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

Thanks for telling me the pronouns!
ty for editing the top comment
No problem.
I feel embarrassed getting the pronouns wrong when they're right there next to the name and I use "he" automatically sometimes.
So embarrassing and rude.
My bad, everyone.
No worries, I had to de-masculinize my language too, once I became aware of it. It's very normal to default to "he" when no gender is assumed. It doesn't get easier when my account name is a typical masculine name (I chose it as a reference, but now my avatar is changed).
It's very nice of you to be embarrassed about it, but you don't have to be, as long as you're doing your best ♥️
To be honest, I do use "they" more often now (compared to a year ago) because I was told that, if you don't know the gender, just use "they."
So I'm doubly embarrassed lol
But thanks! And my mistake, of course.
