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

Duel income, like challenging people to one on one combat for money? Checks out.
Roll a d6 for slush fund
One of the tech mages comes to imply that halflings, by nature have too many offspring, and inquire if you’ve considered a side hustle

Oath of the Common Man subclass for Paladin. Would recommend for anyone playing a 5e campaign. Some nice art with it too. (Ignore that this person also made an "Oath of Commerce" subclass to balance both sides)
I would so play a role-playing game like that. But then, I do love in general the trope of Marxist-Leninist ideas introduced to pre-industrial fantasy settings... (Are you wearing a red coat because you're a communist, or are you with the King's Army?)
All power to the guilds.
Certainly a good analogue for workers' councils at that time period, and slogans don't have to be ideologically perfect, just good enough and snappy, I like it.
(Also, I'm a fan of basically any slogan derived from "all power to the Soviets", there's a reason I call myself a Leninist around comrades and a "revolutionary social democrat" when I need to be more circumspect. So yeah, I tend to be biased in favour of slogans that maybe aren't ideologically perfect, if they derive from old Bolshevik ones.)
That is a pretty funny comic. Also smarter than my joke. I'm okay with that but I feel like I need to add something original:
Trot to oathbreaker paladin pipeline
Is this anything, I haven't played D&D
No, I like the DnD angle. Let's add Kant and de Beauvoir to the party.
I mean, perhaps Trotsky and all of the Bolsheviks as a DnD party, that'd be fun. Throw in that comic's characterization of Marx as well, he'll just try to have the party organise a communist revolution every dang session, but I doubt the Bolsheviks will be opposed to that. Though one wonders who would make a good DM for that party...
(Also, there's a good Bolshevik Party pun in there.)
What would Marx's or Lenin's take be on magical bloodlines of heroes and stuff like that? 
organizing the peasants into forming a peasant railgun so we can send the king into space alongside his castle
never getting invited back to game night ever again
A party based on adventurism, you say?
