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

Like you, I discovered CTH out of curiosity. It was so ridiculous and funny. Mostly, I was shocked at the attitude people had towards it.
I have since seen this pattern repeat. Leftist spaces are banned quickly. Meanwhile, libs hem and haw about free speech when it comes to openly fascist spaces and their views.
I already considered myself a socialist when Bernie ran in '16, but the viciousness with which the dems attacked him stayed with me. Meanwhile, they say things like "we need a strong republican party".
The more I saw these things, the further left I got. Nothing frightens centrists more than the left. Not fascists, not dictators, nothing.
Am glad to have found this place! I missed the humor and irreverence at CTH. So many socialist/communist places are serious. It's nice to take the piss every once in a while.
Parenti even has a line about this in one of the Yellow videos. Something like "The day after the revolution liberals start asking if the fascists can have free speech and political parties and newspapers"
