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
I've met a bunch of my city's councillors and the self importance is an immediate giveaway for the ones that just see it as a stepping stone to "real" (well paid) politics. Used to be a solid Labour contingent that were in it for the people, but since fucking Kier took they've been unceremoniously deselected in favour of nepo babies.
Yeah, it's definitely even worse now on thr Labour side, but this was also multiple people from multiple parties over the last 20 years or so. Totally agree about councillors with that attitude in particular. It seems even more pathetic these days since so few MP selections actually come from councillors with a track record and are rather parachuted in as mates of party bourgeoisie.
