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

Because your social skills are going to get even worse since you're "practicing" your social skills with a shitty AI that you'll have to spend more time unlearning. It's like how people who spend time curbstomping bots suck when they play against actual humans because they pick up habits that come from curbstomping bots.
Sorry, but this seems like a huge reach to me. It's not "practicing social skills", it's pure entertainment. Downtime in the same vein as watching youtube or netflix. That it will start to change how you interact with people in any significant way sounds pretty baseless.
Even in the analogy it doesn't work like that. In most games, someone who's spent 30 hours playing against bots and 0 against humans are gonna have a quicker time learning how to play against humans than someone who's spent 0 hours on both, despite the former having habits to unlearn. They're bad because they don't know how to play against humans, not because they played against bots.
