I thought y'all were gonna take it easy?

I had a real nice party with my friends. We all made guo tie (potstickers) together and talked into the night.
Repeating this comment that I deleted because I have OCD; which should have no bearing on the worth of what I'm saying. Just to avoid any confusion.
I'm not a big fan of the dunk culture, and I've expressed as much alongside my criticisms of this site's general misanthropy. But as I've watched this thread play out, I feel myself leaning much more strongly toward the users who are critical of this decision. You should listen to your userbase. It feels real fucked up to me to just proclaim that wanting to gnash our teeth at bad opinions is "white" or "cishet male" as a justification as if that means that being against this decision is bad a priori without actually dealing with the underlying contradiction of trying to make a more constructive space while still allowing people to vent their legitimate frustration. I have plenty of reasons why I don't like the culture of dunking and think it contributes to a negative environment that is unthinking. But this is not the way to address it. Give the people what they want: ~~Reggae Music~~ easy posting.
Look, Should dunking be moderated more aggressively to prune posts where it's just yelling at some nobody for having a bad take? Yes. Should we all strive to be more effective in our criticism of power and lay out why all the liberal justifications for de facto genocide? Yes. Should we just axe the whole thing that I don't even like to see here? No.
I volunteer to moderate a successor comm, for whatever that is worth. I'll make a matrix account and pledge to just watch out for "yelling at nobodies" or posting a take that happens to come from someone who is potentially considered cringe.
Love all of you anyway though.
Drawing some lady landsnkechte and going, "is this too many frills and bows?" and then looking at my reference to find that I need to include way more feathers.
because it is being used in the basketball sense, the dunk tank was just a pun.
The best time to do a confusing bit.
