badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

I'm here. Thanks for letting us know about this place, I'm glad that we have places to crash digitally when the world starts burning around us.

Anyone who does synthesizer stuff or was part of my Trans Synths starter pack over on Bluesky: I might have to figure out how to make that community multi-platform btwn those who stick around on Bluesky (at least for a while longer), here, and a Discord server.

I actually did make a comm request for Trans Synths, go check it out over here https://hexbear.net/post/4114984

ralsei-wave I like the emoji selection here :3

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Thanks for your original message about this place. I was sure after a couple of days that the powers that be around here had decided I was too snarky to let in, but it turned out I'd just made a typo in my email address thonk

Hey, Amalthea here and I brought a six pack.

What happened on the new liberal hellsite

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think this explains it: https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/13/bluesky-is-at-a-crossroads-as-users-petition-to-ban-jesse-singal-over-anti-trans-views-harassment/

As I understand it, they’re refusing to ban Jesse Singal, despite him violating the TOS by engaging in targeted harassment of trans people, which means they’re basically sanctioning transphobia on the platform.

Hi - I’ll probably be quiet for a bit while I get the lay of the land, but this seems like a really nice community 😊

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

This is by far the most pleasant online community I've ever been in. Everyone is super sweet and there's absolute zero tolerance of transphobia which is awesome

New folks. theres lots of emojis. either click the smiley face on the bar above where you're texting, between the chain link thingy and the portrait thingy, or when you're familiar with what you want to emoji type a colon and without hitting space type a random word to have a box pop up with words associated with it. Example type the following and choose a random emoji ---> :Cat

I chose this one thurston

you can also upload image avatars and account banners by going to account settings.

Hihi!! I'm really happy to see a social media platform that doesn't give into fascists' demands and lets them just exist there. Or just let them run free. This place seems very nice :D

salutealute-2 we must always continue to drag queers here so we can subject them to our cute emotes and bad inside jokes beanis

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Here to post a link to this week's Trans Megathread that is pinned on the front page for those interested. There are also other pinned posts for people in other communities, as well as the News (serious) and General (serious and unserious) megathreads for everyone. /c/badposting is where we go to post the worst (or best?) jokes we have, so please don't take it as your only impression.

Welcome from the Bureaucracy! We're an account shared by multiple posters with no relation or knowledge of each other outside our own posts.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

thank you so much for the recommendation, Sage! I didn't realize how much my heart was starting to get squeezed every time I logged on over at Bluesky until I saw how chill this place is. I fight every single day irl to advocate for my crew and it used to be a soft place to land when I got home but now it feels like I'm logging in and fighting the same old bullshit there too when I'm just tryna shitpost and make friends. I'm very excited to explore here! You're the best! 🫢

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hi Sage! Is there a way to view your bluesky post without having an account?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I had to scroll through like 12 pages of replies to find this because we're too popular

https://subium.com/profile/trans.bsky.social/post/3lda6gromkc2h

Also someone screenshotted us in the replies. big-cool
