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 [email protected]

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

I accused a redditor who made a post about how "Joe Biden isn't too old/they would vote for a ham sandwich over Trump/people calling Biden old are Russia bots" of just being too racist to vote for a black woman. They proceeded to write like a ~1000 word response detailing how they run a "voter education" non-profit that is affiliated with/funded by the Democratic party and all the work they have specifically done helping to get women of color elected. They promptly deleted that response after I told them to just say they were astroturfing next time.

Wow. I never got a reply that fantastic. The best I ever got was a redditor who said something like "I work on The Hill and I don't know any congresspeople who act like you are implying." I tried to get them to keep talking but they effectively stopped with that comment.

They way to get those people talking is to accuse them of lying.
