I really thought this was going to be a satire post about the Yemen bombing Signal chat group leak based off the reddit title.

    If the contents of my friends' group chat got leaked... people would just think we're fucking idiots, not terrible people.

    Good work, Derek. Be better, losers in that chat.

    I think that's obtuse, comedy has no limits: As long as you don't act upon uncomfortable / morally reprehensible ideas you joke about, you aren't any worse or better than if you had never joked about it. I would argue that exposing a bunch of people for what they joke about with no evidence that they've actually done something wrong is far worse than joking about offensive subjects. (one has zero negative affects, the other has many)

    (I must say I disagree completely with that guy sharing messages from his girlfriend- that piece is very weird and a total breach of trust)

    My impression from the original post was that kind of stuff was what drove most of the fallout. Leaked off color memes aren't going to ruin people's relationships, but leaked shit talk or breaches of someone else's privacy will.

    If I had to explain some of my in-group chats, it would be complicated and awkward, but not life-destroying.

    I once had a group chat that got leaked. There's a possibility that it may have involved some light treason.

    Ah yes, "cocksucker" as the first insult to come to mind, the sign of a good person

    I thought this was going to be satire about the Atlantic editor being accidentally included in war room group chats. Lol.

    I've definitely got some bleak ass humor with some friends in private but forwarding messages people sent you in private to other people and group chats? Really?

    Derek sounds like a real one. That poster lacks so much situational awareness they'd fall into an open manhole like in a cartoon.

    Thought at first that its a meme about the signal groupchat that was leaked currently and then read its discord and its 1 year old.

    I suddenly feel better about my group chats, it's all gay memes, positivity and anti-capitalist revolution.

    Shitposting is just pretending to be stupid/racist/shitty for laughs/attention, right? Pretty low form of humor, if you ask me (no one did), but I'm also guessing a lot of shitposters aren't just pretending.

    I like a laugh as much as the next person, but we can't sit around going "Why are people in this country so fucking stupid/racist/shitty?" while simultaneously elevating "acting" stupid to some high form of humor. You see how that's counterproductive, right?

    “Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.” - Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

    Don’t talk shit about people behind their back. It always has a way of getting out because it’s clearly how you feel when their is no filter in place.

    I would love for my 40k groups five year group chat to be leaked. My theories about Alpharius is valid I tell you.

    Nononono, dont go! We haven't even gotten to the part with Valdor, and the Emperor yet.

    never admit to the group chat leaks.

    Always be shitposting. They can never catch you offguard if you don't stop.

    My groups collective chats are more of a microcosm of meme culture at the given time, sort of a petri dish of various meme strains fighting for (limited) mental resources.
