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
Still fucked up over the reveal that the rampant issue of targeted moderation based transphobic harassment was, in fact, not exaggerated or imagined by the tumblr userbase, and bad enough that even the CEO (as seen above) was forced to admit that a bad actor was given keys to tumblr moderation and used it to be extremely transphobic, for months, despite many users recording and reporting the moderation actions
and the CEO has stated that tumblr staff will prevent this from happening again by uhhh uhhhhhhhhh
it's wild that it was literally active transphobia by tumblr moderation! i'd assumed it was all passive stuff, them not caring that terfs had figured out how to abuse the system, but no! it was on purpose!
