  • An addendum to my previous comment from the other thread: We’ve seen from the various name changes to Main recently that it is possible to simply edit/change the name of a comm while leaving the comm itself intact. I’d vote to simply reopen/rename dunk tank, remove rule 8 and add one in it’s place banning posts about other Lemmy users if necessary. Those 2 or 3 relatively quick and simple changes would resolve just about everything I think.


  • I’ll throw in my two cents I guess: I really like the idea someone mentioned of “c/the_trough” or something of the like where it’s basically just the original version of dunk tank with a different name: A single all-purpose community for dunking, mocking or whatever you want to call it.

    To put it simply: Making fun of shitheads is funny, and something the majority of people here, including myself, enjoy. Does it achieve any higher purpose? No, and it doesn’t have to. It’s just a nice way to let off steam in a world where we’re otherwise basically powerless. Rule 8 really isn’t worth all this that it’s wrought.

    If this is about avoiding drama with other instances, maybe a rule could be “no posts about Lemmy users” and keep it to public figures and people on other non-Lemmy social media such as, of course, Twitter.
