Shitposts are important ecosystem barometers for banter; an early warning guidepost to approaching the maximal allowed discourse.
Without shitposts, you have no constantly governed North Star in your community because you have no measure of its distance – only shallow and stricting fear of nonconformity. Like fish that choke without oxygen from water burbling over brooks, without shitposts your dreams of a blooming dialogue will dry into a wasteland.

(Edit: Shitpost in this instance is a Twitter term for out-of context random posting without a larger purpose or theme. Think dril)

@SwiftOnSecurity this place feels a lot more stale, in general. but im learning a lot from some new niche accounts so who knows

until this place feels right tho im still gonna be reading my twitter timeline.

@gren @SwiftOnSecurity Mastodon is where I go to meet and talk to people about my interests. Twitter is where to go to see what the world thinks (or at least the parts they show you). Personally, I prefer it here.
