To what end? It’s a silly little 5 second joke we’re meant to read and move on. If this had originally been a tweet would you have expected the OP here to have given you a dissertation about the history of twitter and why Elon Musk sucks so much for turning it into a nazi-haven? How would that have been relevant?
Jesus Christ, you people suck the fun out of things like it’s your damn job.
Well you are right, I don't like reposted tweets with no other effort either. Let's do better, ilikecheese.
This website is exactly what you make of it. I don’t care for shitposts, low effort memes, or just absurdist humor in general, so I make very liberal use of the block community button so I don’t have to see things that other people seem to enjoy, but I don’t.
You know what I try really hard not to do though?
Go around and bitch about things that other people do like when it’s really fuckin’ easy to just press one button and never see similar content ever again. Maybe you should try it if you find this type of humor isn’t up to your high standards.
The humor is 20+ years old. If you are going to re-post it, at least add something to it! Otherwise http://bash.org/ still exists! You can go there right now and find all kind of hilarious comments from before https existed. Reposts are lazy, let's do better.
I had no idea about bash.org until this post. I wouldn't have known to go to bash.org without seeing this "repost".
If you’re going to make crappy arguments, could you at least make different ones than the same ones I’ve already addressed from other people? There are people here who aren’t even 20 years old themselves. It’s absolutely absurd that you would suggest that someone can’t repost something just because it’s from another site. That’s literally where 99% of all of the content from sites like Lemmy and Reddit come from. You’re just bitching for the sake of having something to bitch about.
I think it’s time for me to take my own advice and use that block button to make things I don’t like go bye-bye.
Bye-bye!
I have said from the beginning that if you are going to repost something, ADD TO IT! Leave the karma farming to shittier sites.
