The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

Sometimes I miss the 2016 version of myself, where I would get a mild dopamine boost about funny jokes about the orange man, or seeing a celebrity endorse my favorite DNC war criminal - blissfully unaware of global politics, war, and genocide.

Any time I poke my head into r*ddit, all I see is astroturfing. I don't have an account and never have, nor do I look there regularly. Sometimes it's the only place to find information about movies and whatnot because it's easier to maintain a social media presence than an entire website. So I'll go peek at the horror sub, for example, and there's blatant astroturfing advertising shitty movies and shows. It's not even a large sub.

Some topics are more obvious, others have more artificial influences. But it's bots and shills all the way down.
