Shitposting is what ruined reddit, which would be a great place for serious discussion if it weren’t for the shitposting maniacs who just can’t let good people enjoy pictures of kittens and assertions of respectable politics without lampooning them with ironic memes and foul language.
If these fledgeling platforms want to compete with reddit then I say delete this sub so we can focus on serious things like Donald Trump and superhero movies.
Quality tier shitpost right here
IDK if he’s serious or not 🤨.

Yeah it’s fake. It felt serious until then.
Your idealistic view of shitposting may sound coherent in itself, but it lacks any basis in reality. Humans aren’t machines who can give monotonous and one-sided output indefinitely. Every action has a reaction, and every serious post requires its corresponding ironic shitpost to keep the mental balance in order. I’m not even saying that a compromise needs to be made, but rather that they are different sides of the same coin. No internet community, it is said, can grow to heaven if its shitposts do not reach down to hell.
You (a sociopath) may think that shitposters are a necessary casualty of the internet wars, that they belong at the “children’s table” of the internet where serious discussions are met with mockery.
But I (a good person) know that these shitposters have the potential to better themselves, and through themselves better the world, by posting thoughtful content instead of the steady stream of drivel and waste that poisons communities and turns sons against daughters, mothers against uncles, and pets against emotional support animal companions.
Ok

this is c/lemmyshitpost, what do you want us to do here? Discuss how the industrial revolution ruined global society as we know it?
Your belligerent attitude is unbecoming of a sophisticated internet user.

If anything the industrial revolution launched global society. There is less starvation and disease than ever before. But we didn’t get there by shitposting.

That’s right. I’m delivering the word where it is needed most.

I don’t know about you but not everyone uses Reddit/Lemmy for primarily serious reasons. Besides, this place is called “lemmyshitpost” for a reason- people want to post rather profane memes and they want to do it somewhere, and this place is for that. Without this place, the “shit” in question gets into other places. You coming to this specifically secluded place and asking us to talk about more “elite” topics is like asking the landfill manager why there is trash everywhere.
also the industrial revolution thing was a joke lol, I was referencing the Unabomber

That’s why Jesus hung out with whores and pimps and thieves, because they were the ones that most needed to hear his message.

It makes sense that you would be a fan of the unabomber. Shitposting is basically terrorism.
You can block communities you don’t like. I advise anyone to block this community if they don’t want to see it
Nope, I’m here to save your souls and to save the soul of the nation. I’m here for the long run. You can expect a full critical analysis of every shitpost.
