i don't like the idea of any kind of space built on pure irony/sarcasm because it always devolves into earnestness by people who don't catch the joke, or people who want to hide something insidious within the irony
maybe our beautiful mods could have handled it before it got too out of control, but I'm still just not into it

Idk if that's totally true, I've seen ironic spaces that manage to keep things under control, the main factors seem to be if the community was founded by people who were genuinely there for ironic play or by people looking to hide their actual opinions, and if the mod team is vigilant in chasing off people who show up who clearly aren't there for the humor.
Our community is also pretty insular and doesn't really much diversity in terms of political opinion so idk if actual Chuds stumbling in to participate is that much of a risk
We will reform the Anti Union comm, and a bot will post long winded pro union theory and a debate on the nature of comedy automatically under every comment
why do so many people here hate fun
i think too many of you are afraid of having your smarty pants card revoked for believing a lie on the internet. it's not that big a deal.
It wouldn't be a big deal if any of the posts were actually funny.
It is a big fucking deal. I worked harder than a union man (very low bar) to get my smarty pants card and I'm not going to have it taken from me
What's wrong with making a new account everytime you're wrong?

Mostly, but I'm the One True Leftist.

yeah I'd actually have more faith about our userbase and mods keeping it under control. I think I'm more neutral about the whole thing honestly
