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

Step 1 is to use a different browser than when you were banned. Step 2 is to use a fake email address to activate the account. https://temp-mail.org/en/ I found that when i didnt use an email, i was shadowbanned fast but if you use an email it seems to get around it.

Pretty sure it's a hardware ID ban, if I make a new account and log in on any of my devices I'm instantly banned without posting

It's easy to make a new browser fingerprint. Websites don't have access to your actual hardware ID (and even that can be changed).

They shadowbanned me when I joined, but when I appealed and mentioned that I'm just using a VPN and not ban-evading, they lifted it. I'm one of the lucky ones, I'm sure they've denied appeals of lots of people who were in my situation
