We're just posting anti-union propaganda on the fediverse now?

Are y'all at least getting paid for it? fedposting

How many times does satire and irony posting have to backfire on us before we realize that shit only works if the person is smart enough to be in on the joke; otherwise we're just propagandizing against ourselves.

Unfunny bits, more so than reactionary tendencies or unexamined chauvinsisms strike at the core of what this community - both in it's nascent pre-lemmy form and in it's current instantiation- stands for, and thus presents the single greatest threat to group cohesion and continued existence. Do we not ban such bits as being anathema to our very essence using every moderation tool that is available to us?

No, we do not; our true potential is reached when, much like posting, every member of the community has the unabridged right to commit to an unfunny bit, but through careful cultivation of the right form of thought, chooses unabashedly not to.

Until then, the struggle continues - numquam ponere
