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

Stop using words you don't understand. It is not 'projecting' to point out you doing bad-faith posting. The forum rules are that if you want me to disengage all you have to do is post under me 'Disengage'. That is it. If you include any other bullshit, especially insults, that is not considered acceptable, you are just abusing the rules of disengagement to get the last word it. This has been the rule on most forum posting for fucking forever.

'Rage-bait' is specifically a term used to describe posting that is meant to drive engagement for advertising models. I have a buddy who specifically makes rage bait around NFL content. It specifically describes that behavior. It is not 'getting mad or making fun of shit online', because that is literally just the Internet, especially forum posting since it's inception. Back in the day, we would catchall of that with 'trolling'.

Why should I care if you want to stop my 'toxic habits'? How does you wanting to stop those habits have any relevance on the conversation? Listen to yourself, you are talking as if you have any power to stop me even if you did care. Your care, in that regard, is completely irrelevant. A weird power-trip.

Being autistic is not a reason. It's deferring your reasoning onto your neuro-divergency. We aren't slandering you. Someone calling that person a tankie for some dumb shit happened! And even if we did slander you, what would you coming along to 'correct the record' do, especially if you come in with the assumption that we are all 'toxic posters who circle jerk at rage-bait'? How is coming along in bad-faith helpful to you having a reasonable discussion with us?
