Now that the Anti Union comm is gone can FakeNews get removed?
Worst comm on the site run by the least funny people
Seconding this, I refuse to read comm names and sometimes it convinces me that [insert beloved celebrity] has died after smoking fent while having an IBS attack
I don't want to dog on the subject but the concept could be funny if the bits were quality and occasional, but it seems to be a shotgun blast of first thought stuff that is at least a workshop away from a sensible chuckle or even smirk
Don't we have enough unfunny bullshit from the greater Lemmyverse? Do we need to shit out our own too?
[insert beloved celebrity] has died after smoking fent while having an IBS attack
More like [insert beloved celebrity] who's like 70-80 anyway died from natural causes.
It's not creative or goofy or a little suspicious on the face of it, it's just a fake story played straight. The only joke is "you idiot, you fool, for a second you believed this plausible story no one has any reason to make up!"
They got rid of the comm? Wow. This is the first I'm hearing about it. It was an amazing comm that lived an amazing life, whether you agree with it or not. I'm just hearing about this. Thank you.
i think too many of you are afraid of having your smarty pants card revoked for believing a lie on the internet. it's not that big a deal.
It is a big fucking deal. I worked harder than a union man (very low bar) to get my smarty pants card and I'm not going to have it taken from me 
i don't like the idea of any kind of space built on pure irony/sarcasm because it always devolves into earnestness by people who don't catch the joke, or people who want to hide something insidious within the irony
maybe our beautiful mods could have handled it before it got too out of control, but I'm still just not into it

Idk if that's totally true, I've seen ironic spaces that manage to keep things under control, the main factors seem to be if the community was founded by people who were genuinely there for ironic play or by people looking to hide their actual opinions, and if the mod team is vigilant in chasing off people who show up who clearly aren't there for the humor.
yeah I'd actually have more faith about our userbase and mods keeping it under control. I think I'm more neutral about the whole thing honestly
Our community is also pretty insular and doesn't really much diversity in terms of political opinion so idk if actual Chuds stumbling in to participate is that much of a risk
We will reform the Anti Union comm, and a bot will post long winded pro union theory and a debate on the nature of comedy automatically under every comment
We can discuss it after you stop dealing fent. How many clientele of yours have OD'ed again because you keep listening to discord podcasts while cutting your product?
I'm pretty sure you're joking but getting someone killed due to listening to discord podcasts sounds like something a hexbear would do.
Unless OP is lying they've been very open about pushing fent
Their operation is so large they regularly refer to it as a "fent factory"
Gonna give my 2 cents. I don't particularly like that comm but I don't think it potentially causes harm as the anti union one might have.
Watch yourself sister, I'll suck you off so hard you'll never be able to write again
Lol owned by the mods
This is also implies that mods don't consider threats of dick sucking as hostile
Def gonna have to dive into the modlog to parse out this interaction
Edit: not as interesting as your snapback would imply
I've had that comm blocked since the day it was created and both its posters blocked since before it was created. Honestly baffling to me that they haven't been permabanned yet. You're not even exaggerating when you say least funny people, and they're also among the most toxic.
I think it's a helpful reminder to check yourself when you're reading shit on the Internet

Noooooooooooooooooooo
I like it 
it's also a pretty good when it fools you to make you check yourself more often and remember to be cautious about what you see online
I vote we replace it with a comm called "Fake Mews" that's just for artwork of cats!
wooow, now hexerites are claiming clones aren't deserving of rights?? this is a real mew! #clonesrightsnow
I feel like between being able to unsubscribe from comms and/or blocking users, it’s not hard to avoid it.
it sucks, but not as much as the union one. it's annoying and depressing to see the posts there tho. I could probably block it myself tho?
They got rid of the anti-union comm? My silly little set theory joke gone, like tears in rain.
I too am upset. I just found it before i went to sleep and made a really bad post there. I dont even get to see if anyone thought it was worth an up bear.
It doesn't need to be removed because it isn't reactionary or punching down. Just block it. The anti union sub was punching down so fuck it
