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

Hmm what I had in mind was more like dunk_tank but for wikipedia and somehow teaching the group how to get edits through wikipedia and tactics on how to navigate it all properly. One thing that's missing is obviously that everyone here is highly experienced at reddit-style engagement so dunk_tank works for that, but there's probably very little skill in wikipedia.

In essence the aim would be to build a community of people that are good at this.

Ok, wikipedia shitposters to regularly sabotage it in subtle ways. I can support this, not as praxis but as a good bit
