Not sure this fits. The guy is clearly Korean.

Forget about the post fitting the community - the whole community itself doesn't fit Lemmy. Why are we segregating tweets? I'll bet the mods here don't even know why /r/whitepeopletwitter existed in the first place because if they did, they'd know we don't "need" it here. It's arguably worse if they don't know because they're separating tweets by race for no fucking reason

Seriously just delete this community and use microblogmemes or whatever. Can't believe this reddit shit got copied over here.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 53 points 9 months ago

The practical reason it exists is because a lot of Lemmy users are looking for a replacement to Reddit, so the first thing they do after signing up is try to find communities that match the subreddits they were subscribed to. If you create a community that shares a name with a popular subreddit, you're more likely to get members to join.

I agree with you for the record, the racially segregated communities has always been a bit icky and there's really no need for it on Lemmy.

There was a gold rush to copy every single subreddit over here yet they didn't copy the reasons they exist or anything that made them special. The fact that nostupidquestions is a general "ask anything" community is a great example.

So many communities on this site are just uncreative shells filled with archival posts from reddit. I find it both sad and annoying.

This place doesn't have enough traffic for No Stupid Question to be meaningfully different from Ask Lemmy yet.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

It doesn't have the sidebar rules yet, either. "we'll narrow it down later" is a weak plan

[-] reev@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

So is "narrow it down and no one posts anymore" though. Both sides have a fair argument here imo.

at this point Twitter is so dead that the only good posts are archival anyways. maybe we could have c/TwitterArchives or something

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

I like microblogmemes. These guys have Dying Twitter:

[-] OddFed@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

Just wanted to let you know that I hereby grant you a super like. My thoughts exactly. And well formulated.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Shouldn't you be on BlackPeopleTwitter, Justin?

I agree that just because ProZD's voice sounds like he even showers wearing a monocle and a top hat, doesn't mean that he's "white". That said, I think the post fits because the people he's referring to are probably white.

EDIT: Grammar edit

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 months ago

The community's description plainly states that they allow tweets from anyone

[-] daltotron@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

I'm the CEO of whiteness. By official decree, Korean people are now white, except for when they aren't. Let it be known.

My Korean wife will fight you IRL.
