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
Yeah, I think that treatment should be the standard response to any instances with shitty anti-communist mods/admins but that still have at least some contingent of cool users. I think midwest.social fits that category. But yes, doing that is not only the funniest move, as we learned with db0, it's like getting the best of both worlds. If the general users of an instance start getting regularly abusive, especially towards more vulnerable groups, that's when it's time to consider the full defed option imo. Fortunately, I don't think we've had an issue with that on the scale of an entire instance since, what... blajah and shitjustworks?
