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
Once you actually defend and argue for the continuation of the Overton window "the Overton window" should be what you get thrown out of from at minimum a third story.
Overton defender defenestration
the overton window is a descriptive category isn't it?
The idea behind it is you limit the extents of the terms of debate.
It's why we get vigorous debate about the difference between blue Maga and red Maga to the point its the personal ifentity of like 30% of the country but if you suggest socialized Healthcare your a communist who isn't to be taken seriously.
The idea is this window keeps shifting right turning the debate into whether or not we throw minorities under the bus to appeal to racist whites and now suggesting that immigrants aren't the biggest threat the United States faces is now the ridiculous loony lefty position.
