A post from a petit bourgeoisie business owner asking how to protect himself from cancel culture showed up in my feed and I am vibrating with the desire to dunk but I don’t want to break our rules if we’re supposed to be nice to other instances.

Edit: link because I’m not a lib

If we really are getting the /r/CTH mojo back then yes absolutely. In my mind the no posting other users rule is to prevent infighting and promote left unity. Dunking on chuds is not that. Hell we used to user ping other redditors to summon them for in person dunks. That’s how the legendary hog out nazi was born actually. He got @'d into becoming a legend

It was a really sad day when the reddit admins decided r/CTH was no longer allowed to ping.

They just slowly chipped away at the sub by removing features, replacing nearly the entire mod team, quarantining, etc. It says a lot that even after all that, they were still so afraid of the subreddit that they finally resorted to banning the empty husk of r/the_donald as a “both sides” excuse to also ban r/CTH.

It was so funny when they’d take the bait and then just get brutalized for a few hours

Do it catholic style: Ask forgiveness not permission.

As a Catholic priest (of my own renegade splinter branch of the church so I don’t have to pay taxes), this is both ethically and morally correct

God I hope so. If not, what will we do when reddit and twitter both die?! (Hopefully they actually do actually die)

It’s pretty safe to say Twitter is dead, right?

It is making death throws at least

The important rule is that we obey the rules of other instances / communities when engaging with them. We can post their cringe here as long as it doesn’t turn into a problem elsewhere on the network.

Disclaimer: I do not moderate the_dunk_tank and this is not official the_dunk_tank policy.

I do moderate the tank and this seems reasonable to me

Seems reasonable for now, but imo consider changing policy in the future if there’s some sort of blowback that we aren’t considering for some reason
