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

Apparently instances can actually defed themselves and it immediately fucks everything up and the entire site dies instantly basically

oh damn really? do you remember where you saw that I'd love to know what the fuck happened lol

I saw a mastodon instance admin mention it in passing but idk if it carries over to Lemmy or if its ever happened to any notable instances

Do we still have that test instance lying around? I want to see some fireworks.

https://test.hexbear.net/ is still around, hasn’t been updated with a new test version or anything.
