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 [email protected]

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

Nice, boomers are terrible with technology and will just think it's the website's problem. Unfortunately blocking it on their phones will be harder if they leave the house enough to figure out that they can turn off the wifi to get their sites back.

Definitely harder, but many cell companies now let you block domains online. Usually under like a child safety section. If you can't do that, ask them to let you use their phone for something and on iOS you can turn on the block porn domains and then add custom domains. If that doesn't work you can install something like adguard and just add the domains. Pretty sure Android has similar options and even more third party app options

If you really want to fuck with them you could semi randomize days and blocks of time when certain sites work. You could probably block whatever subdomain(s) twitter uses for video content so the website loads for them like 20% of the time and videos never load. Lots of potential for gaslighting diabolical shit here (but for good! I promise)
