Could we please maybe not run our own "ironic" Cointelpro comms for the rest of the fediverse? (hexbear.net)

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.

R/The_Donald was ironic for approximately 6 hours before it became the largest trump forum on the internet 48 hours later

Because pretending to believe stupid shit is just going to make people who unironically agree with that stupid shit think they've found a home.

And then you being ironic doesn't really matter when the 30 people who genuinely believe it drown out everything you have to say.
