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 think in a rational society if someone wanted to do something harmful to themselves - whether it’s fast to death, or use drugs, or whatever - then it could just be treated like we treat so many other dangerous activities. If you want to drive a car you have to take a test to prove that your competent. So I suppose if someone wanted to fast to death they could have an assessment by a psychologist or some kind of expert, to ensure they haven’t been brainwashed or groomed or whatever and understand what they are doing, and if they do, then let them do it. But if it’s some kid that has been raised by cultists that would be flagged and their application to starve to death would be denied
very little you can do about fasting to death as well. You would basically have to imprison and forcefeed them
just have to rely on the fact no major religion calls for it and people natively don't want to starve to death
