badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

The best punishment for shitlibs is to be forced to interact with people just like themselves.

I feel icky calling him an "lolcow" since that's a term widely used by fash to bully neurodivergent people

Oh, sorry. I thought it was just someone who can't stop making a fool of themself and gets posted around. Like old Youtubers like Darksyde Phil.

It's a word Kiwi farms used interchangeably with about a half dozen slurs for neurodivergent people that get caught by our filter, so I can't specify them. Specifically, ND people who keep posting when they're being bullied, so they can be "milked for teh lulz".

It's gross. Don't use it.

Kiwi farms is another one of those that I've only ever heard about tenthand.

Well, their bullying, doxxing, and swatting campaigns have led to several documented suicides. A few mass shooters have cited Kiwi farms in their manifestos as inspiration, and the Christchurch shooter live streamed a shout out to the site as he was gunning people down.

That should tell you all you need to know about that community.

You could say "clown" or "goober" it's just that lolcow has a lot of bad baggage with it that's hurt some vulnerable people who didn't deserve it.

Much like Will Stancil himself, I only ever heard about it tenthand. I changed the title.
