From now on a new rule is in place

Rule 8: The subject of a post must be highly visible, which means that it is either highly upvoted/liked/viewed, posted by a public figure or widely known of in society.

Reworded rule:

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.

c/the_dunk_tank should be about dunking on capitalist/reactionary ideas floating in society not about finding one idiot to get mad at, so the rule has been introduced to make sure that is the case

    Apologies, "making up a guy to get mad at" is an expression based on an old dril post. I don't necessarily mean it literally, but there have been a number of posts in the past where users have shared satire accounts and fairly obvious bait. These and posts about truly weird takes that are vanishingly rare to the point of not being a real take that is held by a group of people are what I meant by that.

    The rule change is 50/50 a clarification on why some posts have been locked or removed, and a goal to shoot for, in order to reduce the need for removing posts in the future.
