badposting
badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net 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:
- 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
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- 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

Stage 1: Reflection of a Basic Stalin
In this stage, a sign or image is seen as a faithful reflection of a real, underlying Stalin. This is the "sacramental order" where signs are believed to represent something real and truly Stalin.
Stage 2: Masking and Denaturing Stalin
Here, signs and images begin to mask and distort the underlying Stalin, rather than reflecting him accurately. This is the "order of maleficence" where the sign is an unfaithful copy, hinting at an obscure Stalin it cannot encapsulate.
Stage 3: Masking the Absence of a Stalin
This stage involves signs pretending to represent Stalin, but with no original or underlying Stalin to represent. The sign masks the absence of a real referent, claiming to represent a Stalin that doesn't exist.
Stage 4: Pure Simulacrum
In the final stage, the sign becomes a pure simulacrum, no longer related to any Stalin whatsoever.
Signs merely reflect other signs, and any claim to Stalin is just another sign, creating a hyperreal, self-referential world.
