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

MODERATORS
It gives up one form of control but exchanges it for another. The flock of middle managers don't get to pop in and watch 20 people to make sure they're at their desks and look at their screens and give pointless little instructions for everyone else to see and haggle about the coffee maker, sure. But remote workers can also barely communicate with one another without using official, recordable company resources. This is a boon to office job union busters, they can just search for "union" in their Slack instance's private messages and channels and fire the troublemakers.
I'd like to toss an explanation on top of real estate interests and wanting control: CEOs are petty, megalomaniacal idiots that work against their own interests on a regular basis and are constantly rewarded for it by the bureaucratic structure of the company.
