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

MODERATORS
In that top-level post the OP says it's a photoshop they made. In the subtext link, I like that Hexbear is pretty resilient against the tactics mentioned. We consistently sniff out wreckers/adventurists/judas goats. When one reveals themselves, there's no community effort to rally behind them.
I mean if someone gets banned as a wrecker and they weren't actually trying to be one, they can just make a new account and be less terrible. If they're capable of doing so.
There was this beautiful moment where FBI agents complained that it was hard to infiltrate anarchist groups because they couldn't bribe anyone and had to read theory. I think it's that latter part that makes coming back near-impossible for actual wreckers. If it's just someone with one bad opinion they can correct that, but even if someone hasn't actually read theory there's a bar for having that worldview. Then within that bar there's an overton window of what a revolutionary socialist would say and what a LARPer would say and it's ontologically clouded by their actual worldview. There have been somewhat successful splits like we had over veganism, but I don't think we would ever have the problems that a community like /r/antiwork has the same way /r/chapotraphouse didn't. Our whole subculture is bullying bullies and bullshitters.
Got a link for those FBI complainers? I wish to see 
bitching about reading theory
Be sure to show this to an ML next time one of them says anarchists are easily manipulated by feds.
Absolutely, LEO could never infiltrate checks notes the Weather Underground

I don’t know how I never knew of Raddle until now, while Voat I remember clearly.
yeah I only remember sussing voat and ruqqus, this is news to me lol
If you regularly have to make content joking about how you're totally-not-feds because other people call you feds all the time something is extremely wrong and it makes you deeply deeply suspicious to me.
