the new interim head mod of c/the_dunk_tank

It’s not even clear to me what the link he was so intent on posting was supposed to show other than Marcie being completely consistent about finding that shit objectionable and the same issue continuing to fail to be addressed.

Im very confused why some dude keeps saying marcies only been here a minute when davels accounts only 8 months old, and davel as an admin should be very familiar with any user whos got that many strikes against their name

I’m peeping the mod log all the time, the best thing about these forums is you can see a users post history

anyway this drama is giving me life, so validating to see this shit in another community, yay

Can we appreciate his references to “censorship” and a “pedophile witch hunt”, too? I felt like I was hallucinating reading that, it was like a complete 180 of my previous impression of him.

a complete 180 of my previous impression of him.

Honestly I don’t get it. Davel has been on of my favorite members of the broader lemmy-lemmygrad-hexbear commentariat when it comes to knowledgable anti-imperialist takes in the posting trenches. He has consistently been among the best at having pertinent (even lib-denialism-proof) sources on hand and ready to go for when the libs, much in need of being owned as always, start clamoring for them, and then correctly pointing out their own debate bro perversion. I have unjokingly thanked him for his service before.

It is so odd and discouraging to see him on the other side of that gulf.

Truly, no one is immune to the occasional need of touching grass.

Yep, it was really strange, I thought it would be a simple matter of chopping Joker and being done with it, as a .ml user. Now I have made a Hexbear account, and while I won’t likely abandon my .ml account I will be able to jump ship if I wish easily.

Looks like he’s been doing shit like this for a while given what Marcie said, including weird racist and misogynistic defense of that guy months back, basically saying “lol he’s Indian he doesn’t know better, misogyny is just what Indians do” while calling her the chauvinist

This has been happening concerningly frequently; people of established time on the site just absolutely crashing out on the worst possible hills to die on

I agree. I was happy only having a .ml account, but now I’ve made a Hexbear account and I’ll probably stick with one or the other eventually. It was wierd and came out of the blue, Davel usually has good takes so this was very cringe.

Good thing nobody’s dunking on “the entire lemmy.ml mod/admin team” but instead just on the one definite pedo and the two admins defending him

Exactly, that’s why I’m not saying it

lemmy.ml also blocked the_dunk_tank. That’s how butthurt they were over this.

Hmm now that it’s been made obvious that c/the_dunk_tank aren’t oathbreakers and didn’t in fact go rogue after all but still bend the knee to Hexbear, will there be talk of full scale defederation?

(I don’t think they will, it’s just so funny how this has been framed as “going rogue” and now that they’re essentially pulling out of an alliance with a hexbear comm! It’s Just

I don’t think we need to defed and I think some of the admins on lemmy.ml would agree.

Definitely not. If there is actual talk of instance wide defederation over this then something has gone horribly, hilariously wrong. No, I’m just saying how funny the language and framing of this has been, and that they already defederated from the dunk tank.

Create post

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
