Shitposting is what ruined reddit, which would be a great place for serious discussion if it weren’t for the shitposting maniacs who just can’t let good people enjoy pictures of kittens and assertions of respectable politics without lampooning them with ironic memes and foul language.
If these fledgeling platforms want to compete with reddit then I say delete this sub so we can focus on serious things like Donald Trump and superhero movies.
Your belligerent attitude is unbecoming of a sophisticated internet user.
If anything the industrial revolution launched global society. There is less starvation and disease than ever before. But we didn’t get there by shitposting.
That’s right. I’m delivering the word where it is needed most.
If this is the greatest meme of all time I commend the troll, I don’t talk about starvation because the world is shit and there is only so much negative information you can consume before I want to succumb myself to being a meat patty beneath a sky-scraper.
This is for people to have a laugh and joke about things, if you’re not interested. That’s cool. Power to you; but me personally, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life consuming everything negative, being angry and bitter about the world and trying to change things I can’t change because the powers at be have the money and wealth to make it impossible.
If you want intellectual debate, and sophisticated conversation a place dedicated to jokes, memes and shitposting is obviously not the place Block the community and be on your way, but I’d advise spending less time worrying about circumstances you don’t have money/power to change as it’ll only lead you down a path to misery.
That’s a lot of fine words but the message is clear: nobody needs my critical analysis of shitposting culture more than you. You’re clearly locked into the seventh layer of the shitposting inferno.
But I am here for you. I will show you the errors of your ways. I will cure you. I will make you respectable, coherent, emanating wellness.
this is actually pretty funny ngl

I don’t know about you but not everyone uses Reddit/Lemmy for primarily serious reasons. Besides, this place is called “lemmyshitpost” for a reason- people want to post rather profane memes and they want to do it somewhere, and this place is for that. Without this place, the “shit” in question gets into other places. You coming to this specifically secluded place and asking us to talk about more “elite” topics is like asking the landfill manager why there is trash everywhere.
also the industrial revolution thing was a joke lol, I was referencing the Unabomber
That’s why Jesus hung out with whores and pimps and thieves, because they were the ones that most needed to hear his message.
It makes sense that you would be a fan of the unabomber. Shitposting is basically terrorism.
Don’t blame us for not understanding the art and seriousness of shitposting. Also if shitposting is basically terrorism, than we are on a watchlist, lol. Cool thread, will leave now.
Also, since this is the Internet we are talking about, to “avoid” getting trolled, I will respond in reaction images only for this comment until further notice. Nice talk.
