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

We formerly had !neolib@lemm.ee before the dissolution of that instance but the free market has spoken, and demands return to Reddit
We need a comm for the people who responsibly acknowledge that not only is the status quo the best we can ever do, it's also an impossible ideal we have no choice but to compromise on. With Fascists.
We need a comm for the adults in the room who dream of a future that's merely somewhat worse than today, but are willing to compromise on that dream. With Fascists.
We need a comm for all the lemmitors in need of a lifeboat from the tankie dominion of lemmy world.

I'd request it as a bit, but I've already exhausted every joke about it I can think of and don't have the energy to commit to the bit.
Wait no I've got one more:
We need a unity ticket for 2028: Thatcher/Kirk. Say what you will about their past policies and scandals, it is inarguable that they've changed are much better now than they ever were before.

I agree, don't you just hate tankies like this one?
I’m surprised that sh.itjust.works isn’t growing faster. They also have a hefty hardware setup and seemingly the technical admins to handle big user counts. I wonder if it’s a branding problem, where lemmy.world sounds inviting and plausibly serious where sh.itjust.works sounds like clowntown even though it’s run by a capable and serious team.
(Unironically though, even in American terms, how is there any distance between "lemmy.world is too far left" and being some flavor of conservative/reactionary?)
Tankies living in the echo-chamber don't allow contrary opinions -_-
