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

I don't know how it is where you are but here in Britain the cops show up at your door and threaten to arrest you if you seem like the type of person who would organise a vigil after a cop kidnaps, rapes, and murders a young woman. Also they "warn" businesses hosting your anti-oil meetings that you might be a group of dangerous terrorists making illegal plans. They also ask social workers and nurses to let them know about people expressing sympathies for groups like Stop the War or the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

Maybe you live in less of a police state though.
