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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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
Especially the Italian kind. Eastern Europe is a late career safe haven for washed up or B-List italo-disco musicians like Francesco Napoli. It also applies to bands like Modern Talking.
In general, the amount of restrictions on western music "being banned" is more a case of official releases (vinyls, cassettes) of bands being hard to come by and those that did, usually did so for the fans at a loss (such as the Depeche Mode concerts in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and the GDR during the 1984-1985 Some Great Reward and 1987-1988 Music for the Masses tours) due to for example eastern currencies being worthless in the west.
Western music was played in the radio in at least the GDR (recording from September 1989), (exhibit 2, from 1976) and Poland (recording from January 1985), (exhibit 2, reggae special from 1989) - I can't speak about other countries, since I can only speak German and Polish well out of all the Eastern Bloc states' languages.
