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 got banned before I could respond that "chill" and "go for a walk" are two phrases that will have no context in a few decades

It's 100% a bit I don't know how people can think otherwise, but like I said when it was first posted the person should have asked before linking my reddit account in the post

The thing is, if you look at the accounts they named, they didn't just link popular power posters. (For example, I was on the list and nobody on this site knows who I am because I make like one post a day).

The accounts they linked are accounts that dipped into r/antiwork in a few choice threads to clown on people talking about HB in the first place.. Like it seems like a strange amount of effort to only find accounts that followed this weird set of rules to post.

I'm not saying it's a 0% chance it's a bit, but I really don't think it's 100%.

My inference is that those are threads people posted here to brigade

They are

Edit: I guess my point is, if it's a bit account there are too many weird things about it.

•They put a bunch of our accounts on blast. OK, maybe someone took a bit too far, that by itself wouldn't be that weird. Or maybe rather it's weird, but believable.

•Rather than choose accounts from regular posters, they select a weird subset of accounts that only participated in a few exchanges.

•Why post this bit on r/conspiracy, a reactionary subreddit? If you're going to do this bit and you can do it anywhere, why would you choose a reactionary subreddit and not a lefty one where someone might get the joke?

Again, none of these individual pieces exclude the possibility of a bit account, but I think all these pieces together make it less likely to me.

IDK they probably just chose usernames that posted in those threads that they could tell were users here not in regards to how popular they are, and the language of the posts clearly reads like a user here doing satire(use of 'sickos' etc) trying to entice people here , also once someone complained about the usernames being posted in the thread about it here the comment containing them was deleted

and iirc they posted similar things in a few places like antiwork not just conspiracy

Im convinced it's a bit poster from here who kinda fell flat, but if not it's a enver style person not a standard chud
