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

this is so out of place and context (idrc about it) but how is a ban justified for a single opinion comment like that lmao

~~For the record and so people stop reporting it, user was comm b& for a week for posting this. Comment left up for those who want to continue dunking.~~

update: I decided AutomatedPossum was right, ban is now permanent

I'm sorry I was too diplomatic in my response to the question. I've been gone a while, I feel like I need to "be civil" everywhere online. It wont happen again.

That single opinion

the allies were just as bad as the axis

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

well there's the genocide of indigenous americans, chattel slavery, the hindustan famines, colonialism in general, and... i dunno, the dead romanov kids?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't get me wrong, America isn't good or anything. In the context of ww2, the allies were far better then the axis powers.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

yeah i was just doing the not what they meant thing.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Dont restart the Romanov discussion

[–] nemoTheCatfish@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

i have absolutely no insight into what is going through that moderator's head. i don't care to justify their actions on a board that i did not know about until i read that thread. i came to hexbear after r/cth got banned and then went offline for a few years so i don't know all of the lemmy drama lore.

i just think it's really funny that someone is this upset about being temporarily banned from a forum for being a tedious centrist loser.

Pro-nazi apologetics will not be tolerated, under any circumstance

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

If your opinion is that stupid then yeah bannin

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Just make a new account.

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

There is no due process here and there doesn't need to be

[–] AutomatedPossum@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the only problem i see here is that somebody who openly defended nazis was banned for just a week, that's way too lenient

[–] blashork@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're right, made it permanent
