I got banned for the nth time at r/politics a while ago. 8 months maybe. Unlike the other nth times - I never bothered to make a new alt because it seemed like a fool’s errand. In that sub - there tend to be only two plausible outcomes for me…

  • I say what I think - the trajectory is pretty clear. Something like… I pretty quickly I get a temp ban. And then a longer temp ban. And then - of course - a permaban.

or

  • I end up censoring myself so much posting is no fun at all.

Like if somebody there says how “progressive” Biden is and that they are impressed by him - me and that redditor don’t just live in different realities of the US - we live in different universes. Trying to pull them into my reality will never work. And I’ll never be on their rah-rah-rah cheerleading team for Team Democrats. Why do I bother?

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
