    I rather like the shitpost bombardment. It’s the type of thing that creates a party vibe, and it could attract more than a few eyeballs to peek and linger. As the content can be somewhat dry in a community that’s just starting out, this helps to normalize the place, make it more familiar to visiting eyes.

    This current shitposting challenge sure as hell beats a barrage of anti-reddit, anti-musk, anti-zuckerberg posts, as well as “how does this [Fediverse/instances/posting/etc] work?” dominating the All page.

      I love the memes and shitposts. They’re lighthearted and fun, and entertaining. I’m not here looking for reddit just with less comment traffic, I’m here for the atmosphere and the community.

      Just talking to/with real people is a huge plus, getting genuine opinions, good faith opinion/discourse, with little divisive content, and the “big” news hits my all feed just fine.

      There’s plenty of avenues available to find conflict, controversy, drama, and walls of opinion to engage and enrage with elsewhere.

      This place feels like a community where everyone is at least somewhat vested in contributing and making things better/more enjoyable for all, and in my opinion it doesn’t need to change or accomplish anything else

      Exactly how I feel. Are they all good? No. But it feels like a party where everyone is just batting jokes around and most people are laughing. Then you have dan who is bored and keeps trying to change the conversation even though everyone else is having fun
