The purpose of this comm is literally to quarantine all of the “finding an idiot to get mad at” posts. This rule change is gonna make the rest of the site worse.

posting this thread to the dunk tank, brb

I like low level dunks because they are the kind I interact with offline too, and the responses and critiques are applicable to how I interact with those people or in those spaces.

Like if I see a common sinophobic trope being shopped around, then I get a good counter to it in the dunk tank, I can use it when a friend or whoever brings it up irl.

Higher profile people don’t necessarily truck in the same rhetoric as people thinking they’re posting in semi-anonymous online spaces. If the dunk tank is going to be useful, and serve as a useful venting space/containment zone, then putting some arbitrary cutoff of ‘oh a few hundred followers needed before we can drag this shithead’ is a counterproductive rule imo

Also I don’t care

Edit: i mean, I’m okay with your moderation decision. I understand what you’re going for, but I think what I’m trying to say is that personally i don’t see low hanging fruit as a problem. To me it’s cathartic to be like ‘check out this trasheap’ and have a few friends also lay in the boot, while I don’t post in this comm, I have like, one friend irl who I do share ragebait with when I come across it, it’s kinda like oh I haven’t messaged person x in a while, I’ll flick them this thing I saw and ask him what’s up, and if I didn’t, I’d probably share it here as an outlet?

Edit edit: also yeh the change has been made so not sure even why it’s worthwhile sharing my view on it now anyway. I’m sleepy night y’all

Well I’m going to be a splitter and start c/more_tankie_the_dunk_tank that allows any and all dunks to fight back against this woke hexbear mod overreach ^{this is a joke}
