badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] 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

Thanks for your original message about this place. I was sure after a couple of days that the powers that be around here had decided I was too snarky to let in, but it turned out I'd just made a typo in my email address thonk

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm here. Thanks for letting us know about this place, I'm glad that we have places to crash digitally when the world starts burning around us.

Anyone who does synthesizer stuff or was part of my Trans Synths starter pack over on Bluesky: I might have to figure out how to make that community multi-platform btwn those who stick around on Bluesky (at least for a while longer), here, and a Discord server.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I actually did make a comm request for Trans Synths, go check it out over here https://hexbear.net/post/4114984

Now I'm here too, and my sleepy Monday morning millennial ass brain is trying to work out how everything works πŸ™ƒ

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I've made it to the party πŸ₯³

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Hi sage, thank you for bringing us here!!!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Whew. Made the cut. Thanks for the heads up about this place!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

hey, just got here from Bsky, thanks for the recommendation

This place feels like the forums I used to hang out on back in the early 2000s :)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Hey! Thanks for the recommendation. πŸ’œ

I'll apologize in advance as I learn the flow of things, but this place already looks amazing! πŸ₯°

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Herro. Am new. Still figuring out how everything works here. It seems great tho, thx for bringing everypuppy over from bsky! ^_^

What happened on the new liberal hellsite

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think this explains it: https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/13/bluesky-is-at-a-crossroads-as-users-petition-to-ban-jesse-singal-over-anti-trans-views-harassment/

As I understand it, they’re refusing to ban Jesse Singal, despite him violating the TOS by engaging in targeted harassment of trans people, which means they’re basically sanctioning transphobia on the platform.

Hi - I’ll probably be quiet for a bit while I get the lay of the land, but this seems like a really nice community 😊

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago

This is by far the most pleasant online community I've ever been in. Everyone is super sweet and there's absolute zero tolerance of transphobia which is awesome

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

it’s nice to be here & try this place out. It’s nice to see a place so queer & leftist centered. I’m not super thrilled about the prospect of losing my wrestling community without there being much of a space here to replace it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Not sure how many here are into wrestling, but suggesting new comms is always an option here. Maybe there’s already an audience here for this?

EDIT: Wait, never mind. There already is a wrestling comm here.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

hi sage, thanks for the recommendation catgirl-heart

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Yo! Glad to be here.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Thanks for the recommendation!

Hi! I'm new. Sage has said good things about this place, so I'm looking forward to checking it out skeleton-wave

thank you so much for the recommendation, Sage! I didn't realize how much my heart was starting to get squeezed every time I logged on over at Bluesky until I saw how chill this place is. I fight every single day irl to advocate for my crew and it used to be a soft place to land when I got home but now it feels like I'm logging in and fighting the same old bullshit there too when I'm just tryna shitpost and make friends. I'm very excited to explore here! You're the best! 🫢

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hihi!! I'm really happy to see a social media platform that doesn't give into fascists' demands and lets them just exist there. Or just let them run free. This place seems very nice :D

It was your recommendation that brought me here. This place is a little different, but so far I love it.

New folks. theres lots of emojis. either click the smiley face on the bar above where you're texting, between the chain link thingy and the portrait thingy, or when you're familiar with what you want to emoji type a colon and without hitting space type a random word to have a box pop up with words associated with it. Example type the following and choose a random emoji ---> :Cat

I chose this one thurston

you can also upload image avatars and account banners by going to account settings.

Hi, I made it!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Hi! I'm still getting used to the place here but I had to end up using a burner + name that doesn't appear to be associated with me on BlueSky, but glad to check things out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

hi im here now, thanks

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

salutealute-2 we must always continue to drag queers here so we can subject them to our cute emotes and bad inside jokes beanis

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

I'd seen this place before when I was wandering across the web but after being recommended as a haven away from bluesky I finally signed up.

This place looks cool, I've already got lost exploring instead of finishing this post :D
