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
Tbf this is actually a good example to point to of how consensus is reached on Hexbear, for all the people who think we're bots or paid shills. And anyway, even when a consensus is reached, it won't stop you from using the term in real life if the mods decide to add it to the filter. I don't really have a problem with it, tbh.
Yeah I feel the way we arrive at a consensus is by debating it back and forth raising good points until suddenly some chud has an absolute meltdown and the whatever take caused them to have that meltdown is what we end up agreeing on as the objectively correct take.
And I fully agree with that process, at this point I'd be down to ban it as an insult even if for no other reason than to make chuds mad.
