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
From my estimates that subreddit is almost certainly not representative of UCSC. Police raid on the protest had like ~200 arrests, my roommate got arrested, suspended, and now can't take his finals, police are driving around campus constantly, and people are STILL going to the protest. There's ~20000 students, so that's about 1% of the entire student population arrested. And those were the most dedicated people camping there at like 3am when the police came. Estimate the percentage of the entire population that's pro-Palestine compared to the proportion of anti-Palestine posts on the subreddit. I would guess that people not from UCSC are posting a lot of those.
