i dont know if mastodon has the same tolerance of shitposting as twitter and i...like? weird shitposting? i like making dumb jokes and everything seems very earnest over here. that isnt bad, but the vibe is definitely different
@cariglino i'm good at shitposting! i'm good at dumb jokes! i'm good at dumb jokes and shitposting in a way that was actually good for my career and idk i feel a way about sitting at what feels like the serious grownups table now. i'm anxious about what fork to use in a way that i'm not really used to
@oddletters understandable! me too! I have actual academics who I've never interacted with following me on here from my intro post and I am *absolutely* going to disappoint them when I start joking around w/ my pals on here because I am an unserious dork! And I'm worried I'll also piss off the more culturally-fediverse types by Using Mastodon Wrong somehow.
@oddletters does shitposting always have to be about outrage of what some dumb politician or techbro did? If so, I don't miss that 😬
I do miss the memes, 🐈, and lols though
@andresmh i consider shitposting to be "dumb jokes and weird bullshit," definitely not "reactionary posts about real life"
@oddletters gotcha, bring on the 💩 💩
@oddletters it varies from one instance to the next
if you feel like making an alt for goofy crap I'd recommend https://jorts.horse
@oddletters follow more shitposters.
@oddletters the vibe is definitely more toward earnest than shitposting right now, and I think you know where I'd like it to be...
@oddletters please shitpost!! you’re very good at it and mastodon can take it imo
@oddletters please yes let us shitpost together
@oddletters there's plenty of that around. You're just not seeing it because you're not following the "right" people. 😁
@oddletters would you like me to point you in the direction of the shitposters
because I can do that
please interpret this as a warning
@oddletters I have managed to find corners of the place with more shitposting but it took some digging
@oddletters the instance you seek is jorts.horse
@ancient_catbus excellent thank you
@oddletters yeah it's a hell of an adjustment; i've seen one real shitpost since the influx of new users and it was *nice* but this is definitely not a space where i'd feel like i want to say the same sorts of things I used to say on Twitter! And I think that's healthier and good but sometimes one wants unhealthy things.
