badposting
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:
- 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
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- 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

Okay, but I think misrepresenting how, say, forensic technology works is more likely to have more immediate negative impacts on society than how a warp drive works. I'm far more likely to interact with the former than the latter.
This is totally fair but the sci-fi props aren't just potatoes in a sack. They are part of a cohesive whole that is unified with an ideological, meta-narratory paste. The warp drive isn't just a warp drive, it's a symbol of the capacity of future technology to bridge space and time: will it be used to bring all intelligent life together? Will it be used as a tool of space-faring imperialism? These considerations inform how the narrative goes on to shape reality when it is consumed as mass media.
