A post from a petit bourgeoisie business owner asking how to protect himself from cancel culture showed up in my feed and I am vibrating with the desire to dunk but I don't want to break our rules if we're supposed to be nice to other instances.

Edit: link because I'm not a lib

If we really are getting the /r/CTH mojo back then yes absolutely. In my mind the no posting other users rule is to prevent infighting and promote left unity. Dunking on chuds is not that. Hell we used to user ping other redditors to summon them for in person dunks. That's how the legendary hog out nazi was born actually. He got @'d into becoming a legend

It was a really sad day when the reddit admins decided r/CTH was no longer allowed to ping.

They just slowly chipped away at the sub by removing features, replacing nearly the entire mod team, quarantining, etc. It says a lot that even after all that, they were still so afraid of the subreddit that they finally resorted to banning the empty husk of r/the_donald as a "both sides" excuse to also ban r/CTH.

It was so funny when they'd take the bait and then just get brutalized for a few hours

Do it catholic style: Ask forgiveness not permission.

As a Catholic priest (of my own renegade splinter branch of the church so I don't have to pay taxes), this is both ethically and morally correct

God I hope so. If not, what will we do when reddit and twitter both die?! (Hopefully they actually do actually die)

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

It's pretty safe to say Twitter is dead, right?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

It is making death throws at least

We really do have an emote for everything

The important rule is that we obey the rules of other instances / communities when engaging with them. We can post their cringe here as long as it doesn't turn into a problem elsewhere on the network.

Disclaimer: I do not moderate the_dunk_tank and this is not official the_dunk_tank policy.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

I do moderate the tank and this seems reasonable to me

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Seems reasonable for now, but imo consider changing policy in the future if there's some sort of blowback that we aren't considering for some reason

sicko-crowd We're waiting

I think the protocol could be something like post the link in the dunk tank here, and we try to contain the most abrasive dunks here. We can still go interact on the other thread, but we should recognize not to be overly abrasive over there.

So basically:

Play the home court advantage

Recognize the away game situation

Just spitballing here.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

The game plan is to bait them here with light dunks there

We don't need to be nice to other instances, but we need to follow their rules to maintain the standing of our own instance. Getting blacklisted for aggressive brigading would be repeating a mistake of the past

The mistake was inviting a basis for a ban, not some deontological failing of the act itself. Luckily there are mostly looser rules in that regard on most instances for now.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

We have nothing to lose, the whole point of us federating was to beat lib instances into submission

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

It will fail if we just fragment the fediverse and get the communists segregated to a bubble

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but we're still early days. We have to be aggressive early on otherwise the libs will just win out by default.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

My understanding was that we were expected to abide by the rules of other instances when engaging in those instances, but that ripping on them in our space was fair game.

This seems like a question to ask in the dunk tank
