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

Love when people don't get the hint that a)I don't like them and b) I do not wish to continue the conversation
"Debate me bro! Stop being such a debatebro about it though, debate me, I'm just asking questions, why are you scared to respond? Why are you afraid of the truth? Stop being such a debatebro nazi and answer my questions! You're coping and seething! Debate me! Give me the attention I crave!"
It's brutal and effective. Doesn't shut them up, but leaves them floundering, they always have the same canned "I'm not a debate pervert, I'm just asking questions!" response. Every time.
I have learned the secret art of not giving a shit about engaging with people
It works at the mall for those folks at the kiosks, it works with Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, and it works with the chuds at stores who are mad that I still wear a mask everywhere
I find that looking like a homeless person is enough to get everyone to leave you alone. If you don't look like you have any money, they won't bother you.
I usually look like one of the Strangers from Dark City
