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

I just came back to this site recently and it seems like it's turning to shit

Half the results for stuff I look up is AI sludge and it all looks like shit

Incredible choice for a site supposed to be about creativity to encourage and offer tools to automate away creativity

What are some good platforms? I keep forgetting sorry

Cara.app, no AI is allowed. I've been using it for a month now and the vibes over there are overwhelmingly positive and chill.

Depends what you like, Furaffinity is pretty good for that sort of stuff and pixiv is good for anime stuff, a lot of artists use twitter but it's twitter. Other than that, niche discords and forums are the only places I really know about these days, it's much, much smaller than it used to be.

doesn't pixiv have a massive pedo problem

I don't know. Probably does, I've only ever really dipped my toe in there, but I wouldn't be surprised, it's anime focused art site after all.

No idea, I don't use it. Seems like it is more a site for making and selling video game assets though?
