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 [email protected]

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

Reddit feels increasingly astroturfed on anything related to foreign countries. Publicfreakout has China videos that portrays the country as falling apart every other day and Worldnews has nothing but the same about Russia. There's also every other sub that mentions a "bad" country and gets thousands of upvotes while the same for the US gets removed if it manages to get around the same number.

I got hit with the downvotes for just saying "the USSR were allies in WW2"

Nothing makes them mad like claiming the USSR did most of the heavy lifting against Germany in WW2

Once again, Reddit is a CIA op and is led by Jessica Ashooh that has worked for the fucking Atlantic Council who conducts mass censorship on US critical stories

I've said this before but I got permabanned on /r/worldnews for simply pointing out that Radio Free Asia is US government funded propaganda and has a history of direct support from the CIA, with proper sources.

reddit is a fucking mess.

It was removed for being a "feature story" despite being like 5 paragraphs long and being straight to the point, which AFAIK is the opposite of a feature story.

And according to the site's blurb - it was written by an investigative journalist who has a wheelhouse in environmental reporting.
