this and the fake news com are the only two I have blocked here. Just way more obnoxious than they could ever be funny.

Someone made a post about human transmission of Avian Flu in the Fake News section like that’s a funny bit or something. Where’s the joke? Absolutely ridiculous and should be taken down.

Honestly yeah, I make a point to not shit on anything anymore for the most part but the fakenews comm is annoying at best and alarming when I’m not paying attention

Somebody posted a fake news post in a default comm a month ago because fake news was temporarily closed and I just blocked that person.

If the articles are written in a way that is a fun satire I’m more okay with it. Reading the onion is a fun enough time at points, but just lying about news and making up stories defeats the purpose of having the community.

I think the point is to make people double check the source before they believe something they read online? it’s a worthwhile goal but an explanation of media literacy should really be an automatic reply to every post in that comm.

Also way to give a concrete example for every lib to point to and correctly say “they’re completely irony poisoned and unfunny at best and actually secretly right wingers at worst”

Create post

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
