  I think about this eye hook scene every time I see a political post in this comm. It’s absolutely self defeating to post political content in every single comm. It just pushes people away, causing them to disengage. And that should be obvious. The people who post this stuff are out of touch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proper British Passive Aggressiveness⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not a shitpost, it’s literally just news. Why do people upvote this shit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SBA #49⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The stretched aspect ratio is a nice touch! You are such a boon to this comm : )

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a shitpost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s surreal to think about how genuinely good Facebook used to be, before they added the algorithm. It made our social lives better instead of replacing them. You could go on Facebook to peruse events in your area, having an idea of who would be there before you went.

  Fair enough. I don’t agree with a lot of what you said, but I also didn’t report your post because it feels like maybe it lands in a grey area and perhaps my judgment on this is biased.

  As for rule 2, I think the entire point of this rule is that there isn’t a “main” shower thought separate from anything else. The title is the shower thought, and that’s supposed to be the entire post. It seems like people break this rule constantly, but since it’s mostly harmless they’re allowed to do so. I just felt the need to say something.

  This idea of “everything is political” is something I vehemently disagree with, and I think people who use this are frequently being disingenuous. They want to break the rules and this argument allows them to do so, and I’ve seen this argument used with blatantly political posts before (I’m not saying yours is blatantly political).

  But I also think that sometimes current events are inherently political, or at least they are seen that way, and it seems absurd to stop people from talking about things that are happening in our world every day. I’m torn on this one.

  It’s amazing how so many people blatantly break the rules of this comm. I’d say it’s most posters.

  This breaks rules 2 and 3.

  I’m a man and I also choose the bear. I frequently go backpacking and would absolutely prefer to come across a bear in the woods than a random man.

  Does despising my gender make me realistic or does it make me a misandrist? Maybe it’s both. Maybe being a misandrist and being a realist are the same fucking thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pls⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not true at all. The mods did nothing, as usual. It was people who post here that were posting the corn because they’re sick of the politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The reason why the US president loves McDonald's so much is simply because he's a world-class narcissist and it sounds like it's named after him. That's it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This post breaks rule 3, please report it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. This comm is terrible and the mods are useless. They either don’t care or have no idea what a shitpost is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  vger.to/lemmy.world/post/43731140

  This poster posts actual shitposts. I only had to scroll through this broken comm for 5 fucking seconds to find an actual shitpost with no agenda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bullshit. Fucking bullshit. A genuine shitpost has no agenda other than silly humor. You don’t know what a shitpost is any more than these useless mods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only through apathy. If the mods did their fucking jobs and actually made a rule against political posts, and then enforced that rule, we wouldn’t have this problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How is this a shitpost? Politicalmemes exists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brian Jopek (@BrianJopek@mastodon.world)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a shitpost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What brings you peace in your life?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a shitpost. This comm basically has no rules and no moderation whatsoever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. I was eating at a restaurant with my mom a few years ago and she accidentally inhaled a piece of food which had the same diameter as her esophagus. It was terrifying. She just pointed at her throat and had this look on her face like she knew she was going to die. She stood up, turned around, and I did what I thought was the heimlich maneuver. I must’ve done it right, or got lucky, but it worked flawlessly. The food came flying out. I guess we’re in that 59%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Birthday ruined⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a shitpost. The political slop in this comm get more upvotes than actual shitposts. I fucking hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do they only ever "sensationalize" news when it helps the Nazis!?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since the memes community has banned political posts it all gets funneled into here. I hate it so fucking much. It’s like those eye hooks from A Clockwork Orange and we’re being forced to consume political posts wherever we go.

  “Oh, was that a silly, non-political thought you just had? NOT ALLOWED ON LEMMY.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We live in the future!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …motherfuckers are upvoting a crosspost from POLITICALMEMES in what is supposed to be a shitposting community. Y’all are fucking masochists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Celebrate, brothers and sisters!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? Let me try: shut the fucking fuck up about the fucking censorship. Almost every single comment in this fucking thread is about the little fucking line on one fucking word. Fuuuuuuck.

  You were right!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Celebrate, brothers and sisters!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well played. No repetitive complaints about the censorship, just a no-nonsense solution.

  I’ve almost completely stopped bothering to look at the comments on posts with this kind of censorship. Every single fucking comment is about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Programming socks?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the first step is upvoting it. I’m not sure what the second step is, but just go ahead and start on step one until step two is clearly defined.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discrimination⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to live in a small Wisconsin town with a tweaker problem. They’re incredibly destructive (and potentially violent) people who absolutely cannot be trusted. While it’s a little silly to put up a sign like this, I do understand the sentiment.

  It’s really bizarre that the fentanyl epidemic had one silver lining: it replaced meth as the cheapest drug on the streets. Fentanyl addicts are sooooo much easier to deal with than tweakers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U r acceptable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A holiday so shitty it even ruins Lemmy for the day. Every single comm is posting shit about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Genes be crazy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People complaining about the censorship is significantly more annoying than the actual tiny little blue on one single letter in one single word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I play Guild Wars 2, and I’m worried if I bought an OLED I would end up with the UI permanently burned in. The technology just doesn’t seem compatible with games that feature a persistent UI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes being tight is not a good thing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your comment in all caps was more offensive to my eyes than a little red squiggle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix Becomes Max-Level Patron Of Blender's Development Fund⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a conflicted view of Netflix. They’re a classic big American corporation and come with all the bullshit that entails, but at the same time they do occasionally do some cool things.

  Like releasing queer content despite the backlash from the right. They released that “gay boot camp” series recently and it absolutely enraged right wing bigots. This thing with blender is another example.

  I am very nervous about their Warner Brothers purchase and am hoping they prove to be responsible owners of all those IP’s. It seems quite unlikely, though. There are so few American corporations who aren’t shitty.
