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

From now on a new rule is in place

~~Rule 8: The subject of a post must be highly visible, which means that it is either highly upvoted/liked/viewed, posted by a public figure or widely known of in society.~~

Reworded rule:

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.

c/the_dunk_tank should be about dunking on capitalist/reactionary ideas floating in society not about finding one idiot to get mad at, so the rule has been introduced to make sure that is the case

The purpose of this comm is literally to quarantine all of the "finding an idiot to get mad at" posts. This rule change is gonna make the rest of the site worse.

All the people addicted to dunking should be grateful really, we are enforcing a higher quality of dunks, they will no longer have to satisfy themselvels with the low quality stuff containing sulfates

You're enforcing twitter screenshots, the worst kind of post

No, we are actually forbidding screenshots of tweets made by 100 follower accounts

Containment boards never work.
