A shitpost is low-effort troll material meant to derail a topic. Almost anything can be a shitpost, depending on the context. It is a little ironic that a community specifically for shitposting would actually not be shitposting by posting shitposts, since shitposts are the topic. So obviously the real shitposts are the comments shittalking the post and derailing the topic.
Plenty of the posts here are absolutely rubbish. They’re not shitposting at all. They’re people posting on a popular community for fake internet points
This post was a good, genuine shitpost, yet people replied as though OP is bad in bed and unaware of it
Either they too are looking for imaginary internet points, or they’re stupid
In a sense, yeah. Not that they shouldn’t be criticised, but that they shouldn’t be taken seriously. Just read every post and comment as if it has a /s at the end and you’ll have a more enjoyable time
It’s kinda sad how many people here have commented, apparently unaware of the fact that it’s a shitposting community
You mean exactly two people?
Or is this comment a shitpost?
I think we both know why that is…
People are stupid, and lemmy is mostly used by 'Muricans, who are without a doubt, the most stupid of all
Hey! Whoa! That’s not fair! Like 65% of us CAN read above a 6th grade level.
And in person it’s easy to tell who the idiots are. They wear red hats with white text.
Only because they aren’t yet able to wear their white hoods publicly
Yet…
So much edge.
If only the guy in OP tried to edge as much.
People keep saying this exact shit like ‘shitpost’ is synonymous with ‘anything goes and shall not be criticised’
