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

Nobody uses the word "woke" earnestly anymore. It's either the pejorative yer dad or uncle uses to refer to anything and everything they don't like (see previously; "politically correct" and "hippie"), or it's deployed facetiously making fun of anyone who uses it as a stop-gap to actually expressing what they mean. Frankly, I'm a little tired of it. I'd like to see it put in the ground where it belongs.

So, I say we shift the connotation one more step. Woke shouldn't just mean "this person has left(ish) politics I don't like". It should mean "this person makes politics their whole personality, left or right". Woke should mean someone who's very vocal about the political, without actually being politically active.

The woke chud suddenly cares about Charlie Kirk because he's in the news.

The woke liberal is outraged that the FBI director tried to paint the shooter as trans, but think democrats should step away from the messy trans messaging.

you get the idea, it's kinda like how back on the subreddit, we baffled and outraged a bunch of chuds by calling them :LIB:
