man cannot live on memes and news alone. there is a void here. news stories breed reasoned discussion, generally filled with stringent, on topic remarks. memes breed tepid remarks, a step above twitter blue check replies, but little worth reading.

what we need is rants. schizophrenic analysis of an old tv show. schizophrenic analysis of taylor swift’s private jet schedule. takes. banter. self-posts, text-posts, and OC content in general.

only about 10% of people in any given community contribute. that means 90% of you are stifling your need to post with other, healthier methods. but i implore: to post is the way. posting is light. posting will bring you a better life, posting will heal your children, grant you a healthy crop, and secure your place in the grand hum of modern discourse

    To add:

    Someone posted in a UK sub asking if a “Good News UK” community would be good.

    I commented something like: “It’d make sense to set up and leave it empty while bloicking any submissions cos there’s bugger all good news about this country”

    4 DAY BAN but not just from the Good News UK community - from every other community they moderated including the Nature one which pissed me off most of all cos I fucking love British nature!

    Hedgehogs are my fave animal and I’ve nurtered some back to health. I love tits and especially the crested tit.

    Heaven forbid anyone leave a wry comment! Christ you’ll get banned from fucking everything.

    So no, banter is dead. Humour is dead unless it follows a brain-dead Reddit meme everyone understands.
