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

In my part of Ireland we say "ye" for a plural you, like "how are ye doing?" Some people in Dublin say "yous" or "yis"

Much better than saying "you guys".

"You guys" is non gendered for all the people in regions who use it but I understand why people who don't use it feel gendered by it when it's said to them.

But the point of my comment was this feels more like cracker using AAVE to talk down.

I believe this person is from Texas, where y'all is a standard cracker term. I'm from Texas as well and I feel like I'm from bizarro world because here saying y'all makes you sound white. It seems like outside of the south is where y'all is AAVE.
