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

Honestly I find it weird how many people seem to be angry at the goofier content here. This place began as a community for leftists who like crass and vulgar humor. If you wanna argue this place has/should evolve past that, fine I guess, but that is what it was began as and we should acknowledge that.

I still can't believe the mods haven't banned everybody except for me, the only one on the site who isn't a liberal, yet.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

obviously the mods are liberals too

Actually I am the only one who isn't a liberal.

c/bad being a containment comm too is like yeh, you can block it same as c/fakenews or c/slop. I feel upset when people complain about their being too much beanis posting when I keep 90% of it to within this comm and the occasional beanis comment outside of it. I just want to make my favourite people have a little chuckle and brighten their day if I can. I'm not cut out for effort posting or theory posting doggirl-gloom

Don't worry. Virtually everybody crying about beanis posting aren't cut out for effort posting or theory posting either.

You brighten my day all the time!

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Thank you, that means a lot

Beanis posting must be strictly controlled and rationed. Otherwise Hexbear could see a Beanis shortage in times of emergency. beanis

There are only three things of unlimited supply in this harsh and unforgiving universe.

Love.

Hate.

And benis.

Seems like some people still don’t realize that you cannot change shit with the internet.

In a hypothetical world where hexbear changed into a direct-action comm and conducted on-the-ground activities and had a presence in all of the states, I guarantee that we would have eyes on us immediately and/or this place would be shut down

That nerd who got pissy over you and me posting memes and general shitposting is still so good. If you were a true soros dirt_owl head you know we also serious post too. smdh fake fans, fake gamer girls.

I am eventually going to make an effort post that will start a struggle session about how just because YOU don't understand something or want to participate in something doesn't mean that something is wrong or bad.

Nearly everyone is guilty of this. I bet most of you could dig deep and find one thing you really think is harmful for the sole reason of "I seriously don't understand that". I know I'm guilty of it too.

Real harmful things are harmful and should be called out.

"I don't like that because I don't understand it" is not and should not.

Someday. We aren't ready for that struggle session yet. So don't start it until I'm good and ready because that effort post is on my list

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Looking forward to it o7

I think we've overcorrected from the whole "let people enjoy things" thing.

"we gotta get more racist"

Oops this was meant for the redditslop post

[–] P1d40n3@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Hexbear believes in direct posting. It gets the goods!

I became alive once more. At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha, a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause. I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business, I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from conventions and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to became a nun and that the movement should not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it. “I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody’s right to beautiful, radiant things.” Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world — prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own closest comrades I would live my beautiful ideal.

Everyone who complains about /c/badposting not being serious enough hasn't contribute shit to Hexbear either. I don't see them in any of the book clubs or in the more serious corners of the website. They haven't even written a serious effort post before outside of maybe some incoherent rant about some slop they like/dislike, but expect the rest of us to put in the hours to write effort posts and serve to them on a silver platter. I don't see them in the Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism book club where you can't get more super duper "Hexbear is a revolutionary org where fun is bourgeois" serious than this outside of the Capital book club, which they also aren't a part of either.

Is PSB not serious?

I assumed it very much was. The only difference between this and puppies is that the puppies have Sarah McLachlan.

I keep sending her PSB pics in the mail, but I've gotten no response. I can only assume that developing a new commercial takes time.
