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

Look, we all do it. We sit down on the shitter, we pull out our phones to wait out the oncoming storm from last nights 5 bean chili, and we think "I know what I'll do. I'll make a series of posts on Hexbear dot net and they'll all be bad." I get it, and I appreciate the sudden influx of throw away sensible chuckle kind of posts that we've all come to love and enjoy.

But here's the thing. Doing this primarily when you're taking a dump is bad opsec. Think rationally about it for a bit. There's a lot you can learn about someone from their dookie behaviors. Assuming you're fairly regular, the FBI can infer what timezone you're in. They can determine if you're a coffee loafer, or if you instead prefer the slower more gentle rollout that tea provides. They can look at flush statistics in your area and using pinpoint accuracy from their crackshot data science teams they can figure out who you are based on this behavior.

But maybe you're living a caffeine free lifestyle off the grid. There's still the increase in cellular activity that corresponds with enhanced badposting. Using this data alongside septic tank truck cleanout schedules they're going to find you out. You can't lay brick like that without the FBI finding out, they'll know. They always know.

So okay, we've established that the FBI always knows when you're taking a break to meet with a man. That's unavoidable. They know. They always know.

What you do need to do is avoid linking your code brown activities to your Hexbear account. There's way too much personal information involved. So you need to ensure, for good opsec, that you're throwing the FBI off their game. It's OK to badpost while you're dropping a deuce once in a while, don't get me wrong. But you've gotta throw them off sometimes. Do you empty the chocolate starfish out at 11:45 local time every day? No worries. Once in a while go ahead and badpost right when you get outta bed, or make a big spree of absolutely dumbass comments at 3:24 local time instead during your union mandated smoke break. You've gotta stay unpredictable. They can predict when it's crap thirty, they're already going to know. So just make sure you do your best to avoid linking your Hexbear behavior to this coveted personal activity.

badposting should not contain effortposts, which means that this post is bad and therefore fits nicely in badposting

All badposting is good posting which means it's in the wrong place which means it's badposting

That's why I write all my posts on the can, then leave the tab open, and submit them at random times throughout the day, especially when I'm in places I couldn't be expected to write a post. As I write this, I'm shitting. But when I hit submit, I'll be scuba diving. Good luck with that, feds.
