I’m not sure why my friends & family think I’m in charge of the calendar, but I’ll be apologizing for it anyway, because today is my birthday, it’s Teacher’s Appreciation Week, & Mother’s Day is Sunday.
Okay, honest question, why do people call funny posts shitposting? I think we should call news about Elon, Republicans, Fascism, Shootings ect, Shitposts, because they are actually shitty, and posts that make me laugh need a different name, because why is enjoyment shitty? What kind of world is it that we are shamed for enjoyment?
Maybe I am wrong. I always understood the term to mean tweets that are derivative or unexceptional not those that are original and very funny. I do agree that all of the other stuff you note are awful and concerning.
