Even with their thousands of users, the libs can't even harness a fraction of our power

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

OK, fuck, we need a new set of standards for intra-fediverse dunking. If we carry on as is, a lot of instances are gonna cut us off, justifying it with accusations of brigading and vote manipulation. Aaand... that's kinda a pretty valid reason.
Now, you might be thinking, "Well, they're gonna cut us off anyway, so what?" Yes. For some instances, they'll just be looking for an excuse to do what they wanted to do anyway. But. Some instances, that otherwise wouldn't, will probably follow suit with the good reason. We shouldn't just hand them that good reason. So, we need to be respectful and polite. How so? Well,
One. Don't link directly to arguments in the fediverse. Hexbear users should stumble upon them naturally or not at all. So…
B ...if you see a particularly dunk-worthy post, take a screenshot of it. You probably wanna check how your programme and/or operating system handles that and scrub any pesky meta-data out of it as need be. ~~While you’re at it,
COVER THE USERNAMES. Yours and theirs. Dunking is all well and good, but shaming makes hard feelings and resentment. We don’t want to shame our neighbors, we want to have a dialog with them.~~ edit: just be carefull about metadata, nevermind the other bitFrankly, I'm not sure we can be contained. Pandora's box is open.
