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 tried to warn you all about the creepy-crawlies of DMs, but no one listened.

I mean I was one of the people that got harrassed by homophobic DMs when the site first started. I've only ever used DMs to check if someone is fine, continue a long comment thread privately instead of having a 50 comment deep public chat, and to contact the original developer about site bugs. (Though I don't think they are around anymore). I don't even understand why people would DM randoms on hexbear lol. Especially to debate? Weirdo behaviour.

I remember getting some hate DM from some weirdo patsoc because I was dunking on vets except the patsoc also hate-DMed like 40 people from that thread lmao

I checked their temper tandrum thread before they got banned, and they also hate-DMed you as well.

Was it that "OrganizeOrDie" patsoc or one of his many, many alts?

If he said that depressed people deserved death (because they wouldn't be useful enough in his totally-not-nazbol revolution), that's the one. frothingfash

I've DM'd someone once to ask something I didn't want to put into hextube chat.

Sure you said that then, Cassandra, but why should we believe you now?

I've only had two for the past three years I've been on this site. I must not be posting hard enough.

Every time I log into this site my DMs is the equivalent to lifting up a large rock on a summer's day.

Thank you for your service in the war against the bugs.
