Per @CARCOSA@hexbear.net's suggestion in the thread announcing the closure of the tank comms I am suggesting a replacement comm

The concept of the comm is that it would be exactly the same as the_dunk_tank but without the unfortunate racist connotations of the name. Also, the name actually describes the content that is intended for it. Not sure why we made it any more complicated than that in the first place. Also, you can post things like articles from The Atlantic, which are also notable, and not just stuff about famous people.

Also, we should just go ahead and unlock Dredge_Tank

We need our fun little space to talk shit about reactionaries and bond over making fun of them. I like the Dunk Court and the Dunk Pit myself; I always thought the way we used dunking here had more to do with basketball so “the dunk tank” never clicked as the carnival game with its racist baggage in my mind. Mods stop being silly
