not nearly enough shitposting on here
@chadloder Model the desired behavior.
@jameslivesinbuffalo i'm more of a shitpost appreciator than a shitposter
@chadloder @jameslivesinbuffalo and soon you will be told to do a cw because this is a different land. Personally, I’m all for native customs but I’m very confused, which takes energy and reduces investment.
@grahamcfwilliams Did you get told that by someone random in the Fediverse? Your instance? A moderator of your instance?
@grahamcfwilliams Just checked in and the rules on my instance are that you only need a CW for certain topics. Nudity, bodily injury, drugs, detailed sexual descriptions, mentions of self-harm, and, funnily enough, spoilers.
@grahamcfwilliams I don't have an issue with CWing on any of those. If someone from another instance has a problem with what I post they can block me and vice versa.
@jameslivesinbuffalo @grahamcfwilliams I don’t boost people who don’t CW a really great topic bc it doesn’t follow the custom.
@DrSnit Fair enough. Whether or not certain posts will flourish on this platform is another question (customs change; time will tell!), I just wanted to say that people shouldn't feel so constrained. And an easy way is to read the rules on your server rather than worrying about what they might be!
@jameslivesinbuffalo thanks for the heads up! It helps a lot in learning.
@grahamcfwilliams oh, you need to look up the rules for your instance. I was just hiding mine to make sure I don't get banned while doing an example. But yeah. Some random on the internet being a scold isn't something to worry about as long as you know your terms of service.
@jameslivesinbuffalo @grahamcfwilliams can ‘drugs’ be clarified? It’s so hard not to be an advocate voice for the green plants that saved my life and the lives of so many have been improved.
@Upside420 Definitely check the rules on your server (sometimes behind a link on the front page labeled "about"). I might double-check that one before talking about how I recover from snow shoveling today.

@Upside420 lol just saw your username. Yeah, Iooking at rules for your instance I think you're fine.
@jameslivesinbuffalo someone random in another instance driving massive confusion.
@chadloder @jameslivesinbuffalo
Be the change you want to see in the world.
@chadloder Gotta give the new culture time to bed in properly before people can start pushing meaningful boundaries and shitposting makes sense! =)
@chadloder And then of course the very next thing on my feed is a shitpost: https://bitbang.social/@NanoRaptor/109369439104992836

@AGTMADCAT this is true though 😂 i worked on an assembly line where we hand-punched them
@chadloder Shit doesn't just happen - assholes make it.
@chadloder on fosstodon, shit posting is explicitly forbidden. ☹️
@chadloder All good things will come with time XD
@chadloder too many characters. Shitposts should be short and sweet. Mastodon breeds potential shitnovels. 😕
@chadloder be the Change you want to see etc 
@chadloder I'm working on it. Also check out different servers to find the shit quality of their shitposts.
@chadloder don’t fall for this #ShitposterSyndrome
Believe in yourself, you can do the thing if you try
@chadloder I’m told that brands.town has some good Twitter-style shitposting
@petersterne @chadloder
I had to go look, and shit is there all right. Worth a look if you're bored, but sort of loses its impact when packed into a tight space.
@chadloder not sure if you know about the legendary @garfiald and @healyn duo here
@chadloder I have to get cozy first
@chadloder well @wizard has some good stuff lol
@chadloder I guess I need to step up my game
@chadloder
Hoping to forge positive activism plowshares from our former shitpost swords.
Speaking from bitter experience, a troll for good is still a troll.
@chadloder rest assured, a critical mass of cringe is building here at mastodon.
@chadloder 💩💩 … just gonna leave this here
@chadloder that's because you don't speak italian
@chadloder Ngl, that’s part of what I like. Shitposting is fine, but it reached a point on Twitter where that’s basically all that there was.
@chadloder give it time. Happy to find you here.
@chadloder, I’m going to be honest… I kind of like it. The only slurs I’ve seen since joining are screen shots from Twitter.
@chadloder Hi. Did your Twitter account get suspended? If so, did they tell you why?
@chadloder
Did you get banned on Twitter? Says your account is suspended??
