Now that the Anti Union comm is gone can FakeNews get removed?

Worst comm on the site run by the least funny people

blocking the sub improved my hexbear browsing experience a great deal

I’m glad I’m not the only one

I don’t want to dog on the subject but the concept could be funny if the bits were quality and occasional, but it seems to be a shotgun blast of first thought stuff that is at least a workshop away from a sensible chuckle or even smirk

Don’t we have enough unfunny bullshit from the greater Lemmyverse? Do we need to shit out our own too?

Is virgil really a celebrity?

[insert beloved celebrity] has died after smoking fent while having an IBS attack

More like [insert beloved celebrity] who’s like 70-80 anyway died from natural causes.

It’s not creative or goofy or a little suspicious on the face of it, it’s just a fake story played straight. The only joke is “you idiot, you fool, for a second you believed this plausible story no one has any reason to make up!”

why do so many people here hate fun

i think too many of you are afraid of having your smarty pants card revoked for believing a lie on the internet. it’s not that big a deal.

It wouldn’t be a big deal if any of the posts were actually funny.

It is a big fucking deal. I worked harder than a union man (very low bar) to get my smarty pants card and I’m not going to have it taken from me

What’s wrong with making a new account everytime you’re wrong?

Poster’s honor forfeited.

i don’t like the idea of any kind of space built on pure irony/sarcasm because it always devolves into earnestness by people who don’t catch the joke, or people who want to hide something insidious within the irony

maybe our beautiful mods could have handled it before it got too out of control, but I’m still just not into it

Bruh we are on hexbear there ain’t no lib in this mf

Wait, what? I thought everyone here was a lib, including you and me

i don’t like the idea of any kind of space built on pure irony/sarcasm because it always devolves into earnestness by people who don’t catch the joke

Idk if that’s totally true, I’ve seen ironic spaces that manage to keep things under control, the main factors seem to be if the community was founded by people who were genuinely there for ironic play or by people looking to hide their actual opinions, and if the mod team is vigilant in chasing off people who show up who clearly aren’t there for the humor.

yeah I’d actually have more faith about our userbase and mods keeping it under control. I think I’m more neutral about the whole thing honestly

We will reform the Anti Union comm, and a bot will post long winded pro union theory and a debate on the nature of comedy automatically under every comment

We can always spin up a “sister instance”

We can discuss it after you stop dealing fent. How many clientele of yours have OD’ed again because you keep listening to discord podcasts while cutting your product?

I’m pretty sure you’re joking but getting someone killed due to listening to discord podcasts sounds like something a hexbear would do.

Unless OP is lying they’ve been very open about pushing fent

Their operation is so large they regularly refer to it as a “fent factory”

crazy that this is real and true

I don’t deal I just manufacture

Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.

No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Gossip posts go in c/gossip. Don’t post low-hanging fruit here after it gets removed from c/gossip
