some libs and baby leftists are kinda baffled by the trump banter here and don't know what's serious and what's irony

this also doesn't include slurs? it's a joke about the slur filter. you literally can't post slurs through it and, as the admins noted in the thread, if you try, you'll get banned because they log people who post slurs removed by the filter. I've reported people who have used spacing to post a slur through it and the mods immediately deleted the post.

edit:

I had to throw a shit fit and put a target on my back to get the post removed.

also what's this about? what target on your back?

I can interpret the thread innocently but I can also see where malingeringwastrel would start to see something between the lines if there were a bunch of posts like that in a short period, which is what they are claiming. It makes sense to be suspicious of a new account but I can also see where someone genuine might be coming from.

oh no I get the suspicion, I was also a little sus of those posts. it's just weird to make more out of them than is actually in the threads, especially on a days old account.

I edited to clarify, I meant "it makes sense to be suspicious of a new account but I can also see where malingeringwastrel might be coming from"

but yeah, pretty much. The posts are kinda sus, and new account vagueposting was also kinda sus, but tentatively I think malingering wastrel is genuine

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

yeah, fully agree.
