Fake news posters are all current 4 chan posters and nobody will ever change my mind. Ironic posting is all good right? Satire is always correct right? i-love-not-thinking

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

Oh by the way me calling all fake news posters stupid clowns is just satire. It's so funny honestly you should make me the mod of the comm because I'm clearly so good at satire

Make a post on fake news and I can mod you

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

I would use my mod powers to ban everyone from the comm. Just FYI.

How does a post like this scream 4chan to you?

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

You don't see the issue there? Wow sounds like a skill issue to me

Sure! In a world where Hexbear defederates with literally everyone because we need to protect our of users from reactionary posts, suddenly everyone comes out of the woodwork to defend "fake" and "satirical" and "silly" reactionary posting. But see, it's satire! Surely EVERYONE on a site full of a variety of wonderful neurodiversity understands it's just jokes! Clearly anyone who doesn't understand it's just jokes is a nerd and is dumb and isn't just struggling with their own neurodiversity in the lack of context that comes from largely anonymous posting online! Yes we need to protect users from reactionary posting, but not THOSE users! THOSE users are actually just dumb! It's THEIR fault that they're upset or hurt by these jokes! It's only reactionary if it hurts people who don't struggle with context online! People who struggle with context online are just dumb!!!

That's basically you and everyone that posts fake reactionary shit, in the fake news comm, the extraordinarily (thank fuck) short lived anti union comm, and all other related full on reactionary "satire". Including all the people I'll inevitably block for telling me that actually these forms of neurodiversity aren't real and don't count and that I'm just a big stupid dumb dumb for maybe thinking that even satirical or fake or obviously joking reactionary content isn't OK because it's just a prank bro! Just JOKES! That's what the fake news comm is to me, why I have it blocked, why anything and everything that comes out of it should probably just fucking stay in it instead of spilling its reactionary screed all over the rest of the site, and why I block everyone who defends it.

Anyway the fact that you can't even recognize that maybe harmful punching down satire is still harmful is why it's a skill issue.

I'm ND and think it's funny when I get tricked. Most if not all fake news isn't reactionary in any way. Making jokes about King Charles drinking potions isn't reactionary

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Oh good thanks for completely invalidating me and proving my point perfectly.

[-] CDommunist@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

What is the reactionary content on fake news? Almost all of it is about celebrities dying. I've never seen a post that took a right wing position, even ironically

I asked how king Charles drinking potions is reactionary and didn't get an answer

Is the concept of tricking people reactionary?

[-] BovineUniversity@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

What there is reactionary? Lies are just lies, where's the conservatism?
