badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Hexbear is dying.

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered chapo community when FediDB confirmed that Hexbear market share has dropped yet again, now generating less than a fraction of 1 percent of all reports to lemmy.ml mods. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Hexbear has dropped to a rank of 723,303, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along: Hexbear is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent the-federation.info comprehensive ranking.

You don't need to be the socialweb.observer to predict Hexbear's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Hexbear faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Hexbear because Hexbear is dying. Things are looking very bad for Hexbear. As many of us are already aware, Hexbear continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

!badposting@hexbear.net is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core posters. The sudden and unexplained departures of long time mods @ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net and @TomboyShulk@hexbear.net only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: !badposting@hexbear.net is dying.

All major surveys show that Hexbear has steadily declined in market share. Hexbear is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Hexbear is to survive at all it will be among dilettante posting dabblers. Hexbear continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Hexbear is dead.
