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:

  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

but don't even bother trying to learn the emojis unless you grew up there, nobody remembers them all anyway.

I used to theory-garythis-is-not-an-emote (hexbear-trans dialect) because I monkey-typewriter. But I didn't deep-nesting enough and sore-loser it.

In truth, made-it-the-fuck-upastronaut-2astronaut-1, but each this-is-not-an-emoteposting was niko-dunk anyway.

Is President Xi doing it next week? xi-peel

I appreciate President Putin stepping in from time to time, but there's too many potatoes in it. putin-wink kitty-cri-potato

[–] miz@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

had that problem for a little while late last year but it's rare for me now

They've never truly worked properly for me across many updates and years on the bearsite, neither tue : selector nor the 🙂 picker. Unless I'm extremely bang-on with the emoji name or keywords, I'll only ever get to preview at best 50% of the suggestions on-screen after 30s. It's fine tho, I'm used to it by now

Still have no idea what the point of this place is.

that's how I feel about Earth

It is sorta neat how over 7ish years (counting the quarantine) of isolation a dialect gradually developed. The discord server was probably the big inflection point that added emojis, upped the speed of conversations and meant (near) total isolation from random people joining

Also smh GOOD post bugs-stalin
