The real dunk tank is Rule 8 yet again. This one would have been fun and fresh to dunk on but it's definitely going to disappear any minute now. Sorry OP you're only allowed to find another celebrity repeating the same propaganda that every other celebrity is also repeating, that's the only content allowed now.

    I'm gonna go ahead and leave this one up because it's hilarious and mansplaining is absolutely a mainstream form of dipshit brainworms.

    Rule 8 is about passing a vibe check so we're not getting mad at fake shit and unfathomably fringe opinions that only a single twitter pervert supposedly has.

    I think that's probably my biggest beef with Rule 8 is that it is basically impossible to know what will and will not pass the vibe check. I mean I agree this one is great and should definitely stay but it's impossible to know until it does or doesn't.

    What is most confusing to me about it is rule 8 doesn't read (to me) the way Emma is interpreting it. If the rule was "don't get made at fake shit and unfathomably fringe opinions that only a single twitter pervert supposedly has." I'd feel a lot better about it and I think most detractors would too (maybe not though). But the actual rule seems very different to me. When the mods said it would get rewritten I imagined something a whole lot more like what Emma just said then the rule 8 we actually got. The rewrite was mostly reversing it from "Must be popular/lot of upvotes" to "Must not be unpopular/low upvotes". Which, again at least to me, doesn't really change it.

    I don't know, maybe I'm getting too caught up in the wording.

    rule 8 for my mobile comradesThe 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.
    spoilerThat's enough whining from me, honestly not even sure if I should post but shrug-outta-hecks

    You (and everyone) should always post. Posting is Praxis.

    But yes I think this is really the issue; the rule should be more clear, even if it just "mod discretion on this" then fine, write it that way. This community is undoubtedly full of anxious folks who will have a post they wanna share, look at the rules, go "I dunno I'm scared" and then just...not. I'd rather people err on the side of posting and having it removed because "doesn't meet the criteria for vibe check" than folks go "I dunno if that's allowed or not" and just ... not post. More posts more better I think.
