We're just posting anti-union propaganda on the fediverse now?
Are y'all at least getting paid for it? 
How many times does satire and irony posting have to backfire on us before we realize that shit only works if the person is smart enough to be in on the joke; otherwise we're just propagandizing against ourselves.
irony poisoning, it's bad folks! Boomers got lead in their blood but by god zoomers have iron in their brain
edit: i do wanna point out that this isn't so much an issue of 'smartness' as "large groups generally fail to understand anything more subtle than a hammer to the head" thing (i.e. a critique of irony in mass consumer culture of which the internet is a part)
There's a certain amount of subtlety to the posts that you get when you're in the loop but that just look like boilerplate propaganda when you're out of it.
Large diverse groups aren't going to recognize the tongue-in-cheek irony, so they'll either see it as outright cringe or low effort pasta. I don't really see this as influencing anyone, though. Its very ForwardsFromGrandma material.
Agreed, not the best wording on my part, but in my head the list of words I could use (informed/aligned/sympathetic/etc) was just too long. Went for the simplest.
How we're treated on the fediverse, and how we treat a lot of comms, is a good example. In both directions folks are reacting to a stereotype of the worst posters. Which, in our case, is 100% of hexbears, and in there case is only, like, 97% percent of temporarily embarassed redditors. That lingering 3% is pretty okay sometimes.
