Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Question yourself, why do you use donaldification, do you mean the sub? If so do you think the social interactions here are like there? Beating down against marginalized people in the imperial core with heavy slurs and racism which promote violence in the authoritarian core?
If you want to refer to the way communication is done, in a not serious tone, with elements that actually connect to people (like the old chapo subreddit did), then you have to ask yourself why you are against an effective presence of the working class on the net.
If you are just finding the humor edgy then that is another matter, but the first two - which you opened up due to your choice of words - make me think that there is more to it. I feel as if there is a moral component you value highly. Is that so?
Remember how t_d was a tongue in cheek in-joke in the beginning until it grew and actually drew in users that actually were all in with the cult without a hint of self awareness and became what you described?
That path is too easy to accidentally replicate and IT will be a negative effect for the working class on the net. Regular prole scrollers won't get "stalin is good because he's handsome" even though we might have a taste for edgier humor
Think critical, friend
Will get it, since we are having enough critical points and mega threads as well as theory discussions.
Yeah I differ in that estimate. A variety of places for the working class will be more effective than small closed groups of critical school theory nerds (which had like 90 years to come up with functional organizing).
I'm not sure if scrollers stick to find out about if there's honesty in the megathreads.
Variety is definitely good. Maybe I've just seen too many in-jokes-as-a-glue things convert to something else around the internet as media literacy is falling. Shrug.
Love the optimism tho! Peace out
