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 completely agree beatnik's doxing was retaliation for him being welcoming to anarchists. But do you really think the admins on this site don't have alts after that? When we all witnessed how bad opsec combined with making enemies can lead to someone trying to destroy your life?
We should all be alternating between accounts for security reasons, especially for arguing with people... You have no idea if the person you just called a radlib is a maniac who will pick though your history to dox you, SWATT you and get you fired. But it's especially important for admins because of their high visibility.
I'm using an alt rn because I don't want raddle to come after me when I'm starting drama with them. The ziq parody you're replying to is an alt too.
If I knew about his alts, I sure as fuck wouldn't be telling people about them. Him having an alt afterwards doesn't really mitigate the loss of identity and connections that comes with having to do that, or the trauma of being jacketed like that. Some dipshit doing a bit pretending to be ziq shouldn't be able to mouth off about that without pushback.
Yeah I'm just saying we shouldn't be discouraging admins and mods from using alts to protect themselves. Ziq was doxed by kiwifarms, Beatnik by you know who, I think db0 got doxed too. It's much safer to use our mod/admin accounts for site operations and use alts to speak our mind so we don't get stalked by maniacs.
Really? I never heard that one before
It really came off to me as more of an attempt by rightwingers to troll CC
