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

to make everybody hate Twitter.

That's a lofty goal though

Ehh, everybody already hated it before but they hated it while using it.

He made everybody hate it in a way that was different enough to actually kill it (slowly). It's already the same as seeing a greentext to most people at this point.

There's a paid privilege to wear a dunce cap, too. blue-check farquaad-point

That's a good point even the worst of the worst on 4chan would never in a million years pay for the service.

People paying a monyhly fee for their internet dunce cap is keeping the service aflot, which shouldn't be an effective business model but here we are.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not actually an effective business model and he's still hemorrhaging money lol

there were always tripcode users (basically verified users even though it wasn't really verifiable) on 4chan, they posted the most cringe things and were hated by everyone, so pretty much the same as blue-checks. Q of Qanon fame was one of those.
