you can read it wrong, but you can't confuse its meaning

Most posts in this community are like that. The focus of this community is not on confusing design, but rather on the humor offered by the contrast in interpretation of the design. The intent doesn't have to be ambiguous.

 

The unintended second message is probably closer to the truth, anyways.

The fascism was the ~~friends~~ enemies we made along the way.

TRaSH. Weird capitalization.

 

You see, the joke is sex. That makes it funny.

I read this, scrolled down, actually processed the words, and scrolled back up to stare at it.

I stared until the blurriness from the tears in my eyes made the catperson's eyes appear closed. Did I win?

Incorrect. It's not about the fact that they're communists. Rather, it's about their strict nationalistic feelings towards Russia and China. They claim that these regimes are communist (which is incorrect), and thus support any action by these nations. They enable and overlook oppressive actions commited by them, while being quick to point out the oppressive actions of the other countries (which are openly capitalist).

I've seen many tankies debate with other people, and they frequently employ tactics used by conspiracy theorists, such as selectively accepting sources, and denouncing everything else as propoganda. I've even seen a tankie denounce a news outlet, then use the same outlet in the same thread to argue their point.

I say this as someone who finds Marxism appealing, by the way. So I am in no way (as far as I can tell) biased against these people.

To the tankies: please don't spread across more instances. I prefer that y'all stay easy-to-block.

 
 
 

I've got one scheduled for tomorrow 6:00 P.M. in the parking lot.

Aw man it's sad that PieFed doesn't have pins (yet™)

 

btw, for those on PieFed, try out the feed ~veganism@piefed.social.

 
 

Also, is this guy seriously suggesting to stop planned parenthood?!

 

I think the idea was that "donut" "do not".

 
 

!youdontmattergiveup@piefed.social is a community inspired by !dontdeadopeninside@lemmy.ohaa.xyz and !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works.

YDMGU focuses on text that, when read a certain way, produces a positive message (such as "You Matter, Don't Give Up."), but reading it a different way produces the opposite message (such as "You Don't Matter, Give Up.").


Q. This community is just a cheap knockoff!
A. No, it isn't. The other communities focus more on the layout, and less on the text; the posted content is supposed to be read in a certain direction, but visual cues lead most people to naturally read it in a different direction. The resultant message does not have to make sense. Meanwhile, YDMGU focuses more on the content: the two messages must be opposite in meaning to each other.

Q. Ah, so all YDMGU are either DDOI or NSSF, but not all DDOI or NSSF are YDMGU?
A. Not exactly. DDOI and NSSF are very strict with the layout, but less strict with the content. In those formats, the text must be able to be read horizontally and vertically. Meanwhile, a YDMGU is less strict with the layout: text can be read horizontally, vertically, or potentially even in another manner.
