Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
We are making a really good user experience here folks
experience deez nuts
So there's a type of post that people enjoy posting and engaging with, and a dedicated place to post that type of post. Then you make a rule that that type of post is no longer allowed in that dedicated place, so people naturally post it outside the dedicated place.
Just revert this shitty rule change and the "problem" will be solved
Noooo but I don't enjoy seeing those posts! I have better things to do!
This is an entirely predictable result of the addition of the bad rule 8 to the_dunk_tank
The purpose of this comm is literally to quarantine all of the "finding an idiot to get mad at" posts. This rule change is gonna make the rest of the site worse.
-ElGosso, 30 days ago on the dunk tank rule change post. Hm. Must be a psychic. Only explanation.
I called it too and asked for a quarantine zone for those kinda posts but was denied. LET US HAVE OUR SLOP
This conviction the mods seem to have that "[dunking on] super low-hanging fruit doesn't belong on this site, period" is weird and bad
Also "low hanging fruit" are posts not a lot of people have seen, while I guess the "high effort dunks" are posting whatever garbage Elon and jk have been up to because they have more views. Seems backwards to me :shrug-outta-hecks:
"I saw this and now you have to see this too" is not a good reason for posting. People don't need to see every bad take on the internet.
"I saw this, thought it was a funny bad take, and am now sharing with other people who will laugh at this fool" is usually my thought. I imagine the same is true for other dunk tank posters?
now you have to see this too
No one actually has to view the dunk tank. They can block it, scroll by, whatever. I scroll past a lot of posts. Hextube gets pinned all the time, but is of no relevance to me. Other comms I've blocked all together 🤷
not a good reason for posting
i didn't need a reason to keep posting
And the cousin of that one: “I got into an argument with a lib on Reddit so here’s our chain of single upvote comments, please tell I won the argument”
Yeah, but it should cool off after a while. I'm sure that now both comms are going after the low hanging fruit posts the posts will just wean off.
What is wrong with low hanging fruit anyway
It's not like making fun of reactionary losers is important work or anything
To whoever issued the recent couple of post removals for "dodging rule 8" you might want to specify they are dodging c/the_dunk_tank's rule 8 or that they are going against the intention of the pinned post on this comm, also bump
I support the mods 100% on this decision.
There is effectively an infinite supply of horrible people and horrible takes whereas your time and energy is limited.
I am somebody who lives in an almost constant state of rage and I think that this is the only normal reaction to the hellworld in which we currently live. But that's not a healthy way to live so I try to limit my exposure to the stuff that gives me psychic damage.
That's why I blocked the dunk tank - I enjoy dunking on bad people and bad takes as much as everyone but being exposed to a constant stream of that every day is not a great use of your time and energy.
Ah shit, this is about me.
We have better things to do with our time than give unearned attention, time and energy to low-follower-count nobodies yelling into the void.
No we don't.
I think a new sub should be made. I like the change, and I've appreciated the change in content from random weirdos to more high profile figures. However, random weirdos are funny sometimes, and for that reason I think there should be a sub called /lowhangingfruit or something specifically for it.
what I'm getting from this is that super low hanging fruit dunks are bad posts so if we had a place for those 🤔
