s a race to the bottom for whoever can dredge the dumbest and most incoherent takes riddled with slurs on the Steam forums or whatever garbage hole.
Is this what the dunk tank was before rule 8? Is that typically the kind of content removed under rule 8? Or is it just normal dunk tank content which would be allowed if the number next to the text was higher? Be honest.
Yes, absolutely. Dunk tank content removed under rule 8 (and even before it was formalised) is always some random irrelevant take posted by a nobody with no platform, of which there are literally hundreds of millions on the internet. I think the most notable posting we’ve ever even had to actually think about whether rule 8 applies is some small time twitch streamer with under 1000 followers who posted something racist on twitter.
The goal of rule 8 is and has always been to limit the absolute dogshit takes that random bluesky accounts nobody’s heard of, shitty YouTube commenters, or bad Facebook posts made by some random guy you used to work with 5 years ago.
The intention is to allow for the picking apart of posts made by people with a reasonably large platform or even vague association with the levers of power, without having to wade an endless supply of boring bad takes from nobodies in order to find something worth dunking on.
The rule has been explained multiple times, your disagreement with the rule does not make it unclear.
We are literally just wasting time by shitposting on the internet. I don’t see why we need to have any sort of standards at all. This is just mods being busybodies for the sake of being busybodies.
the_dunk_tank becomes a hell-hole of slop? Great, let the piggies feed. There are like 1000 active users on this site, it’ll be fine.
hexbears will critique american’s shit taste in movies and then beg for the same kind of worthless slop for their hexbear feeds
The slop trough is open right now at /c/shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
I encourage you and everyone else disappointed by rule 8 to subscribe there.

Why exactly does posting have to be praxis and how is making fun of an Elon Musk tweet praxis, im begging you to explain this
It’s not about being praxis; it’s about the quality of content.
And it’s also about not spending all your time finding every last person who said something that sucks. It’s not healthy to do that shit.
Posting isn’t praxis, nor does it need to be. You can quit JAQing off and “begging for an explanation” now.
It’s pretty clear at this point that no amount of explanation is going to be sufficient for you given the way you’ve continued to antagonize both moderators and everyone else who has tried to clarify the situation to you in this and previous threads.
No but it’s what shitreactionariessay seems to be. I acknowledge that here:
shitreactionariessay: no harsh to whoever runs it, but the comm is just a deluge of crap.
and here:
To be very fair, I don’t see a lot of utter garbage get removed under Rule 8, this is not to accuse anybody of poor posting.
I’m not in love with people asking me questions answered by the comment they’re replying to. Kind of silly having to quote Myself, 10 Minutes Ago.
No
Right, exactly. The questions were not a request for information but a demonstration of the facts so we can be on the same page. The dunk tank has never been garbage like the lemmygrad comm. This is because hexbear users are better posters than lemmygrad users and why I don’t want to go use lemmygrad instead of hexbear. If they implemented rule 8 on lemmygrad it would not make the posts better.
Woah, is that lemmy sectarianism? I wouldn’t pass judgement on all lemmygrad users that way.
Anyway here is a useless lawyer who is basically a nobody, here is a nobody bluesky user, here is a bunch of random tumblr replies. Since you seem to demand evidence that rule 8 is required. These are nobodies, not good posts. I happen to think Rule 8 would improve shitreactionariessay dramatically, Rule 8 aside they are the same comm.
Well, I don’t think so and the person I was talking to doesn’t think so, so it doesn’t seem unreasonable to me to discuss the situation from that perspective.
