here
I know there are some in the community who haven't given up on wanting to try to fed with them, but as far as I'm concerned it's a fruitless effort. Ada has made it clear that she isn't willing to do anything to make her instance safer (like banning chasers) to protect our users from potential harassment, while at the same expecting that we make changes to accommodate her. She's also constantly been lying to her community about why we defederated them. Trying to work things out with someone like that is a waste of time.
