Referring a girls video about christmas being a week away

Yeah, but so does this one lol

The reputation of your instance on my instance is that your instance is full of smug liberals that chime in with lazy gotchas about stuff they don’t really understand, and then act wounded when they get met with a similar degree of uncivility, and some, I assume, are good people.
The reputation of my instance on your instance is that we are rude and mean for no reason and brainwashed tankies, and some, I assume are good people.

Hexbears reputation is like that on most instances because most instances reputation is like this on hexbear. Also some people think we are trump supporters for some reason lol.

edit: The main reputation is that this is a site full of people that haven’t read Marx telling other people who haven’t read Marx that they should read Marx

Lmao the one good @discuss comment

Why is this up to moderators that don’t like their comms?

Looking forward to the “stabbed in that myth” that’s gonna get nazi ukrainians to do stochastic terror to the rest of Europe yayyyy

Dunking is also still a fine term to use, it’s basketball terminology. The racist term was specifically Dunk Tank

But captain ahab whyesseff, you are a part of the mod team.

Not trying to stir up a shitstorm, but I was a little surprised when it was pointed out that @replaceable is a mod of the dunk tank, considering the fact he doesn’t enjoy its’ content. I was also surprised that this is how he decided to engage with those he disagreed with. Honestly if this is how you feel about a comm, just don’t moderate it instead. I don’t know who argued for what behind the scenes, but if this is the general mindset behind the reasoning provided, then jeez. Posting isn’t praxis, hexbear is itself a treat.

I gotta say, it’s weird to me to moderate a comm full of content one dislikes. I still don’t understand the mentality of “I don’t like it, therefore no one should be able to interact with it.” There’s plenty of stuff here I dislike or don’t get, but others do, so what’s the problem? I don’t really see the purpose of the megathread for example, but others do.

The name change is good and I hope there’s some formalized process for voting for new names or whatever is decided. I still don’t understand wether the rules have been changed or if you’re now going to not do that. I really don’t understand communicating like this in an announcement-thread about one of the most active comms, when you’re a moderator of that comm, that’s just not fostering anything good. It’d be pretty weird if I was a dismissive dick in c/internationale or in a thread about rules changes to c/internationale.

Sad!

seems like the mod team of the dunk tank has been infiltrated by liberals then

I’d bet you’d be wrong. Pizza chips don’t taste like pizza

Oh! Okay that makes sense. Yeah I don’t think it’s any more or less than anything else on the site, especially not considering the fact that many of the most hostile users in this thread are those arguing against the existence of the dunk tank

disengage

That’s not how the rule works dickhead. It’s not a magic spell to get the last word, and using it like that actively damages it as a tool for the case it’s actually meant to be used in.

Touch grass fella, deeply unserious

As opposed to the very serious leftist which you are being lol. It’s funny how hexbear can accurately point out how “I depicted myself as a chad and you as a soyjack, therefore I win” is incredibly infantile, but the second someone disagrees with one of our resident contrarians they pull out ol’ “I AM THE GRASS TOUCHER”

I’m not the one trying to feign some above-it-all-not-wasting-time-online-attitude. I am well aware that this is all a waste of time and effort, I’ve not been trying to claim that it’s anything other than a treat. You’re still continuing a pointless argument that you said you refused to get engaged in. That’s you, you dweeb. I thought you were too good for this? I do it because I enjoy it at least.

edit: I’m also not the person getting mad people don’t enjoy my shitty bit, desperately attempting to spam a bunch of comms with a movie clip that I think makes my halfassed attempt at comedy work.

doubleedit: Absolutely pathetic
touch grass

Yeah seems like that’s what is going on. This is a mod of the dunk tank commenting

Turns out one of the users commenting with snide remarks about the dunk tank was a mod of the dunk tank lol.

Did you mean to reply to me or am I missing some line of reasoning in your response? I haven’t been talking about misanthropy and my general vibe hasn’t changed, so my own personal misantropy-levels have remained unchanged.

I don’t think you’re the stupid one, since this is how a mod of the dunk talk writes about the com and the closing of it. Seems like the reasoining is mainly just “I don’t like it”

Little followup: I think these comments from a dunk tank mod might help give you a bit of a better idea of what the answers to your questions are

So it seems like it is ol’ faithful “some mods/admins think this should be revolutionary or something”: This is a comment from one of the mods of the_dunk_tank. I think his attitude and behaviour in this thread gives a nice idea of who argued for shutting down the comms, as well as what the actua arguments were lol

I don’t know who our audience is, but at least one of the mods of the dunk tank thinks we need to direct the energy towards those more deserving lol
