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

wasn't it based on lgbt flag?

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

But what if the lgbt colors had been coopted by annoying, druidic leftists for their insidious posting* ritual? Would we be able to tell if we were being prejudiced against the LGBT or if we were railing against this forum entity? What if someone argued as much in bad faith?

Yeah I'm not stepping foot in the struggle sesh over the zionist flag burning meme isntrael I always tend to avoid fighting on here.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

Is it even a struggle sesh? This is just a firin' squad o'er here.

Crosspost to emojis maybe?

[–] LangleyDominos@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I don't know how to crosspost so I'm taking your comment as an insult to my intelligence.

[–] Ithorian@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The layered squares next to the star

[–] Imnecomrade@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does Jerboa let you crosspost? That could be why it is difficult to find.

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

Not that I'm aware of. I've always had to use the web for it.

Just allow users to add the "-cool" suffix to any existing emote to post a burning variant of it so everyone can pick their own favorite struggle session :sicko-yes-cool:

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

I was going to post :aus-delenda-est-cool: because the flames are too big, but the mods and admins fixed the emote, thereby ruining my bit.

Another example of mod and admin overreach.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

if we're going that we could do -party/rave to make it rainbow and then you could do any LGBT suffix for static colors.

I don't know if the emoji picker could do it natively, but you could make a bot that overlays a transparent flame PNG over arbitrary images

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

Bit idea: Make this the only cool emoji

[–] VapeNoir@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago
