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 really think he knows this site’s culture at all. No one is dissuading people from reading theory lol

The "engage with anyone" behavior is a neutral quality imo. If he were particularly helpful in educating others of good positions in those interactions I would say it was a good thing but he brings a silly combination of positions and often picks stupid fights.

Re: his articles, he is... fairly wrong most of the time. I don't think he has the patience to read most commie things for comprehension but desperately wants to have a position on them, and share that position, and then defend it forever. [Edit: removed some things I couldn't find evidence for until I do find it]

Which ultra did he platform, do you remember the title of the article? Im curious. As far as "fairly wrong most of the time", that seems like a pretty harsh critique against someone who is fairly recognized on this website for producing good works on a number of subjects, could you share more specifically some examples of this wrongness? Personally, I like most of what I have read on redsails.

Can't find the platforming ultras thing so I'll edit my comment until I do

I’d also be curious which (most?) articles you considered fairly wrong. If it’s all the Twitter beef you posted yesterday, I put that cleanly in the 30% bad block
