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

Uh... but you did just mention the thing you're telling me not to mention.
I prefer indoor cats anyway.

With "don't be sectarian" I'm guessing you mean "don't start fights over the specific flavour of lefty"? By some definition, willingness to bash the fash would also be considered sectarian, hence the question.

bashing the fash is table stakes. we ban anything even tangentially pro-fash. don't be sectarian refers to useless inter-leftist infighting, which we don't allow.

the outdoor cats thing is a joke about the very first argument on the website that escalated into a full-blown struggle session (whether vegans stop being vegans if they own outdoor cats - I can't even pretend to understand the argument).

Good.

Uh... I think I can, but I'm scared to check the logic. Might fry a circuit or three.
