I wasn't joking when I said I don't read any of the rules or guidelines on these sites but this is definitely slop since it's twitch right?

Bastard tricked me into reading the sidebar, good summary. Then it's slop because they don't tell people how to take action or where they really stand.

Usually it's just people defending charity from lunatics calling it terrorism. Marching around does not count. Cargo cult shit

Here's the history of this comm.

~14 years ago - There's a subreddit called "r/shitliberalssay". It's a communist subreddit to criticize things that liberals say on social media. It still exists today and it mostly has social media screenshots.

~10 years ago - Chapo Trap House podcast was formed

~6 years ago - r/chapotraphouse was banned and hexbear was formed. A user asked for a comm called "ShitReactionariesSay" and the mod created a comm called the_dunk_tank. I think this means the comm was intended to replicated the functionality of r/shitliberalssays. I believe the word dunk was chosen because many hexbears came from twitter where dunk mean to humiliate, in reference to basketball dunking

~2 years ago - There was an argument about whether screenshots of lemmy users from other instances were allowed to be posted in the_dunk_tank. It was called "Rule 8", you'll notice that slop only has 7 rules. Then "the_dredge_tank" was created to allow users to continue mocking screenshots of other lemmy instances.

<2 years ago - The Dunk Tank and The Dredge Tank were closed because the concept of the a "dunk tank" originates from racist Jim Crow era. Though I think many people interpreted the name as the basketball term "dunk". In place of these comms, two new comms formed: "gossip" and "slop".

9 months ago - The gossip comm is shut down and considered to be merged into the slop comm.

With that history in mind, I think this comm should resemble the content of /r/shitliberalssay, that is criticizing screenshots of people saying anti-communist things on social media. I don't that subreddit even allows posts that aren't images.

This is due to "anti-brigading" reddit "rules" AFAIK, we are not bound by the same constraints. Screenshots do make browsing much nicer though, so I wouldn't mind requiring them with the option to post links.
