And it only has four posts lol!
I’m so proud.
Sad to hear they found Lemmy.
Has it been deleted? Cannot find it now
Yep, obliterated.
Good
tankie cringe
I blocked it the moment I saw it.
Likewise.
I just shitposted into one and got countered surprisingly witty. Yeah. A lot of those are Satire communities, at least atm.

Pretty sure r/TheDonald started as a satire community and it evolved into one of the largest white nationalist movements the world has ever seen.
Not sure I’d conflate r/The_Donald with the Republican Party’s turn into overt fascism, as a whole. But yeah, there’s something to be said for the dangers of ironic bigotry.
Its not a conflation, but a direct line. I watched it happen. What was /r/TheDonald became the foundation of truth social and all these other white nationalist reddit style mediums. It normalized the kind of populism which Trumps base embraced, particularly for young white males, who have since, taken it much further. I’m very convinced it got tilted in the way that it did by a disinformation campaign by a state actor.
Like the nazis on 4Chan 10-15 years ago. They were debate threads for the sake of arguing. Same with the flat earthers there. It was for the argument, not the points made.
Then people didnt get it and it became real.
If you’re someone funny or cool on the internet, you can enhance your experience immensely by arriving early and leaving early.
You’re here early. 🥂
Yeah there’s a term for that but I forget it.
Not post-irony but it’s close. meh.
I just got banned an hour ago from there for posting this image lol
Sad, low energy on their part. Failure of a community.
LMAO good one lol
Damn they’re already banning folks lol.
Already?
Instance admins should really nip that in the bud, IMO
I don’t get why people always want to ban things. At least you can see everything in the open now.
Communities with a habit of calling for violence against specific communities should be banned
Looks like some salty snowflake came through and downvoted every comment here, I’ve never seen so many lol. What a baby
The funny thing is it’s easy to tell when that happens here, as it shows the individual numbers
Honestly I expect that to make it so that happens less
I’m kind of disappointed I can’t downvote now, but oh well. Looks like others are doing the lords work haha
Still a badge of honor. Kind of like getting banned from r/conservative lol
You’re totally getting banned from c/conservative as soon as they figure out how to use Lemmy.
Those folks on r/conservative would be really mad at what you wrote if they could read
I picture Hank Hill trying to play PlayStation with Bobby before giving up.
Nah Hank can game, I mean remember how much he was slaying on Pro Pain? (also I’m wanting to build a community of KOTH fans so join me at !koth@rustyshackleford.cfd if you’re interested)
Me too! High five.
Trump nuts are the real snowflakes. They get upset at you without even a word needing to be said.
Did you though?
I just plainly asked “is this ironic?” and my comment was removed. No response.
Can you not even handle that?
Is there a list anywhere of these shit instances we can block?
The call is coming from inside the house on this one
Maybe it’s a bad community but not a whole bad instance?
ah ok, well question still stands if anyone knows of a list of instances to block like that.
Alternatively, you could browse by Subscription and never encounter any community you didn’t want to.
That doesn’t solve the issue though that just locks you in your own little box
Why do you need or want a list prepared by someone else?
Because I’m lazy and I’m not trying to put that much effort into scrolling
I’ve just been blocking communities I’m not interested as I’ve seen them. I’d rather curate my experience myself than have someone else curate it for me. To each his own though. I suppose I do use ad block lists prepared by others so not a ton different. Haha.
I’ve only found the one that’s a bunch of liberals cybersquatting the name of the former trump reddit sub.
who me? (:
Oh please turn it into a satire community.
Did you know that’s how r/thedonald actually started? It was meant to be satire but it attracted those who were serious and look at what happebed.
… and watch it become not-satire and then fully serious
It’s gonna need some careful moderation to keep it fully satire methinks
