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 
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 
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.
I literally just made a joke, but go off I guess.
Your application of your political ideology to how you think the site should be run is incoherent enough that being facetious in that fashion doesn't work.
Maybe if you could articulate an actual reason that you've chosen one particular genre of hexbear post to bully people with your mod powers over, I would be more open to laughing at your jokes. As it stands, your communications here just sound lifeless and corporate and make it difficult to entertain any humor involved.
"The mods are bullying people." Hexbear gets so dramatic when faced with the prospect of doing something else with its time rather than scraping through and being dragged down by the absolute dregs of humanity.
Why do mods want to insert themselves into how I spend my time, and why do you care enough to express your support for that?
Because I think that dunk posts are actually kind of toxic in general. They're fine in moderation but so often they're "here's this horrible thing that I saw someone online do or say, and I'm going to post it here for everyone else to see, and we're all going to get depressed by it and use some of our finite emotional bandwidth for the day on it, despite the fact that we can't do anything about it."
Prime example: Just yesterday I learned on this site that people make (CW: zionazi demon shit)

Palestinian bombing montages to rock music
and it actually just straight up made my day worse. I didn't want or need to know that, it doesn't make my life better in any way, and now I have to just live with this disgusting and horrible fact.
If this rule prevents shit like that, I think it's a net good for everyone in a multitude of ways.
If you don't like the kinds of posts that the dunk tank are for then you can and should block that comm, not tell everyone else that no fun is allowed and threaten to ban them
Like I said, dunking is fine in moderation, but to quote someone else in the thread, I don't need to see every bad take on the internet.
then block the comm until you're in the mood to see bad takes and then unblock it until you're tired of seeing bad takes? do you want to ban posts about RTS games from !games@hexbear.net just because you don't want to hear about every game on the internet?
No, I'll just support this rule, thanks.
Wow, so brave!
