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

I just almost made such a bad post that I deleted it before I posted it. It'll never see the light of day it was that bad

first of all, this is cowardly behavior

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

second of all its bad infosec.

if we know that you self censor posts you think are too cringe, we can infer that all the posts you do make are ones you believe are not cringe. this provides us with a psychological wedge.

for instance, take this post: They call him Big Pappa Poopin (6 upbears, 0 comments, 1 month old) - in fact everybody take a look.

...

Now just think what the enemy can do with this information.

That was the post that taught me that posts can be too bad to post

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

And why I won't post anything worse.

Today anyway

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

It was too bad though it would have started World War 4

[–] lurker_supreme@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

so this is not the worst post in the world, this is a tribute?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

You've understood it completely
