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

It's eerie when someone has a full on chuddy meltdown over what particular chud button they had waiting to be pressed.

a lot of times they would have evaded a ban if they had just calm down and disengage after the second comment

I'm not digging too deep into schadenfreude here because I liked some of the people that had full blown meltdowns in the past, and actually miss a few of them.

I've stepped back from that ledge a few times over my years on the site.

Lathe me into existence, why don't you 😂. ~~And I'll die on the hill that I don't owe some cracker who is not and has never been in community with me self-crit like he's some Bronze Age demiurge after he went out of his way to bait me into splitting, either~~
