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

The "Words of Iron" app gives zionists one centralized hub to promote posts that support Israel by increasing their engagement (including by pasting pre-written comments) while directing users to anti-zionist posts to report in an effort to get the post or the poster removed from the internet. It's a zionist brigading app.

They need to add lootboxes and battlepasses if they want to convince me to join. Insult 5 Arab children and you unlock dark mode

Help prevent the spread of false or anti-Israeli content by reporting it.

bit on the nose imo

As fucked up as this is, how hard would it be to take this concept and make a leftist version of it for us to use to brigade our enemies?

They started it so why shouldn't we? why-shouldnt-i

I edit in Wikipedia. The pro Israeli brigading is fucking painful. You can't get in one discussion without 7 other random editors jumping in to chime in to say that Al Jazeera is a biased news source or that a Twitter post disproved that point.

"Words of Iron" sounds like a name a neonazi would come up with.

I was gonna post if the Nazis had internet this is the type of shit they would name their websites, although words of iron might be 60 letters long in German for all I know.

Brigading is a made up redditor concept used by people who are mad that people from outside their echo chamber show up. Whatever this is shouldn't be conflated with that.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it's the opposite, this is actual brigading and what redditors use the word for shouldn't be confused with this

[–] KiraChats@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

whichever it is, please dont mistake me for a redditor k-pain

Yeah, been saying for years that this is what the left should be doing.

Same, we need to employ propaganda more effectively. I don't like things like this, but the mainstream narrative is always against us and we should take any opportunity to offset that even slightly.

this

This is one of the ways how the mainstream narrative is built. Organize means much more than Unions, it means using the tools we have available to us to build a united front in advancing our goals. One of which should most definitely be fighting their propaganda and the consent manufacturing that makes it easier for them to commit social murder on us. Oh, and in this case, literal Genocide.

I fully agree with you, but we'd be banned off the platform in a matter is days. Brigading is only OK when it serves the current power structure.
