- Reminder: dunk posts go in /c/the_dunk_tank and /c/cth is NOT for low-hanging-fruit that's removed from dunk_tank
We've seen an uptick in people posting dunks in here that belong in dunk_tank, as well as low-hanging fruit that gets removed from or isn't allowed in dunk_tank anymore. For context, rule 8 of dunk_tank:
>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.
There's a reason that dunks are cordoned off to their own comm, some users rightfully don't want to see reactionary nonsense all the time, even if we're making fun of the person who said it. /c/cth is a general-purpose comm but it's NOT for posting some random nobody asshole twitter user's bad takes, the absolute best course of action to take when you see that stuff out in the wild is to either directly shit on them yourself, or ignore them and don't give them more attention.
From this point on I'm going to be more stringent about moderating this. I get it, it's fun to dunk on the libs and the blue checks and the !frothingfash and that's why we have a whole dedicated comm for that. Any post that's obviously meant to be "hey look at this piece of shit, let's laugh at how bad their opinions are, upbears to the left and emojis in chat" belongs in the_dunk_tank. And any super low-hanging fruit doesn't belong on this site, period (see TDT rule 8 above). We have better things to do with our time than give unearned attention, time and energy to low-follower-count nobodies yelling into the void.
Thanks for your discretion comrades, stay sicko !sicko-jammin
edit: as others have pointed out, /c/shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml is a good place for any and all dunking content not allowed here. Post that ragebait to our comrades at the 'grad, they'll make good use of it. Also, per rule 9 of TFT dunking on fediverse users is still explicitly allowed so it's still open season on those in our own backyard.
- [CW: suicidal ideation/self harm] PSA: Don't fucking suicide bait.
BeamBrain [he/him] @hexbear.net FeaturedThis is on my mind, since I had to temp-ban someone from c/vegan for it in the past week, and another example of it went unmoderated for hours after being reported in another community (though it was eventually dealt with).
It doesn't matter how much the person you're responding to deserves it. Odds are, they will not care. But you know who will care? Any comrades who happen to read the thread and who struggle with suicidal ideation and/or self harm. You could ruin their day. You could be the push that sends them over the edge. Even in the unlikely event that you cause grief to the person you're responding to, no amount of collateral damage is worth it.
Don't make suicide bait posts or comments. Don't upvote suicide bait posts or comments. Report and denounce them wherever they show up.

- The Most Ironic R/Truanon Post Ever
Fucking hand in your gumshoes and deboonker hats, stop pretending you're capable of parapolitical investigations right the hell now and go watch Seinfeld reruns (or Corner Gas reruns if you're Canadian) cause no one in that thread has any business looking into stuff anymore. I don't know if they failed The Belden Program or if the Belden Program failed them. For a hive of tinfoil hatred cranks, they seem to have missed a big one.

- I HAVE 100% PROOF THAT HEXBEAR IS A RUZZIAN BOT FARM
I actually arranged to meet a Hexbear IRL at the park and when we met he shook my hand and suddenly went BEEP BEEP BOOP and I looked at his hand and it was a steel ROBOT HAND and then he was like check this shit out and he took his clothes off and ran around the park NAKED WITH HIS ROBOT BEANIS FLOPPING EVERYWHERE except it didn't flop because it was a HARD METAL ROD BEFITTING A ROBOT.
But then he disintegrated because those BARBARIC RUZZIANS built their bots out of rusty old shovels.
