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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

They will feel like it's unfair if we don't bow and scrape to their shitty, poorly thought out, opinions. That is not an 'us' problem. If they feel it's unfair, they should dogpile us. It should be easy, they have way more users than us. Except they can't, because our moderation team is actually good at what they do (arguably too good as in the beginning they were deleting stuff from very confused libs wandering through here rather than letting us shit on then).

Us posting doesn't cause them stress, their own community constantly complaining about us posting is what is causing them stress, which again, they will do regardless of what we post or how we post it. I'm not suggesting we go in and ppb and 'hog out' on every bad opinion, but we are allowed to express ourselves according to their rules. As I've said multiple times federation or de-federation doesn't matter to me, as in general I will not be leaving this instance, as there is very little point, but moral patronizing forum etiquette is incredibly reddit behavior. If you want to post there forever, make another account.

just trying to think about this strategically. Like, if we're gonna do federation, we should make a solid go of it. But yeah, ultimately it doesn't matter.

:meow-hug: best wishes

I've just been through this rigmarole before, so I generally don't see the need to bother with it. Thanks, though! You as well!
