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

Just like in general where you type something out, decide it’s probably not actually funny, and then delete it? I do it often, but I’m uniquely unfunny 💅

I just want you to know that I've spent way too long looking for photos of Lu Dort where he makes a facial expression similar to one of our owl emojis, and I haven't been remotely successful.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I used to but now that badposting exists I don't have to

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

we wipe up all the badposts and dump them in here so the rest of hexbear can have a nice clean goodpost instance. you're welcome

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Slaps roof of instance- this baby can hold a LOT of bad posts

if you make good posts you're a LIB

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

On the flip side- if you’re a lib- you’re incapable of making good posts thinking-about-it

sorry sweaty all my posts are important contributions to Marxist thought

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

all my posts are bad, but like, in the late 80s / early 90s sense where people were trying really hard to use "bad" to mean "cool"

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

That’s tubular

[–] babydriver@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Happy to help 😊

[–] depechemoses@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Way more since someone I was trying to riff with told me, "please don't talk to strangers that way."

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Not everyone is open to "Yes, and"

It's a goddamned shame

[–] depechemoses@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In his defense, my riff was pretty unpleasant

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Well, that's a little different

Takes some practice to pull stuff like that off and it usually involves knowing the recipient pretty well

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Someone’s gotta push the boundaries of art

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

To be a “yes and” person in a “no but” world humber

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Ack! They’re repressing your creativity! jokah-messy

[–] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Every time, and I wouldn't change a thing
