The internet is one giant shitpost. It's a shit microcosm of shit Randy. Just shit muffins all the way down.

Shitpost is a catchall community. You can post just about anything here. There's a lot of discussion that goes on in some posts, and other posts that are simply 'heh bewbs' level content.
I love the randomness of it because it jives with the way my brain works. I flit about like a methed up hummingbird, and so does this community.
And it's not even close

The stick enthusiasts community will be avenged for this ghastly slight.
that’s actually a flaw not a feature, shitposting is the lowest effort posting in any community and a lot of subs on reddit ban shitposting from their subs because it drowns out all the other content and community
that is to say the most popular comm in this place takes the least effort
which makes lemmy less of a reddit alternative and more a 9gag alternative
Or it's genius because anyone who has some shit to post in a real community either decides it's better for here, where it can be enjoyed and it doesn't drown out the real content, or they try it there, the mod stops them, and instead of getting all butthurt about it they can bring it here where it gets seen by more people anyway and still the real community stays pure.
Allow me to introduce you to the humble !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
I liked that community a lot, until the admin banned me for being ableist. I legitimately don't know what I did to piss them off, other than the reason the left in the mod log (calling me an ableist shitbag).
I feel like I'm pretty chill, and usually cautious, but I guess they didn't see it that way.
