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

People hate shitty bot, lw admin triples down and is threatening to make it against lw terms of service to down vote it.

Taking bets on how long until it's a confirmed violation to be against the bot?

Guess it may already be in the news comm https://lemm.ee/post/41044575

Overall, we rate Mondoweiss as Left Biased and Questionable due to the blending of opinion with news, the promotion of pro-Palestinian and anti-zionist propaganda, occasional reliance on poor sources, and hate group designation by third-party pro-Israel advocates.

“For example, the article [‘Nazi genocide against Jewish population’] is emotionally loaded and one-sided against the [German] government due to its use of highly charged language and its singular focus on alleged atrocities committed by [the Nazis] without providing context or perspectives from the [German] side.” So on and so forth.

Wondrous!

Erm HRW (not a biased Western NGO) made a report (deconstructed by Norman Finkelstein) that weakly suggests this POV. No we will not include any evidence that suggests Israel is responsible, such as them bombing the cancer ward of that same hospital days earlier, an IOF spokesman cheering on the bombing as attacking Hamas, Israel misrepresenting Al Jazeera footage and their own as well, faking phone calls and video, etc. It’s clear from scale alone and the pattern of bombing hospitals that Israel was responsible, and this is where fence-sitting becomes absurd.

Yeah but it's using that founder's methodology so it's good now.

Guess what lw doesn't allow as a news source...
