Remove c/fakenews

Keep c/fakenews

fakenews is one of the only comms i have blocked lol. but since i have it blocked, i don't mind others who do enjoy it.

c/fakenews should announce its removal and be removed based on whether people think they’re serious or not

frankly i understand banning beluga if they were the one creating the alts, which i have a hard time believing, but i really dislike the concept of going for a layup like deleting fakenews to regain some kind of credibility with the userbase. it's lateral to the point, does nothing to solve the actual issues being discussed, and shutters a comm that was harmless fun for a majority of the people contributing content to it. i spent probably 2 or 3 hours total writing content, creating actual satire, and to see it unceremoniously swept away as a peacekeeping move honestly makes me upset and think that everyone on a higher level has absolutely no idea what they can actually do to fix the situation

I thought y'all were gonna take it easy?

I don't think there is any need. Users can block the comm if they want.

FakeNews is just Effort-BadPosting

Mostly neutral. The bits are mostly lame. But a lot of ND comrades really don't like it so

badposting is better

I feel the best case for a c/fakenews post is a mildly humorous gotcha. The worst case is causing an anxiety episode for a comrade. The median is just an unfunny post clogging up the timeline. The good posts that comes from c/fakenews can still stick around, just post in c/chapotraphouse and link to a rickroll or something.

Fakenews still exists?

because if I don't notice it's here, I won't notice it's gone.

Lmao

What’s the rationale for removing it?
That people see it and can think it’s real news?? It has fakenews next to all the posts

Literally the worst comm in existence.

I feel like it hasn't been much of a problem lately, even unblocked

I think this is a good way of doing things.

Thanks for your patience and effort these past few days.

Keep Fake News!

I actually enjoyed the comm after it was opened up to everyone but I'm not going to lose any sleep if it was removed

I mean I had it blocked on my old account and when I made this new account one of the first things I did was block it, so I ain't gonna miss it.

But if you come for badposting next I'm gonna send the crew at you

I'm a centrist

I actually like the ones that manage to bamboozle me

it's always been a terrible comm, don't understand why it was protected so long.

Remove c/fakenews

I think it can be fun, and it can always be blocked, just like badposting. It can move beyond where it started, it doesn't have to carry the baggage of a user.

Either way, completely understand if it gets removed. People could always start putting fake news in badposting, since it's bad.
