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.

You were probably there too. I haven't seen you on hextube in a while. Maybe you use a different name or maybe you just don't go there anymore. I also think you are very funny. I hope you are doing well. I have a lot of respect for you.

I don't think there should be an anti union comm and I especially don't trust Melina to moderate such a comm. Please don't hate me.

i'm absolutely not hating. i'm trying to see what the problem is here and it feels like a kneejerk reaction to seeing something there are tools to avoid seeing in the future

idk, I think it's worthy preventing a rightward drift of this site.

i don't really see it drifting to the right though. i see someone posting jokes that we are all in on and a lot of people taking it entirely too seriously
