ohhh i'm ironically against being a leftist by saying things chuds literally say
what's next? an anti_trans_aktion comm? jesus fucking christ
What if it was anti_transaction and it was against buying things (pro stealing them)
this and the fake news com are the only two I have blocked here. Just way more obnoxious than they could ever be funny.
Someone made a post about human transmission of Avian Flu in the Fake News section like that's a funny bit or something. Where's the joke? Absolutely ridiculous and should be taken down.
Honestly yeah, I make a point to not shit on anything anymore for the most part but the fakenews comm is annoying at best and alarming when I'm not paying attention
Somebody posted a fake news post in a default comm a month ago because fake news was temporarily closed and I just blocked that person.
If the articles are written in a way that is a fun satire I'm more okay with it. Reading the onion is a fun enough time at points, but just lying about news and making up stories defeats the purpose of having the community.
I think the point is to make people double check the source before they believe something they read online? it's a worthwhile goal but an explanation of media literacy should really be an automatic reply to every post in that comm.
Yeah, definitely a shitty comm and a bit that isn't even remotely funny.
Also way to give a concrete example for every lib to point to and correctly say "they're completely irony poisoned and unfunny at best and actually secretly right wingers at worst"
It's also not even funny.
They've missed the point of irony is supposed to have a point and are just doing the opposite of what is good and calling it ironic.
Between this and the fake news comm, I'm rethinking trying to get comrades more involved on this site. Like, it's just embarrassing and too much trouble to have to explain "oh yeah those really active comms that appear completely indistinguishable from reactionary trash are actually just ironic."
The fact that all of these "jokes" could be posted on
with complete sincerity makes me suspect a lot of this content isn't even ironic. I mean, if I was a reactionary trying to cause trouble for a leftist community, creating and participating in these kinds of comms is exactly how I would go about it.I like the fake news comm. Genuinely funny from time to time.
This is just a joke sub like love for landlords and other spaces. They're not spaces I use, although I mod gamingcirclejerk which has a similar vibe in doing irony-posting here and there but I do think subs like it have done good work over on reddit in helping develop people's understanding of what to oppose.
I don't necessarily think it holds the same value over here on lemmy, but it might do later?
yea this shit makes me not want to share the site with anyone. it's not even funny

They're both because of one person. This is completely sus and is exactly what a smarter reactionary would do.
Yeah this is bad and whoever thought it up needs to have a long think about why it's bad.
You can take the 12 year olds out of 4chan but you can't take the 4chan out of 12 year olds apparently.
I like this community a lot because it makes me feel better about all my garbage bits
For a second, I thought it was because I had accidentally went off local
Then I realized the posts were coming from inside the house
I saw it pop up on the main page and decided to see what it was all about, couldn't find what's so funny about it, and blocked that shit immediately.
everytime one of these "ironic" communities pops up, they will always eventually devolve into unironic shit
case in point r gamersriseup a few years back on
