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

This is about the word habibi lol. Basically like malding over a "who's invited to the cookout" tier list.

Sabara funds the IOF directly.

As a bonus, this is an example of the type of things this islamphobic loser has tweeted before.

there's a few sites that can make temp throwaways that have an inbox but disappear after you close the page might work. I forget the names. But it's also possible sites can flag those websites to not allow verification emails out to them (or target the account)

Is there an op sec reason why you would do this instead of making a bullshit free gmail or other email account?

It's less about concrete facts I know, just my inclination about it for single-time-use email, the value of one vs the other. And I can't vouch for any specific temp email site (as I said I don't even remember ones I used in the past); but if I know I will never have to revisit or don't want to, I'm less likely to remember the info to delete it from one of the constant-account big sites. I prefer the idea of temp accounts then going into the ether than having remnants floating out there with all its associated services (which can often be themselves signed up for with a separate throwaway anyway if one wants). Especially with the biggest intelligence behemoths and monopolies; who knows what cross-site cookies or contemporary IP or timing overlaps or combined telemetrics get associated into collation in the Utah data center file.

But there is also the "you-shaped-hole in the data" problem too that might theoretically benefit from disjointed spam creation in the services if you do use them regularly for other things (again I have no idea, not a thing I bother with), as well as there is theoretically a double edged sword of too-decentralized uses creating more unique inputs. So who knows. It's just easier and for me feels like less things to think or worry about for a 1-and-done if I know I never have to revisit, and there will need to be more scattered hoops to jump through to pull the inputs to string things together. But this is general low level use cases like the person I was replying to. If objective rigorousness of opsec were a gravely serious concern with something someone was doing one should take it offline in general.
