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

no, no, i'm not a maoist, i just happened to reach the same conclusion as maoism from first principles reasoning, as an independent free thinker
Im a centrist. I think we should kill Elon Musk AND Jeff Bezos.
I'm just a hard working country boy, which is why I believe we should let the workers run the factories instead of the bosses.

The comments on the .world post read like an advert for .ml. "They banned me for being a piece of shit, and tried to have slurs blocked in the source."
The devs come off extremely based in that github thread the poster linked. "Fork it if you don't like it" as if "Lemmy_but_with_slurs" is going to overtake the original version.
That's cruel. Liberals burst into flame upon reading the holy writ

I was always under the impression that the .ml stood for Marxist-Leninist
No but the admins are definitely Marxist-Leninists, one even uses Castro as a pfp

If you're here, please put a question about "was General Dessalines' decision to kill off the remnants of French slaver class in Haiti a genocide or not, regardless of whether you agree or not with the action?"
Then we'll hear of them kkkrakkas complain about white genocide, when they search up that based purge... lmao

Dude called himself "THE MASTERMIND" the jokes write themselves 
Lol Leftist Shahada
they should really change their "about" page from [shit communists like] to [shit communists like (scary)]
I really don't understand why lemmy.ml's instance description no longer has "leftist" in it as it once had. That probably would have prevented a lot of the confusion. (and probably would have somewhat preserved the "culture" of the instance even after the reddit flood)
I really don't understand why lemmy.ml's instance description no longer has "leftist" in it as it once had.
Some communists have taken to not calling themselves "left" anymore because they see it as synonymous with "liberal" and a barrier to reaching republican voters who automatically switch off the moment they get a whiff of anything left due to programming. The intent being to shift away from left/right altogether because in american politics it's synonymous with culture war when when communists say left we mean it in economic contexts.
