I really thought this was going to be a satire post about the Yemen bombing Signal chat group leak based off the reddit title.

[-] TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 95 points 2 months ago

I was inspired to post this story in light of recent events.

[-] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

I don't blame you, thought the same and already seen a few today.

If the contents of my friends' group chat got leaked... people would just think we're fucking idiots, not terrible people.

Good work, Derek. Be better, losers in that chat.

[-] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 months ago

I think that's obtuse, comedy has no limits: As long as you don't act upon uncomfortable / morally reprehensible ideas you joke about, you aren't any worse or better than if you had never joked about it. I would argue that exposing a bunch of people for what they joke about with no evidence that they've actually done something wrong is far worse than joking about offensive subjects. (one has zero negative affects, the other has many)

(I must say I disagree completely with that guy sharing messages from his girlfriend- that piece is very weird and a total breach of trust)

[-] blady_blah@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Keep in mind the source of this story. The author has every reason to describe the stuff on their group chat sound tame, so if it sounds bad, it's probably 3 times worse than that.

My impression from the original post was that kind of stuff was what drove most of the fallout. Leaked off color memes aren't going to ruin people's relationships, but leaked shit talk or breaches of someone else's privacy will.

Because they're a fucking idiot, duh.

Easy, by having an inflated ego and a holier than thou attitude! 👍

If I had to explain some of my in-group chats, it would be complicated and awkward, but not life-destroying.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 65 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think my saved memes are 50/50 funny and concerning

The thing is, on Lemmy these are pretty normal... but for my very conservative grandma who hardly understands what a lesbian is...

Oh no. The consequences of my own actions have come back to haunt me

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago

I once had a group chat that got leaked. There's a possibility that it may have involved some light treason.

[-] higgsboson@dubvee.org 10 points 2 months ago

Well there's always money in thr banana stand.

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 50 points 2 months ago

I thought this was going to be satire about the Atlantic editor being accidentally included in war room group chats. Lol.

Pete Hegseth, is that you?

Ah yes, "cocksucker" as the first insult to come to mind, the sign of a good person

I suddenly feel better about my group chats, it's all gay memes, positivity and anti-capitalist revolution.

Can't have my group chats leaked if I don't have any!

[-] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

I would love for my 40k groups five year group chat to be leaked. My theories about Alpharius is valid I tell you.

Nononono, do it go! We haven't even gotten to the part with Valdor, and the Emperor yet.

[-] LengAwaits@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Shitposting is just pretending to be stupid/racist/shitty for laughs/attention, right? Pretty low form of humor, if you ask me (no one did), but I'm also guessing a lot of shitposters aren't just pretending.

I like a laugh as much as the next person, but we can't sit around going "Why are people in this country so fucking stupid/racist/shitty?" while simultaneously elevating "acting" stupid to some high form of humor. You see how that's counterproductive, right?

“Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.” - Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

never admit to the group chat leaks.

Always be shitposting. They can never catch you offguard if you don't stop.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Shitposting is one thing. Without knowing what the war memes were, I can't say one way or another.

Sharing private chats from your girlfriend? Yeah, that's too far.

Disappearing messages people!

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago

Derek sounds like a cool guy.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago

derek sounds like a dick.

What you do in private does not necessarily reflect who you are in public. And who you are in public, does not necessarily reflect who you are in private either.

Good. Don’t be an asshole to your friends behind their backs. That’s trashy behavior, and you deserve to lose your friends if you do it.

My groups collective chats are more of a microcosm of meme culture at the given time, sort of a petri dish of various meme strains fighting for (limited) mental resources.

[-] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 13 points 2 months ago

Are you 'Derek'?

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago

Derek getting mad laid now.

[-] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

It's a good thing. Kind seeks kind. Don't be afraid to be who you are.

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

There’s always two group chats, one for everyone and one for the people you want to talk to. And if you think that doesn’t happen I have some bad news for you.
