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.

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

From now on a new rule is in place

~~Rule 8: The subject of a post must be highly visible, which means that it is either highly upvoted/liked/viewed, posted by a public figure or widely known of in society.~~

Reworded rule:

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.

c/the_dunk_tank should be about dunking on capitalist/reactionary ideas floating in society not about finding one idiot to get mad at, so the rule has been introduced to make sure that is the case

@mods would my most recent post be disallowed under the new rules? a bit confused and wanna clarify, since i think they are sorta known and i was more criticizing the ideology and idea espoused, but lmk either way!

thanks for the work, we love our mod comrades cat-trans
