the_dunk_tank
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

So I was correct in assuming that the post itself was fine, and the real reason behind it's removal was who posted it? If so I think I earned a collective laugh for me and my friends over here.
This is my biggest gripe, I "borrowed" that meme from r/piracy it's clearly related to piracy: it's a play (an iperbole) on the stereotype of the "corporate bootlicker" I bet you encountered it tons of times in piracy communities, I certainly did.
I'm laughing more than I'm crying, and so are all the other people in the thread.
Your mods ban posts from lemmy.ml (may I remember you it's the 3rd largest and the oldest lemmy instance, founded by the lead developers and founders of lemmy software) on sight and we're the ones who need to chill? Bro I hate diagnosing people but your mod team is in a deep paranoid psichosis, if not outright bigotry against said instances. Do you want an echo chamber? Because that's how you get an echo chamber.
I say it's related, you say it's unrelated, no point arguing.
Did you read the comments (both mine and of others?) we are just chatting, no salt down here. You think I'm salty, I think I'm not.
My post won't be reinstated, but we had a cheap laugh at the expense of your mod and had some sane discussions between ourselves, as far as I'm concerned this is a net win for me. You'll think we are all just a bunch of salty lunatics and that's your opinion.
There's no point arguing when both sides have unreconcilable viewpoints, our conversation ends here. Disengage.
Hey, not a moderator, but next time you want to disengage on hexbear, just post 'disengage' with nothing else. I don't think you did anything strictly incorrect here, but we need to keep the rules clear for people like db0.
Got it, wanted to clarify that we have different unreconcilable viewpoints and all that stuff, still learning this hexbear thing. I'll keep it in mind for the next time.
Edit: accidentally sent a couple extra comments
S'all good!
